An interesting article with much speculation. The mystery may never be solved.

I said the same

Get rid of that nike method putter

13 majors with one putter

Why on earth would you even consider changing?

Surely its not $$$$

I thought this comment from Hank was a bit of a stretch.
"I thought, 'Wow. Here is Tiger Woods, the greatest athlete on the planet, maybe the greatest athlete ever, right in the middle of his prime, basically ready to leave it all behind for a military life.'"

He is/was bloody good, but the best athlete is a bit rich

Dave, there's nothing wrong with that putter. His Method putters are very, very customised.

Great article, and the reason i don't think he'll ever beat the Nicklaus record.

I thought this was the best quote in the article as well :


His golf swing looks silky again, but right now, Woods is as far from his old putting self as Chaz Bono is from his old driver's license picture.

The article is nothing special, and in parts is quite poorly researched:

"When you think about it, Tiger hasn't been golf's Mozart since his dad died in 2006."

Tigers father died in May 2006. In the majors that followed he went:

But the fact still remains that hardly any of the players on Tour are really scared of him anymore.

He's more beatable now than he's ever been

Edwin Moses might have a thing to say about the greatest athlete ever. Jeez people make up some crap.

Dave, there's nothing wrong with that putter. His Method putters are very, very customised. Im sure thats trueBut ..13 majors with one brandHe's trying different grips each week (as in grip on putter) He's tried different styles in the nike range including heal shafted modelWhy wouldn't you grab the scotty C and say "hey mate lets have a putt"Its mind boggling he hasn't at least tried one of his old scotties

Tiger gets testy with reporter (http://www.foxsports.com.au/golf/tiger-woods-reacts-angrily-to-questioning-about-claims-made-by-former-coach-hank-haney-in-his-book/story-e6frf3oc-1226286348538) after round 1 of the Honda Classic.

He was already tinkering with the Method, and dropping the Cameron, BEFORE the "Fire Hydrant"

Thats pretty ordinary considering he hit all those greens?
Looks like a Nike putter?

he putterd better in the second round but at one under for the tournament I doubt he can win unless he shoots 63 tonight
