Was never much of a Tiger fan because he seemed too stand-offish. But he seems to be more affable. Maybe loosing Stevie on the bag, the Hank Haney sp.? book, the marriage break up has humbled him a bit. I don't know but I like the new Tiger he seems more approachable.

I'd have to agree. After the whole Tiger scandal, he changed because he probably realized he'd lose a lot more fans than he already had if he didn't.

what he endured(at his own hands) would have crushed many,many "ordinary" men. the pressure brought to bear by his sponsors,especially those he lost, is beyond what most could comprehend. His Elitist status was placed upon him at a very young age by his father, molded over a very long time. That was very hard armour to wear down, most don't have that time -encrusted advantage. He's a lucky man, that he didn't end up on the wrong end of criminal activity doing what he was doing.But he's human and his Delila cut his hair..we all know how that ended. I admire his tenacity on the course.. I love his now dealing with age/health issues while trying to maintain the same level of play...very hard to do, yet hes' trying. Tiger was good for golf,still is, but now many who wore rose-colored glasses will get the REAL picture of how human he really is.

I would after watching his interview after the 3rd round. He has seemed petulant at times. Definitely a different vibe. Seemed pleased at his position and game. I was hoping for a little more confident tone he could play from behind, but he seemed more realistic/humble. I thought there was a feeling of gratitude too. Nice change of pace. Definitely agree with you WilsonEdgeMan. It is good to see the change. BTW, love the avatar. 10th Mtn vet myself. Many friends in the 25th.

Thanks for your service,my friend..and IIRC, Tiger trained w/ the 82nd  for 2 weeks back a few years?? that wasn't exactly summer camp...all that helpsto develope a strong mind.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
