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.

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.

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.

    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
