I'd have to be a fool to tell 14-time major winner Tiger Woods how to prepare for a major. Here is what Tiger Woods needs to do before majors.

He needs to play more! 

With his fourth-place finish at the recently completed Masters, Woods has now gone eight consecutive Masters and 11th consecutive majors without a win. 

For any golfer not named Tiger Woods, this stat wouldn't even be worth mentioning. However, with Woods not being able to close the gap on Jack Nicklaus' 18 major titles for almost five years, it's time for him to revisit his game plan heading into golf's showcases. 

Woods' most recent failure to claim a major is the greatest evidence toward assertion. More than any other time since he took his hiatus in 2009, Woods has been on point with his game. 

Entering the Masters, Woods was struggling a bit with his driving accuracy, but the rest of his game was favorably comparable to other times of dominance. Well, we can throw the Tiger Slam era out the window.

Check out his stats from 2000. The guy was on another planet, but I digress.  

Woods has made big strides in his distance control and putting over his recent seasons. In fact, he leads the Tour in strokes gained-putting (h/t PGATour.com).

Given this, it was no surprise that Tiger won the two Tour tournaments he played leading up to the Masters. However, his last tournament came in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which wrapped up on March 25.



This means Tiger took two full weeks off before hitting Augusta.

At the Masters, Tiger was not quite as dialed in with his distance control, and he wasn't putting anywhere near the level when we saw him at Bay Hill, and it's no surprise. 



Given so much time away from competitive play, it's easy to lose a bit off the mental edge it takes to perform at the insanely high level it takes to succeed ...
