Surprised Paddy Power didn't mention Notah Begay. I'd put up $100 on none of the above.

I think Chamblee should become Tiger's next swing coach. He seems to know EXACTLY what is wrong with Tiger's swing.

And the next instructor Woods is hiring is... me!

And you're missing mine. Designating someone as a mechanic or an artist is totally useless because it means nothing. Literally nothing. One mans artist is another mans mechanic. Once again, Ben Hogan

I wonder what LaCava thinks about all this... maybe I haven't paid attention, but he doesn't seem to say much.

I think that's why Tiger likes him...

As for Butch, I'm all for it but don't see it ever happening....then again, I didn't think Lebron would ever go back to Cleveland.

At this point, does he really need a coach?  I would rather see him just get a video assistant to film his range sessions.

He should sign up with Evolvr.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

The problem is, I don't know if Tiger knows what to look for on the video. He might see something, but it might not be anything he needs to worry about.

I think that's why Tiger likes him...

As for Butch, I'm all for it but don't see it ever happening....then again, I didn't think Lebron would ever go back to Cleveland.

I doubt  Butch would even accept him back. From what read, Butch's son said his dad was going to retire soon, until Ricky got to talking to him and helped rejuvenate his passion for teaching golf again. I don't think Butch wants that drama this late in his career.

He should sign up with Evolvr.

Send him up to Erie, PA! :-D

Um...yeah...I think the Erie guys would be getting on a plane to Jupiter, FLA and not the other way around...

Chuck Cook is the only one on the list that's a possibility but it's not a strong one.

I don't know him or what he knows, but I think pros are better off with a coach that can tell them do this do that, and let them do the thinking.

Woods hires... Chamblee and Nobilio They bicker and fight and Woods gets nothing done, in frustration, goes on to hire... Ghost of Ben Hogan Woooo..... The ... secret... is ... in ... the ... dirt ... Wooooo. Ghost of Ben Hogan dispels all the theories people thought he believed in. Golf forums impode on themselves. Woods fires him in frustration, goes on to hire... Anonymous Whatever the press does, can't identify the guy, Woods wins 3 majors, can't break JN's record, press loses interest in anonymous, no one ever figures out who he is, goes on to be one of the great mysteries along with who killed Kennedy, where's Jimmy Hoffa.

This is not a surprise. I now wonder who Woody's next victim will be .

Yeah, look at how working with Tiger has victimized Harmon, Haney, and Foley.  They went from household names to unknowns.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Pretty bad decision in my opinion.  Foley's other students have the best swings on tour right now and I think the only thing holding Tiger back from being on par with Rose or Mahan was his injuries

Right?! I mean guys are selling DVDs and books because of Tiger. And @2rakez Another thing Tiger has in common with other Foley students is lower back injuries.

Who knows but maybe Foley had something to do with this as well.  Maybe he told Tiger he is going to bow out to take some pressure off both of them and allow him to focus more time with his other students.  He already got the fame that goes with teaching Tiger so he can now move on to other things.  Tiger has a host of his own issues he needs to fix far outside anything Foley brought to the table or other instructors can provide.

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

      I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.
