I am not predicting it will happen, but what if Tiger does a Duval, and only gets worse? Would it how much interest would fans and media still have in Tiger?

Well by the looks of things not getting any better!! This is Tiger best finishes this year so far

4th in the Masters 4th in the U.S. Open 19th Memorial Tour 23rd British Open 46th AT&T; Now 78th in the Bridgestone Now I see a trend going on here!!!

I don't think they're the right ideas judging by those pictures. He's not finishing higher than 20th.

OH NO, Not the dreaded "Keep you head down"???? Every duffer in the world thinks this that is the key to golf...pull hook, Keep you head down Push to the left, Keep your head down. High w/o any power keep you head down.

He might as well take a few weeks off, sell his clubs start hanging out with Brian Bozworth and Ryan Leaf to complete the washout triplets.... Naa just kidding, he might not fix it in the next few weeks, but he'll be back!

He's actually working on keeping upright and not

dropping his head so much on the downswing.

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.

Yes, we know. I'm sure bigtank knows that too.

His head always dropped, in the back and as well in the downswing - even when he was hitting it well. Thats not the solution to his problems...

For those of you who are intrested - this guy analysed Tigers head dip and compared it to Ben Hogan who had the same action going on:


Burner 9°
FW Burner 15°
Burner Rescue 19°
MP67 4-PW
CG10 50° CG12 DSG 54° & 60°


Different plan today for Tiger.Presumably this is to stop him moving his head too far to the right on the backswing..






I'm sure that'll help .

A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

Yeah, I figured he knew that after I posted and realized what his HC was. :)

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.


His life has been turned upside down. I praise him for getting back in the saddle so quickly. The only cure for his problems is winning. A victory will break the pain and a couple of wins and he is back on top. Do I ever think he will win 7 in a row or 3 or more Majors in a year, definately not.

Hey Eric, how come you say that? Is it because he's not working on his hand path?

He has a few things to work on, and his head staying level during the start of his downswing is not in the top three. It may not be in the top ten... of about five things he might need to change or tweak.

It's funny to think what may have been going through his head when that coach laid that club up against his hat. He probably had flinching flashbacks of the night

his wife put the club upside his head. Oh, the mental picture of that!

If the club against the right side of his head is meant to stop him from moving to the right on the backswing, then, that is good. It'll keep him over the ball and improve his contact...(especially if his swing is more upright as Sean Foley mentioned today vs. the laid off crap).

If it's there so he won't "drop his head, then, he's looking entirely in the wrong places and will struggle terribly this weekend.

There was talk on "Live from the PGA Championship" today on GolF Channel that some people think Tiger will never win another major and some even going as far to say he will never win again and will retire after next year. I do think Jack's record is safe, Tiger won't break the majors won record. Just too much mentally to overcome to get back to that level IMO. But to say he won't win again is silly.

I think that this is an extrememly short sided comment those people made on the Golf Channel.... I've said this before and I will say it again - it amazes me how short people's memories are...Yes, tiger is in a major slump but to say he will never win a tournament again..........really? Have we all so quickly forgotten what he has done and is capable of???

if theres anything to be said about Tiger, it's that he's extremely stubborn, resistant, and somethign should be said about his work ethic. I don't think for a second that Tiger will retire. Regardless of his poor performance this past season, he'll kick back. Thats a given in my opinion. What Tiger needs to do is get a confident swing back that he can trust. That involves a coach which I think Foley will able to achieve. Maybe not this season, but next year, he'll come back around.

I think there will always be an interest in Tiger no matter how bad he gets simply because everyone loves a great comeback story. Look at John Daly: people still talk about him every time he is even remotely in the hunt for a win.
Personally, I think Tiger is done. He just doesnt have the same fire in his eyes that he used to.

    • Day 133: did a stack session. 
    • You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.
    • Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.
    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
