This was pretty much what I thought when he changed to Foley, but was somewhat verified by Haney's book.  The only reason he is going through another swing change is to keep him interested.  He needs something to be working on in order to keep him practicing and interested in golf.

But I do agree with Alliss and Jenkins.  He is so insanely talented, all he needs to do is practice and show up.  He may not win 30%, or whatever the insane number is, of tournaments he enters.  But he'll still get plenty more wins.  He doesn't need to be going through all these significant swing changes to improve.  Not only that, but he gives away 2 years each time that he could be playing majors and possibly winning one or two of them.

Who!?!?!?  A writer and a golfer who's better known for his voice than his game????  Got it.

No real surprise that they would take shots at Tiger given how little access Tiger has given them during his career, and the lack of candor when he has given access.  These guys write/comment about golf and golfers for a living, and Tiger goes out of his way to give them nothing to write/talk about.  At their induction, instead of Tiger having the podium, they did, and they expressed their feelings.  What goes around comes around.

Tiger won a PGA Tour event about a month ago.

Who cares, he missed his 8th cut of his career last week and only has 9 lives. He's done.
Well actually I care. But to address your reply, can you name me ONE other golfing professional that's only had 8 missed cuts in their golfing CAREER? Oh and we're talking 15 years also. JM.02.

Peter's never been afraid to speak his mind

I think he's spot on in his assessment


Yes Sir !!!  Seems to be a common theme with all the greats, when discussing Woods Game !!!
To bad Tiger has a listening problem, All the games greats, are not wrong here !!!
Can Allen Iverson, criticize Michael Jordans basketball practices? I think not. So therefore these 'greats" need to keep their thoughts to themselves.

Says a lot about his voice considering his golf was good enough to get him on 8 Ryder Cup teams, including defeating Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper and Ken Venturi in the 1965 Ryder Cup.

Haters gonna hate (sarc).

The Tiger era is over.  We moved on to Bubba, Rory and Ricky.  Deal with it fanbois.  

You cannot have 32 putts plus the yips in the PGA.  Just need more reps.


   First you are out of line to call anyone on this forum some BS name because you can , it's way past being a grade school humor no thought process comment , it's just rude and annoying and it'a shame you cant be knocked into next week for being sarcastic and this golf forum preaches harmony and gentlemanly conduct which is just a joke as those like you think it's appropriate behavior to attach a stigma name because some enjoy watching this player play golf and those who make decisions here just pass a blind eye to it  .. rant over ..but as the Good Lord as my witness hopefully TW wins another major so you can choke on your silly comments
