Joking aside, until you have tried to make a 3-4 footer when it counts, you won't know how difficult they are.  I am continually amazed at how good the guys on tour are at sinking these "easy" putts.

Please...let's not overreact. My original comment was meant to have humor in it anyway, but I guess none of you picked up on that. All I was doing was saying that those short putts he missed, he should have made. They may not be easy for everyone, but they're easy from him. Pressure doesn't bother him. If he misses a putt, it's his fault. He's learned to block out the distractions around him.

And practicing putting makes perfect. Anyone will become a better putter if they practice and practice.

More break than in the ones he missed in the final round of Augusta. I'm just saying, those were putts he should have drained easily--he used to be the best putter on Tour.

I didn't see any real info in there. Notah Begay pretty much says Tiger's camp hasn't said anything. The headline will get a ton of hits tho!

They should just give him robot legs that are fully functional and capable of moving just like human legs. Then he'd be good for life and could just worry about his game. LOL.

Knee is definitely a HUGE part of the problem. Thing can only take so many surgeries and still try and hold up with all the torque he puts/used to put on it (thanks Butch). My uncle is going through the exact same problem right now and he has been telling me that it is so hard to make a confident swing bc when you go to make the turn you are so scared that your knee is just gonna POP and its gonna hurt like hell. I really hope he just takes the rest of the year off and lets it heal to the best of its ability. I think I can speak for a lot of people when saying that it would be EPIC to see him and rory dueling eachother for majors during the next 10 years (if the knee can hold up that long).

Tiger has sprained his anterior cruciate ligament , which keeps the knee intact right in the middle. If that is injured, even only a mild sprain which Tiger has, it is going to be a major problem. You won't only feel pain when you turn in your swing, you'll feel pain when walking and even moving your knee. I have it highlighted in yellow here:

KNEE INJURIES--Anterior Ligament.jpg

Unfortunately, maybe taking the rest of the year off wouldn't be a bad idea. Being the big Tiger fan I am, I want to see him out on the course ASAP, but I would rather have him be 100% healed. If he's 100% healed in time for the PGA Championship, then I say he should play. When he's 100%, he's 100%...sitting around at home for a few more weeks or months isn't going to make him 120%. So whenever he's fully healed, he should come back, and we don't know exactly when that will be.

yea he really needs to find a swing where he doesnt snap that knee. Hes still snapping it with foley, Foleys going to have to be creative to find a way around it if Tigers going to stick with him.

He is? I thought he said he hasn't done it for a few years now.

    • Wordle 1,047 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Mis-read that par putt 🤬
    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
