On the Golf Channel, Tiger is being interviewed and he said that when he becomes healthy, he can finally begin to work on what he an Hank want to work on. He said they were trying to fix his "left leg snap", but he couldnt because he had no ACL and his leg had nothing to stop from fully straightening. So, when he can support his leg, and not snap it, it will mean an increase in accuracy, especially with the driver. Maybe a loss of distance, but he will be able to put it in the fairway more often.

Hmm, interesting.

That makes sense, and it's good to hear Tiger knows what he is going to correct (a la Ben Hogan). If Tiger can improve his consistency off the tee as a result, his play will become even more incredible.

Any link to the interview video or transcript?

He already uses the softest and least distance player ball out there. I do not think it matters to him if he loses 5 more yards.

It is great for fans, but most importantly it is great for golf. Sponsors need him there.

But I have to say golf has been just as exciting without him. I thought the last Major was a great show!

i agree with that. nothing against tiger, but i like seeing dogfights to the end.

not majors that tiger is 3 up heading into sunday and wins by 5 because everybody wilts. if he hits the ball straighter off the tee, he will win (even more) constantly.

with the dial back on grooves, it will be very beneficial for him to find more fairways anyway. i would have been interested to see Tiger not hurt and stick with his swing through 2010 and see how he handled not being able to play out of the rough as easily.

People like Sergio and Vijay might give have given him a run.

A straighter Tiger , he would dominate if he could hit 65/70% of fairways imo.


(proper domination of the tour, not just a 'convincing' domination, if that makes any sense)

I think Tiger's swing and strength is why he's so good out of the rough now, not the grooves.

very good point jlin.....i cant disagree. But i do feel the groove dial back will have some (though it may be minimal) effect on his style of play. grooves help it stop out of the rough....we will see more land and release type shots in a couple years

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
