Doesn't that graphic kinda contradict the title of the article? I guess it wouldn't work if the URL was: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/tigerwoods/11011019/Tiger-Woods-must-change-his-swing-and-take-pressure-off-his-back-plus-both-achilles-his-left-knee-his-left-calf-his-left-tibia-his-neck-his-left-elbow-and-oh-he-had-LASIK-eye-surgery-twice-so-make-sure-his-swing-doesn't-affect-that-if-he-is-to-save-career-claims-Sir-Nick-Faldo.html :-D

Don't see any contradictions. Tiger's swing is causing him medical issue, and the graphic illustrates his body is falling apart and that he needs to avoid further medical issues at all cost.

As a side note, what a pointed money line from Chamblee this is ...

“Woods reminds me of an ageing Hollywood actor who has had too much plastic surgery,” the Golf Channel analyst said.

Yikes!

Is it his current swing causing issues now, or simply old injuries coming back? That he gets hurt while playing golf doesn't mean it's because of a bad swing and that he would've avoided it with a different one.

We forget that Tiger has beens swinging from the age of three or even earlier?? small wonder he is having problems Check out roofers back or welders eyesight His father had him full time swinging long before his frame was fully developed and he has done brilliantly to get this far without serious long term damage

Ha ha. They just wanted an excuse to post the graphic.

I wonder how the graphic would look for JN, AP or GP. Player was in good shape though, I would think he had the least number of injuries.

    • Yeah I’ve tried it but I don’t feel very comfortable doing it like that. Isn’t there like a website where I can do it so it’s safer??  
    • Day 200 3-4 Wider back swing, arms up a bit higher, and added in some flow work to start getting a since of a full swing. Still focusing on arching wrist through downswing. 
    • It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
    • Let's kick off the 2026 Masters talk with… a look back at 2025 (coming soon):
    • Wow, so Europe named Luke for a third term. Luke Donald named 2027 European Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald named 2027 European Ryder Cup Captain Who will the U.S. name? I hope not Tiger Woods.
