Don't forget that Tiger used a steel shafted driver longer than anyone. Here's a picture of his driver in 1997.



We can talk all day about how Tiger over powered courses and won because of that but on fast Bermuda greens Tiger has a strokes gained advantage with chipping and putting that could carry him if he played with hickories.

He has sustained relevance because of his short game. It was interesting to see him flubbing chips last year. I thought he was so good chipping and putting that he could never "lose" that.

I always thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if you played with Tiger and switched after your approach (after tee shot on a 3, after a second on a 4, and after a third on a 5). As long as you aren't one that flails into the trees or hazards, you'd find he'd break 70 playing yours in and most would be about 72-75 playing in his shots. It would prove that the distance argument is not valid for most courses and you could break par if you had a better short game.

 

Although to be fair he is number 1 in stokes gained on approach shots into the greens this year. Couple that with a great short game like you mention and it's not surprising that he's had an amazing year considering where he was a year ago.

Dragging someones personal life through the dirt is not something we want to see in an open forum.

 

He was number 1 in his sport and a huge public figure.  When you get to that point, your life in many ways IS an open forum.  Discussing it without too much rancor should be allowed, at least imo.

The way tiger is swinging the club with a second and fifth in majors this year, he will win multiole majors in the next few years

He’s the best

And it’s my understanding he cleaned up his act off the course so I’m fine with that. Done and thing off the past

Looking at the way he played late on in the morning fourball's today in the Ryder Cup, I think it might be Tiger's back...... is giving him some jip.

I think he's hurt again and either won't admit it, or he's told Furyk to keep it under wraps.

I think that shot he flailed at in the rough did it. He looked great for the first few holes but fell way off.

Amazing how his ryder cup record is so poor, he'll be desperate for a win in the singles just to get some form of redemption, he always struck me as a lone wolf anyway.

A telling comment by one of the SKY team today that Woods rarely talks to his playing partner. Nor his caddy for that matter.
