What can I compare this to?
As is obvious to anyone who has seen Tiger swing a club, he puts a tremendous amount of torque on the knee he is getting surgery on. I am wondering if there are exact measurements as to how much torque people, particularly Tiger, put on their knee during a golf swing. As I am relatively unfamiliar with physics, I would also appreciate a comparison of that measurement to something understandable.

Answer by Danman
the same amount as if you jumped to the side. the club doesn’t do anything to you. you do things to the club.

Harvey Pennick recommended learning golf from the hole outwards. Learn to put, then chip, then everything else.

Answer by Joe M
Here it is in simple terms.
Torque = Force X lever.
The lever is the distance from the center of curvature of the swing.
Force= mass X acceleration

Mass is the wt of the club, his arms and the ball itself when he hits it.
Acceleration if from the equation
accel=w^2(r)
Here is how you find the r. Find the point where half of the mass of the swing is further out, and half is closer to the center. That is the r part of the acceleration.
Now let me get in to the w. Just at there are 360 degrees in a complete circle. There is 2*pi radians in a complete circle. Approx 6.28 radians in a complete circle.
w=radians/second
Try to find out how much time it takes to complete the swing and how much of a complete circle it takes. Take the percentage of a complete circle, multiply it y 2 * pi and then divide it by the amount of time it takes to complete that swing. That would be w. Take the w to the second poser, this is w^2.

Attention golfers! Improve your swing with this exercise. Sitting on a firm ball, walk your legs far enough forward so that your upper back, shoulders and head are resting comfortably on the ball. Create a bridge position with your lower body so that your legs and abs are tight and working. Reach arms straight up to the ceiling and twist (keep arms straight) to one side then the other. Twist at your waist and aim to come right up onto your side of shoulder for more challenge. Intermediate to advanced.
