Let me start by saying I've never had "The Yips". But I have suffered from brutal snap hook off the tee syndrome. I once entered a tournament in which I went in feeling pretty good about my game. Then I snap hooked the very first tee shot. (I didn't see it coming. No snap hooks during warm up on the range.) After that, I couldn't stop snap hooking the entire tournament. That was like 15-20 years ago and I have golf friends who to this day make fun of me for how I played in that tournament. Conversely, a buddy of ours once had the worse case of the yips I've ever seen in a tournament. Everyone felt sorry for him.  My point is in my experience you get the snap hooks you get made fun of. You get the yips you get sympathy. 

All of them 🤣 Probably most backswing stuff is a matter of willpower.  Downswing might be much less so. Probably due to how little time there is to make an adjustment. Maybe stuff like when to weight shift. Though, physical limitations are very tough to use willpower. If your left hip is messed up, I doubt you can use willpower to use the left side the way you should.  Off the top of my head.  1) Pre-shot routine 2) Putting stroke 3) Game planning, sticking to a plan  

Great advice from Newhart. IMO unless there is a serious mechanical flaw most have the ability to will themselves to a consistent tempo.    

Be happy Tiger is not playing. 😄 Not that he gets as much attention lately as before, but focus on him has ground a lot of gears through the years.
