There has been much scrutiny in the national media placed on the health of Tiger Woods after pain in his knee forced the golfer to remove himself from the Players Championship on May 6, and apparently Tiger is sick of talking about it.

Woods tweeted early Tuesday morning that he would donate $1 million to the Tiger Woods Foundation if "nobody asked [him] about the leg" in a press conference for the AT&T National in Philadelphia.

Although reporters did indeed ask him questions about his health, Woods tweeted later that he would honor his original statement and donate the money anyway.

Woods is continuing to rehab his sore knee and Achilles' tendon, and expects to return fully for the U.S. Open on June 16. Woods has not won a PGA Tour event since the BMW Championship on Sept. 13, 2009 and has not won a major since the 2008 U.S. Open.
