I hear you but that is not the point. Sometimes a wholesale physical change disrupts timing, mechanics, etc. Jordan talked about it relative to his game. Does that mean that a guy with Lebron's body cannot work out and get all jacked up? Of course not.

By the way, Nicklaus, B Chamblee, and Hank Haney all have mentioned that part of Tiger's regression was too much time in the gym.

I think for Tiger it was a combination of injuries and getting too mechanical in his swing. When he’s been healthy he’s won, whether it was with Butch, Hank, or Sean. Whether he was big and bulky and small and wiry

It’s really pretty Incredible he’s gone to world #1 with 4!!! Different swings

Of those guys, Haney was the one who was closest to the situation, and I think he misunderstood what Tiger was doing physically to attribute it to "too much time in the gym". Henrik Stenson is a work out warrior as well, and he's a big, strong, fit dude like Tiger is - he just wasn't doing some of the things that Tiger was.

It wasn't Tiger's standard lifting, flexibility, and cardio routine that was making him break down. It was his SEAL-style work outs - going on runs with a weighted vest, HALO jumping, etc. - that was doing much more damage than a strong golf-oriented fitness routine. It's a sure fire way to make your body break down earlier than it otherwise would, and it does nothing for bulking up (in fact, it makes you lose weight and mass if anything). It just does unbelievable damage to your back, hips, and lower body joints.
