I think it had an impact but I also remember at the time he thought it was necessary because his back was giving out.

For the golf experts, what effect if any did Tiger deciding to remake his swing during the peak of his dominance (maybe 2004, but that could be wrong) have on the total majors he won?

And his original swing was tough on his knees as well. Physically he couldn't sustain his younger swing.

He rebuilt the swing with Hank Haney in 2004. in 2003 he was starting to feel the need to make a change. Won 5 tournaments but no majors. He only had one win in 2004 that year and probably gave up that year in the effort to rebuild the swing. He went on to win 7 majors and a bunch of other wins after the swing rebuild, so you'd have to consider giving up one season to follow it up with that much success had to be worth it.
