Yep, about a month ago. His putting was dog shite at the beginning of the year.

Broadcast last night said he was on pace to match/exceed 2006 Tiger for the best tee to green numbers since strokes gained became a recorded stat.

If his putting is just OK he will win over and over and over.

His old putter was causing mis-alignment issues for some reason.

He changed putters.

I'm not sure why this is downvoted because this 100% happened the first tournament he played after Rory said this.

I don't think Rory saying this was the reason he switched. But coincidentally, it happened right after he said it.

They talked about this earlier in the week. Described his putting earlier this season as just bad luck.

Scary good.

His iron game is incredible.

Said he also quit using an alignment aid on the ball as well. Put more feel back in it.

Not sure I'd call him great just yet.

But almost everything else he does is so far and away better than the competition that he just needs to be an ok putter and he's going to win a lot.

It's the best golf we've seen since Tigers prime.

If he just improves 15% at putting he would be almost unbeatable.

His long game is currently unmatched out there.
