Tiger's putting woes


This is a tremendous article that was written by Rick Reilly.  It is pretty funny, very informative, and interesting.  I didn't know that Tiger is winless on the PGA Tour after that day in 2010 at the British Open that he went to the Nike putter.  Tiger was one of the best putters on the planet in his hayday.  Unfortunately for him his life has been turned upside down.  He lacks the support he once had from his father, he lacks the fun he used to have before everyone thought he was a sex addict, he lacks the confidence he once had because he is second guessing his technique (which doesn't look good in my opinion), and that Scotty Cameron putter he won 13 majors with.  Dude, you don't need the money from Nike!  Or do you?  Gotta pay that child support!  Haha.  It's gonna be fun to watch what happens in the near future with this broken man....

Tiger's physique


Is it me or does Tiger keep getting bigger and bigger.  His chest looks huge.  I think he has been playing too many tournaments with KJ Choi and talking about powerlifting.  After watching him play yesterday on TV his putting setup has changed bigtime because of how big he is and his new coach.  In his new setup because his chest is so big, he is more bent over, his elbows are further apart, his hands are lower, he appears further away from the ball, and his putter is flatter.  Not a big fan.  But we will see.  The first picture is how he used to setup.  Looks pretty good and it functioned well too.  The second picture is the new look.
