Tiger Woods: Vanished Killer Instinct Is Caging Tiger

Tiger Woods has been "LeBronized".



The superstar athlete with the once-legendary killer instinct no longer exists.  The drama Woods put himself through has transformed him into a mere mortal and it’s showing on the golf course.

He barely made the cut in the 2012 Honda Classic.  When staying alive is replacing holding on to first place as Tiger’s No. 1 goal, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to notice that he definitely isn’t the same competitor that won 14 majors.  It feels like a decade since fans kept a straight face while asking before every tournament: “Tiger or the field?”

According to PRWEB, Golf Psychologist Dr. Patrick Cohn explained Woods’ mindset change saying that:

“He was Number one in the world for several years and is clawing his way back to the top.  Everyone expects him to be great all the time and win.  He’s also had many changes in his life and golf game, including changes in instructors, caddies, and injuries that sidelined him.  All of the changes have added up to a hint of doubt, just at the wrong time, when he needs to be the most focused.”

And doubt destroys an athlete’s confidence. 

Being ranked as the 21st best golfer in the world heading into the weekend, Wood's mind must be plagued with doubt after being the undisputed frontrunner for so long.  Being tied for 31st after two days at the Honda Classic won’t help either.  And making the cut by the skin of his teeth is the cherry on top of Wood’s doubt sundae.

Wood's only hope of regaining that ultimate swagger, he once possessed, is to build his fallen confidence back up.  The lone way to do that is to win.  And that’s Woods’ dilemma; it’ll be nearly impossible to find that lost poise because the key to his success is unobtainable without the success ...
