I wonder if retiring will have that much effect on his endorsements.  Arnie has been retired forever and still ends up pretty high on the endorsement list.  Of course that was a different world back then.

Arnie stayed very involved with golf, I'm not sure if Tiger plans to.

Not sure that matters.  Tiger, like Arnie, will always be an attractive spokesman but the products he pitches will evolve based on his playing status, age, etc.

 I don't think he'll be marketing Depends anytime soon but he will remain a viable representative for lots of companies which will keep him up on the list as long as he wants to be, possibly the rest of his life, regardless his affiliation with golf.

It's a great sign seeing him swing the clubs.

I don't know if I believe that. The person in the video could be a stunt double.

he would probably prefer to play on tour if he could imitate woods swing to that point. it's so recognizable.

for me that is totally him. could be a video trick set up. but that's still woods with that club and those swing characteristics.

So, what do we think of Tiger's swing in this video?

Not bad at all, for a lay off like that. I think it'll get smoother when the rust gets knocked off.

This is a bit like getting very excited about seeing Nigel Mansell driving a Renault hatchback around an Asda carpark in Solihull. Today Asda; next year...back on the podium at Silverstone.

Seriously, look at those twigs. No wonder Tiger was jealous…

It seems Chamblee is back to his trollish attitude. 

Quote

"I can say that looks like an injured and a put-back-together 40-year-old man," Chamblee said. "He has a very short, quick golf swing. He doesn’t look like he’s ready for tournament play."

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm inclined to agree with Chamblee to a degree. He needs to take it really slow, don't come back too quickly. I would be fine if he took the next 6 months off, even the season if it means he'll be as healthy as he can be for the long term.

Short, quick golf swing? He was swinging a nine iron!

Chamblee is like a heroin addict with regards to commenting on Tiger's swing. He has to do it. But for addicts, it is a medical condition. Chamblee doesn't have that excuse.

Not to be blunt, but no shit he's not ready for tournament play. That's why he's not playing in tournaments.

A week ago we didn't think Tiger would get off the couch, now we've got Brandel criticizing him for not being ready to play in tournaments. Talk about moving the goalposts.
