Where in the World is Tiger Woods? - RANDALL MELL - Golf News & Articles | Golf Channel

When Woods pushed his tee shot right and into the desert scrub brush with a 3-wood to lose at the 19th hole, he brought more scrutiny over where his game’s headed as he builds a new swing.
Even Tiger’s former swing coach weighed in with skepticism.
“For all the talk of Tiger’s poor driving the last six years,” Hank Haney wrote on his Twitter account, “I have never seen him drive it out of play with a match or tournament on the line.”
After defeating Woods, Bjorn appeared to give the 14-time major championship winner a spirited pep talk as they shook hands.

pep talk? Maybe he told Tiger that all the stuff he said in Sweedish today wasn't really about his wife.

You would think that he could keep a three wood in play.

Tiger's swing looks better but his ball is doing bad things. It's not a good situation in Tiger World.

Especially when you find out that everything about the picture is real, yet unintended.

1) The shot itself.
2) The gallery. Everybody's watching the shot, so are more or less looking into the camera.
3) The periscope on the left hand side.
4) The little kid hiding down below. Like a little Gollum.
5) The Indian guy on the right, with the wig, fake mustache, chomping on a cigar, with a great look on his face.

What is the purpose of the change this time? I believe the last major adjustment Hank was working on was to get more distance off the driver.

Make him more consistent. I honestly thought he was coming around with Hank and then the whole affair deal happened and he lost it last year, no there are different principles involved to make him more consistent.

FWIW, he is hitting it farther than he ever was with Hank and by a considerable margin. I think he will get it figured out but it may be awhile.

Let's see if I've got this straight, his swing looks better but he's dumps a 3 wood in the brush on a playoff hole?

Yes. You got it. Good job.

Quoting Brandel Chamblee this morning..."I don't understand why Tiger is changing his swing because if it works, Tiger will be right back where he started...Winning tournaments by 12 to 15 shots"......

I think that Tiger has shot himself in the foot with all these coaches and swing theories and changes....

Look at Ricky Fowler...the guy only thinks about Making Golf Shots ie high/ low and draw or fade. Ricky warms up with about a dozen shots and then goes to the golf course....No time to think or worry about swing theories....

Tiger is thinking too much about his swing instead of just playing golf....
