Vintage Tiger vs. New Tiger

[dlygrisse]

Not being able to practice and prepare because of back with fused vertebrae, might have something to do with it?  ? The fact that he can even play golf at all at a world class level is astounding.  His swing looks really good, I like the mechanics of it better than almost any swing he has tried, he just doesn’t have the physical tools to dial it in for 72 holes very often, or the pure speed he once had.

If CW pursues competitive golf, it will be vastly different that TWs experience with Earl. Just different all around.

 

But, he may just catch a flame to his inner drive find a total passion the way TW did to relentlessly pursue his best.

 

I wonder if TW taught CW the game from “the green back” the way EW taught TW?

 

Elin clearly has some genes, she’s probably like 5’10  or something herself.

 

Lol, be crazy to see TWs kid out there on tour one day.

I’m looking forward to seeing TW and CW in the father and son tourney someday.

Jack Nicklaus quote from 2001:  "Only two things can stop Tiger — injury or a bad marriage."

Vintage Tiger's short game was other-worldly.  It seemed like every chip, pitch would be close had a chance of going in and every putt within 10-15 feet was automatic.

Nothing beats vintage Tiger. Today without the gallery’s he just doesn’t have the fire you would like to see. I remember him at Olympic Club in The US Open and I felt similar. It was almost like he was being so careful, He is doing as much as he can and I love seeing him out there but he’s coming from a different place these days. Happy life.
