Swing Change Should Be Tiger Woods’ Next Step After Parting Ways with Sean Foley

Now that he has dropped swing coach Sean Foley, Tiger Woods will need more than an ice pack to invigorate his bruised and battered game.

Can Tiger make the changes that will get him off of his injury-laden merry-go-round to nowhere?

Over the next few months, Tiger must take a long, hard look at remaking himself to regain the confidence, flexibility and consistency that made him golf’s most feared competitor and greatest star.  

This is no easy task for someone whose body, and maybe even his spirit, has been so damaged over time. Just considering the long list of Tiger’s injuries is enough to make one’s body ache.  

Forget about getting his 15th major in hopes of beating Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 career major titles. He may have trouble getting back to making cuts again.

When it comes to changing his swing or his coaches, he truly is like an uneasy Tiger, always moving, always on the lookout for something new.

Foley was the third coach in his vaunted career.  He began working with Butch Harmon as a teenager, and they won eight majors together.  Harmon changed Tiger’s swing twice during his tenure, which ended in 2003.  The biggest change came after Tiger won the Masters by 12 strokes.



Tiger altered his swing again with Hank Haney and won four majors and a total of 18 tournaments until their partnership ended in 2008 after he won the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.

He hired Foley in 2010 for the PGA Championship.  During their time together, Tiger suffered a variety of injuries but was still able to win three times in 2012 and five times in 2013.  Yet he was unable to secure a major title with Foley.

Who will be his next coach?  Your guess is as good as any although there are already odds being placed on the idea. 

For someone so great...
