Tiger Woods: Swing Evolution in 2012


Last Sunday, Tiger Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational for his first PGA Tour win since 2009. On the Gotham Golf Blog, Dana Dahlquist does an analysis (above) of how Tiger's swing has been evolving over time. What is interesting about the analysis is the importance of Tiger's standup move which is very similar to the Stack & Tilt standup (see my prior post here).

What was also of interest to me was the Friday round (here) where Tiger and Charlie Wi shared the tournament lead. They both are using left-centered golf swings (more weight on the left foot for right-handed players). Charlie finished T29 with two poor final rounds (76 and 78) after two good initial rounds (66 and 68). Both Tiger and Charlie are worth watching since they are challenging the conventional wisdom of golf instruction and playing quite well right now.
