Bubba Watson disclosed details around a horrific knee injury before his long-awaited debut for LIV Golf.
The two-time Masters champion required surgery last June following the PGA Championship to fix a torn meniscus. It forced the 44-year-old off the course for an extended period of eight months and in an interview with Golf Digest, he explained when he knew he was in serious pain. “[The] little tears [in my meniscus] kept getting worse,” Watson said. “At the PGA Championship, I shot 63.
“[On the 10th hole] I looked at my caddie, and I said, ‘I can't walk … my knee hurts so bad I can't walk.’ He goes, ‘Well, the clubhouse is right here; we can quit.’ I said, ‘I'm one off the lead, man …Tiger Woods won [the 2008 U.S. Open] with a broken leg … If I chip in and make a few putts, we've got 27 holes to battle.’”
