Next week Tiger Woods is scheduled to drop-out of the Top 10 world golf rankings marking the 1st time he has been out of the Top 10 in more than 14-years. Yikes! I wonder if Tigers is going to be able to turn-around this season and win an event or two. We shall see...

Injuries are unfortunately catching up to him. Also, he is f%@#ing obsessed with tinkering with his swing...he has got to find one swing and stick to it.

I grew up with golf and I learned at early age that 90% of the tinkering the top players do actually counterproductive. As this point I think Tiger would get more benefit from counseling than another swing coach.

I totally agree.
 
Eldrick played much better when he was slimmer...

Maybe his pecs are getting in the way?? :p

I now accept it as fact that lots of top players are juiced in some way or another and am less inclined to scorn those who get caught because the only difference between the ones who get caught and the ones who don't is that some got caught and some didn't.

I recently made a reference here to former major league player Tom House, who says that, throughout the 1970s, he estimates that there were half a dozen or more players on every baseball team who had tried something like growth hormones or steroids, and that reports of the practice went back to the 1960s. Does anyone wonder whether Carl Yastrzemski going from never having hit over 20 homers in one year to hitting 44 was strictly a result of hiring Gene Berdie as his personal trainer for the four month off-season? Does anyone really believe that Tom House's favorite pupil, Nolan Ryan, went back to striking out 300 batters a year when he was in his 40s without being juiced? I remember when Fred Lynn came back from his 4 month off-season in 1980 having allegedly added "20 solid pounds". How could that be?

Look at Phil Mickelson, "then" and "now". Where'd the biceps come from?

At the rate Eldrick is going, a free-fall through the rankings is almost guaranteed.

The two primary factors in determining the rankings are of course, victories, or top x finishes, and number of tournaments played, neither of which he can claim lately...
 
Dump the Swing Coaches, Flush the Supplements and employ the therapeutic pleasures of Candy Samples...and perhaps we'll see Woods return to prime form. After all, inside the blood of every Tiger is a Charlie Sheen waiting to burst out. Winning! :)
 
It had to come with the way he's been playing. Can he get back up is the question and my answer right now has to be no.

Yep....just go back to chasing cocktail waitresses and he will start "hitting 'em straight and long" in no time....lol!

Besides getting beaten with a mashie-niblic by his wife and taking an embarrasing windshield facial in his babemobile, Eldrick is suffering the mental effects of being publically explosed and humiliated. IMO, he is struggling to regain his former public persona. Give it up man! Your "family values" image was all an illusion. The sooner Tiger gets back to beerin', bikin' and baggin' babes the sooner he will be find happiness and, quite possibly, his missing mojo (i.e., golf swing). As far as the physical aspects of the game...Holy Crap, you're a golfer Tiger and not a real athlete. There are plenty of men who win on the tour with bad backs and a host of other ailments. The sooner he stops whining and playing the role of a victim, the sooner he will start winning. 90% of his problems are mental. We shall see how well he fares in the US Open and the Brittish Open.
 
I agree with his muscle mass leading to his downfall. Too much muscle leads to strain on your joints. He's breaking down physically. His natural frame wasn't designed to be that bulky. Tiger screwed the pooch when he hit the weight room. He was a much better golfer when he was thin and lean. He destroyed the competition by 20 something strokes back then! You'll never see that again. Never! The reason for the swing tweaking is to find a comfortable stroke to fit his new body.
