Tiger in the Woods


Tiger Woods withdrew yesterday from the Player's championship (here) after a first nine 42, the result of re-injuring his left knee. The video above is an analysis of the swing problems that are putting pressure on his knee. The analysis is from the Somax Performance Institute, the same people that analyzed Arnold Palmer's swing in a recent post (here).

In the video above, Palmer's swing is also compared favorably to Woods. The key problem for Tiger is that his spine angle gets more acute in the hitting area compared to address. The result is stress on the left knee and wild shots (Tiger in the Woods).

Tiger could get a Day at Somax for $2100. (chump change in his world). I would love to see him get his game back together!

  1. Azinger said on Rome's show today that 50% of Tiger's problems are mental,looks like he has plenty of physical ones too. I worry about this too, just how many 300 yard drives do I have left? GR

  2. Tiger has played only six events this year. My iPhone pgatour app doesn't even list his season stats--not looking good for this year!
