The 'Great White Shark' has had a quiet time after a curtailed 1998 season due to surgery to remove bone spurs from his left shoulder ten days after he missed a second consecutive cut in the Masters Tournament that year. Took six months off to recover but made a fairytale comeback in his own 'Shark Shoot-Out' in November 1998, partnering Steve Elkington to victory at the third hole of a sudden-death play-off.

Definition
Bone spurs are abnormal, bony growths at the end of bones. They are most commonly located in the spine or other weight-bearing joints.

Part of the problem may be the body's response to arthritis, which is to manufacture extra bone to stop joint movement. The extra bone is called a bone spur or bony overgrowth. In medical terms, the extra bone is called an osteophyte (os-t-o-fight).
