Tiger Woods is preparing for the final major with a swing coach at his side. Sean Foley says Woods asked him to look at his swing during Tuesday's practice round at the PGA Championship. On two holes, Foley stood behind and in front of Woods to videotape his swing.

Saving...
Woods does not need a swing coach, he needs a life coach. But at his age, I really doubt if a two faced, lying, self absorbed a-hole like Woods is ever going to change.
He also needs people to stop being "holier than thou" and quit with the judging.
Love him or hate him, golf is an absolute mess without Tiger Woods. Except for the hardcore fans, no one cares about it.
Ratings are down BIG time. If you're a fan of golf then you should be hoping that Tiger comes around. If you want Golf to go the way of Hockey than keep rooting against him...
And Golf is important because of???
Because of the hundreds of millions of fans that care about it...
Good attempt at trolling though. Try to stick with more open-ended questions.
Well, clueless Evan, if there are "hundreds of millions of fans that care about it..." then the game of golf should have no problem carrying on without Woods. Your argument is as shallow and vacuous as your intellect. People like you who are enamored with the world of celebrity are out of touch with reality.
The problem is that the vast majority of the "hundreds of millions of fans" care about Golf because of Tiger Woods. Most of us never really cared about his celebrity. Hell, there are wax sculptures that are more interesting and personable. It's his game that has/had all of us enamored. His performance on the course has a positive correlation with golf's television ratings.
And rather than insulting my argument and my intelligence, why not try to challenge it? Isn't that what smart people (like yourself) do?
So, clueless Evan, by your account, and I'm sure all of the "hundreds of millions of fans who care about Golf because of Tiger Woods" thank you for speaking for them, Golf only exists because of Woods. Are you a professional idiot or do you retain your amateur status?

I agree with Evan- if Tiger isn't playing, I don't watch. I don't know if "hundreds of millions"
do the same thing but I'd bet millions do. You know that other countries can now watch tournaments played in the US so "hundreds of millions" may not be such a wild number
as you'd like to think it is.
JimC,
So who gives a crap whether you or Evan don't want to watch if Loser Woods isn't in the field. Golf will survive without Woods and without idiots like you and Evan.
I don´t know much about golf but it seems that it is 90 percent mental.
john
You're right. You don't know much about golf. If it were 90% mental I
would have won at least 1 tournament by now and there were years where Tiger would have been undefeated.
JimC, lighten up, john makes a valid point. Of course you have to physically be able to hit a golf ball, so athleticism is important, BUT beyond that golf is ALL mental. Maybe your problem is your golf swing; maybe you need to work harder on your physical game to win that tournament that seems to elude you.
I expect Tiger to announce his retirement from golf after missing the cut at the 2011 Masters.
Sad, but the guy just doesn't have it in him anymore.
Where is Bagger Vance when Tiger needs him??
Mr. Foley, if you have any influence over Mr. Woods, please get him to stop with the Greg Norman "hitch-overswing." It's killing him. Work on giving him a trusted, fluid swing. A Couples or Els swing. Nothing outside his limits. Consistency off the tee and his brilliant short game are enough to win him 14 more majors.
There's nothing wrong with this, Tiger knows that he needs help. The road to recovery sometimes requires humility and humbleness.
Now, on the other hand, there are some arrogant actors and singers out there who think they are the greatest creation of God on every planet in our universe and beyond, but they don't add one inch more of muscle inside anyone's armpits.
10 or so years ago Tiger's foul mouth and explosive behavior were enough to get him off the PGA Tour but his incredible ability to make nearly impossible shots kept him around. His attitude and behavior on the course calmed down. His performance convinced him and most others he was invincible. Recent revelations prove he is not. Will he be back on top again - maybe, maybe not. Tiger is, in part responsible for a new wave of young talented players that inspire all who play the game. As for the integrity and character of Tiger he has done damage to the game and himself; the game will survive - but will he?
When will people realize that part of the reason Tiger is having difficulty with his game is that he can no longer get away with participating while on performance enhancing drugs. Urine analysis could not detect Human Growth Hormone until this year. That's what he was on and why he eclipsed his fellow competitors in the past. Just ask his Canadian "phoney" doctor to star athletes like Barry Bonds, etc. and his ex-wife who's getting a bundle from him as long as she keeps her mouth shut! Ellen knows where all these skeletons are buried.
Is he finished, highly unlikely judging on his character.
I think its funny how quickly people right off people. Maybe it’s a reflection on their own mindset.
His personal life has mainly contributed to his poor form of late I reckon. Come the Masters next year I reckon he will be back on track.
As a golf fan I hope he will..
Tiger, the calabanasian! Tiger's made problem is himself. He refused to admit his identity.He identifies with everything else besides who he is. Rememebr those words" I am not Black". EAt them. The Black community are blase about Tiger's' misfortunes. He could have used his talents and his platform to motivate thousands of African American kids. Instead he stuck them with a knofe in their guts " I am not you" . Go OJAy- The juice.
