    Needs to be given a sponsors invite to a PGA Tour event this year, possibly the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
    I think as it currently stands he may make The Presidents Cup team on points too. That’d be freaking awesome!

    His downswing has a bit of leg action but his impact position is text book.

    Forget the photos and videos.

    He's playing the Singapore Open, on my TV right now, so we can watch him live.

    He's even leading after 5 holes, so we can guarantee he'll get a lot of TV time.

    The quite typical American comments to this tweet made me laugh.

    I'm not sure how the world's golf coaches would feel.

    Choi's swing would be almost impossible to imitate, let alone repeat consistently, so anyone who presented at their local pro with a 'teach me to swing like him' plea would make the golf coach rich in the short term, if they stuck at it. But I don't think there would be too much demand for the Choi Method.

    I think the world's golf chiropractors would be ordering another new house though. I'm not sure how our man Ho Sung has got to 45 years old with that action without damaging his back. Anyone else trying it would be asking for a back injury.

    Good luck to him though. If I were an Aussie Golf Tour promoter I'd be signing him up. Plenty of punters wouldn't be able to resist seeing him in the flesh.

    And he is still moving more needles than that washed up, 3x major winner, that used to be a big deal around here.

    The fact his feet aren’t planted takes the majority of the stress off his back. I know that move from experience.

    I didn’t explain my point properly, not meaning they would try copy it, more that, body parts are moving they try to encourage us not to move during a swing... he’s more a max walker than a text book Dennis Lillee action

    Exactly and he is getting full rotation, with no stress on the lower back. There is an element of Player's walk though move in what he does.
