This is no joke: for the first time since 1994, Tiger Woods will miss the Masters. Woods revealed on his website that he had surgery on his back to relieve pain from a pinched nerve. The operation, called a microdiscectomy, was performed in Park City, Utah. "After attempting to get ready for the Masters, and failing to make the necessary progress, I decided, in consultation with my doctors, to have this procedure done," Woods said on his website. The timeframe for his recovery is not definitive but its believed Woods can start chipping and putting within three weeks. Its unknown if hell be ready in time to play the U.S. Open, although he hopes to be back "sometime this summer." The surgery is the same procedure that Graham DeLaet went through in January 2011. The Canadian missed most of the season while recovering, however Woods ailment is believed to be less serious and the surgery less involved than DeLaets. Woods back troubles flared up earlier this year causing him to withdraw from the Honda Classic as well as miss the Arnold Palmer Invitational. It meant another year in which the worlds top-ranked player has been sidelined. The last year Woods played an uninterrupted schedule was 2007. Reached at the PGA Tour stop in Houston, Dr. Craig Davies, a Canadian chiropractor and movement and conditioning coach who works with more than a dozen pros including DeLaet, said that bad backs are common in golf due to the nature of the movement. "The golf swing is not natural," he stated. "The human body was not created in a manner that would allow it to move that way." Davies said that if a golfers hips and thoracic spine dont rotate, then the lower back takes the brunt of the golf swing, causing problems such as Woods is experiencing. Since DeLaets surgery, Davies has developed a training program that is specifically designed to minimize the rotation through the lower back. DeLaet has been problem-free since he came back to the Tour in 2012. "Hes one of the best in the world," DeLaet said of Davies. "Im glad hes on my team. He makes it easy for me because I see results." For Woods, the surgery means more questions about not only his swing but his training methods, which have seen him bulk up considerably since he first came on tour. It also puts more doubt on his ability to catch Jack Nicklaus and his record of 18 major victories. Jack Ham Jersey .

The White Sox dealt Crain to Tampa Bay on July 29.ROME -- Roma was both classy and fortunate to beat Napoli 2-0 Friday and match the best start in Serie A history with its eighth consecutive win. Miralem Pjanic scored twice for the Giallorossi in the 1 vs. 2 clash. First, the Bosnia midfielder found the net four minutes into first-half added time with a sublime free kick that went over Napolis wall before dipping down into the top corner. Then he added a penalty in the 71st after Napoli captain Paolo Cannavaro was shown a red card for taking down Marco Borriello inside the area, leaving the visitors with 10 men. Napoli wasted three close chances. Goran Pandev failed to finish with only the goalkeeper to beat and Lorenzo Insigne and Gokhan Inler each hit the post. Former Napoli great Diego Maradona was in attendance but he had little to cheer for. Roma matched Juventus, which also won eight consecutive matches to start the 1985-86 and 1930-31 seasons. The Bianconeri went on to win the Serie A title on both occasions. Juventus also won nine straight in 2005-06 but its title that season was stripped in the "calciopoli" match-fixing scandal. Roma moved five points ahead of Napoli and Juventus, which visits Fiorentina on Sunday. Perhaps even more impressive than its record is Romas goal differential, with 22 scored and one allowed. Roma hasnt won the title since 2001. The only negative moments for Roma came when captain Francesco Totti exited with an apparent right thigh muscle problem after a half hour and Gervinho went off with a similar injury in the second half. While the Stadio Olimpico was not completely full, the atmospheree was electric.dddddddddddd When Maradona entered the stadium early in the first half, fans -- both Napoli and Roma supporters -- rushed past security to take his picture as he waved to the crowd. Napoli started with its standout forward Gonzalo Higuain on the bench with a minor injury and Roma controlled the opening 20 minutes. Daniele De Rossi and Pjanic threatened for Roma early on and just as Napoli began to assert itself, Totti went to the sideline. Totti had his thigh massaged for a few minutes but then decided he couldnt come back on and walked down into the changing room as Borriello replaced him. In the 35th, a through ball from Insigne set up Pandev with only Roma goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis to beat but the Macedonia striker couldnt get his shot around De Sanctis, who played for Napoli the past four seasons. Despite De Sanctis deflection, the ball still trickled toward the net but De Rossi cleared the danger just in time. Ten minutes later, Napoli threatened again when Insigne wasted a great chance by hitting the outside of the post from five meters (yards). Down at the other end, Gervinho earned the foul that set up the free kick for Pjanics goal. Napoli was again dangerous at the start of the second half with Inler hitting the outside of the post with a long shot in the 49th. De Rossi nearly doubled the lead when his bouncing a header missed in the 58th and Higuain replaced Pandev in the 68th. Two minutes after Higuain came on, Pjanic pounded his penalty into the back of the net and Napoli didnt have the will -- or time -- to recover from a two-goal deficit.
