Unlikely. No seriously, he probably won't.



I tend to agree with this.

Other than his victory in 2001, he doesn't have that great a record at Sawgrass. Rumor has it he severely dislikes the course and the design.

When he has won 80 tournaments and has 14 majors, then he can give Tiger advice.


And exactly how many tournaments and majors has Sean Foley won?

Elk giving Tiger swing advice is kinda silly.
I think you're retarded. Elk didn't even give him advice.

I think most of the advise/criticism that Tiger is receiving is to quit thinking about his swing so much. He's way too technical right now. Just relax and swing the club. Just like a baseball player can't be thinking about 5 different things while the pitch is coming to the plate, a golfer can't be thinking about posture, hips, setting my hands, elbow in, etc. Tiger needs to use the KISS method. Keep It Simple Stupid!

Quit thinking about it and swing the club.

flip side to that is he is in the middle of a swing change. that requires being mechanical until it becomes ingrained in you. if he were to just go play golf, he would revert to his old swing patterns. he says he has done this 2 times in the past and was mechanically for a time with all of the changes. once he gets enough reps and fully trusts it, he will stop being so mechanical.

Yeah, that would be terrible. You know, winning majors and stuff.

A whole page talking about Tiger, nice.

But seriously, I wish he would just win a major so everyone and their mom can stop talking about what Tiger needs to do with HIS golf swing.

He needs to watch what Rory is doing and try to mimic that.

I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing that. He's got a beautiful swing. I miss the Tiger swing circa 2000

Tiger should have gone back to Butch Harmon a long time ago.

I agree with that. I think his pride got the best of him though.

I agree this is the right answer but it may be a personal thing that can not be fixed..

Tiger needs to come up with a "Tiger" swing...he's had enough coaching through the years to know what to do!
