Has he too much muscle mass these days? Too much muscle while trying to be flexible at the same time?
For a time there he forgot he was human. Big mistake.
Consciousness and awareness - awareness is being aware of what is happening and being aware of what is happening within ourselves while we are conscious. Where did I leave my glasses?
He was a sexbot!
is it really self inflicted though? I think that his fathers mental training as a child has had a significant influence. Not saying he never had a choice but seems like he was trained much like the special forces are, who have enormous difficulties adjusting to civilian life.
He was raised to be the best in the world and even had a sports psychologist as his caddie during junior tournaments. I don't think he has any concept of what "normal" is. Closest analogy I can think of is Michael Jackson. [shudder]
I too believe it's the leg that is the main thing that's causing the problems.
The snowball effect is prevalent in golf and it is definitely evident in tiger's game. Once one thing goes bad, the pressure mounts on the other areas and soon they too will crumble.
If he comes back healthy and starts striking the ball well again, you can be pretty sure that his putting will return as well.
he is getting old. with age comes fear. all of a sudden he is human.
Pffft
I've said this before, he needs to explore the true depths of adversity before he can truly be called great. Nicklaus went through it in his late 30s with his failed businesses and money problems.
You can definitely call him great already with what he has accomplished.
It's the whole 'wondering in the wilderness' thing. Develop perspective of where one fits in the whole scheme of things and then you get cream.
So his legs hurts - he fixes it, he gets caught rooting, loses his wife and kids. he then get some bloody stupid media advice and acts like a total dick in front of the world... the backlash starts and the media start treating him like crap as opposed to a god. The "reverence" in no longer there...
The body is not responding to the endless hours of training like it use to... he has had the change his swing pattern and in typical Tiger style changes everything from Tee to Green. He has been at it a few months or so and the swing is such a major change he can't quite get it... family issues mean he cannot practice like he use to and the knee is acting up again.
These are not mental issues, sure it is about mental toughness - but this is just a pile of shit stacking up on your doorstep that you have to deal with in order and as it comes. It has only been 18 months . . FFS
If it was me - you would have found me crying in a corner, rocking gently backwards and forwards mumbling to myself.
He just needs some time to get all his shit in one sock, and then "maybe" re-focus on golf . . . as he has said a thousand times... golf really aint that important when the rest of your life in a mess. He is still doing a stack of stuff for his brands, not to mention the TW foundation that he seems to open one every other month.
I personally don't give a shit about his family life, who he slept with, and how he has screwed up his life over the last couple of years. People are use to him winning 7-8 events a year and that cannot happen when you don't have the support team to keep you going. You are going to get hot and cold streaks just like everyone else.
I am in absolute awe of the guy, what he has done for golf, his TW foundations and other charity work, for sport in general and for the entertainment value he has brought to the game of golf which is a bloody boring game without a personality like him. All this bullshit about not being mentally strong enough to win anymore is a bunch of mindless dribble by people who cannot see past the weekend.
My 2 cents.
I barely watch any professional golf, so I'm not really qualified to comment here, but does he really bring personality to the game? That's not really something I associate with Tiger. I thought he spent most of the time being intensely focused, and he only comes out of the bubble for fist-pumping celebration (which doesn't count as personality for me) or grumpy tantrums.
That said, I've read a couple of accounts from Aussie pros that he's a lot of fun, so maybe I'm just missing it because I'm not taking notice.
Still not playing enough GolfLink | Slightly less terrible stats brought to you by Golfshot - F: 57%, GIR: 23%, UD: 14%, P: 34. Wow, improvement! | Nickent brand ho or tightarse? You be the judge!
