Grant is an interesting choice. I know he works with Joseph Mayo in teaching; does Mayo come with Waite? Would be an interesting bit of work to see those guys work with Tiger.

As Mike said, they've basically gone their separate ways, with each having a group of regular PGA Tour players.

I've been seeing and hearing some chatter about Chuck Cook, too. What is he like, in terms of instructor quality?

I'll just say: "He's coached a lot of PGA Tour players."

Is Patrick57 available?

[Mr. Desmond]

Well, if Grant worked with Tiger, and Mayo came as part of the package, I bet that Tiger would beat Joe with his 9i to shut him up.

But they split up some time ago.

He only said it once, there's no harm in that.  If he says it three times, though ... I think that's when we have to worry. ;)

It be fun watching Tiger attempt the Wie putting set-up.

Ouch.  Just the thought makes MY back hurt.

I'd like to see him pick somebody not on the media radar. GW sounds like a good choice, but it would be more interesting to see the whole golf world react, who? I don't have anyone in mind, it's just to antagonize the preconception that anyone good is in the media radar. The press though they all act all like they're experts, is just that. For the most part, an act.

Erik, might be off topic, but could you explain the difference of being a (good) coach for Joe (the HackerStacker) of the tour pro? I mean, you might well be a greaat coach for the weekend golfer, but not for the pro. Do you need extra/other qualifications? In technical terms? Would there be a difference between a tour coach or a non tour coach.

If I may throw in my two cents, a good teacher is a good teacher, but someone who teaches pros and the like, I would guess that the psychologist part is much more for the pros.

My cents also.

I heard Azinger will step up to be Tiger's swing coach maybe then he can teach Tiger the 3 principles of the swing.

[Bob Grissett]

Tiger had a better year in 2013 then Rocco had a career....and Rocco hits it short

[Bob Grissett]

I would love to see Tiger work with Grant Waite

[Phil McGleno]

Of course you would because then all of you SnT clowns could try to take even more credit for it.-Just like you do for anyone regardless of who they work for What they Teach or WHo they learned under.[quote name="Bob Grissett" url="/t/76778/tiger-fires-sean-foley/162#post_1049821"]I would love to see Tiger work with Grant Waite [/quote] Oh look- Another Tour player with a stick ageainst his head! PARADIGM SHIFT!-Please child. Edit: [CONTENTEMBED=/t/65681/s-t-2-0-dvds-and-pressure-weight-forward-an-examination layout=inline]​[/CONTENTEMBED]-At least Sean and Grant know thats a joke.

I think the coaching is unnecessary. If he can't play by now, he never will. How many coaches does Bubba have? How many coaches did Sam have when he fashioned clubs from tree limbs anf developed his swing from there?

The game has moved on from the times of Sam Snead.

Bubba has coaches. Heck, one of them is the topic of the top story on the blog: http://thesandtrap.com/b/throwing_darts/talking_to_bubba_watsons_coach_andrew_fischer_of_fishfit .

Also while they may not have had "coaches", players would regularly ask other players to watch their swings and give advice.
