Tiger Woods seems to be off to a rather quiet start to this year.

Unfortunately, not all of his rounds at the Farmers Insurance Open were featured on television, but what has been shown has some positives, but proves he still has some work to do.

 

Driving:

The distance is not an issue. It never has been. Never will be. 

However, the statistics for driving accuracy seems to be an issue for Tiger. He only hit 36 percent of fairways in the first round, and this appeared to be his biggest handicap as he plays.

I think part of his problem is compensation.

On his 18th hole, the par-five ninth, Woods closed his face a little to amp up the power, and the ball went through the fairway. Either he closed the face too much, or he didn't compensate for it—that hole it was probably a combination of the two.

This is definitely something Tiger will work on tomorrow.

 

Iron Play:

Today, Tiger struck the ball beautifully.

I think that despite the fact it is early on in his swing transformation, that it is not too early to say Tiger's ball-striking has improved 200 percent.

With the driving accuracy he posted, he still managed to hit 14 greens in regulation.

Tiger birdied two of the par-threes, one thanks to a relatively brilliant putt, but the other was just a brilliant swing to put it to three feet.

Overall, his iron play was the biggest plus of the day. The only thing he said he wants to do better is ball-positioning.

 

Swing: 

Tiger Woods certainly put the work in to change his golf swing—there is no question that he wanted no lag time for his swing change, as he had with Hank Haney. 

Tiger's swing just has a wonderful tempo to it now, even with the driver.

Although his driving didn't exactly produce the results, it is not...
