Not many people know this, but when Tiger had been on Tour for two or three years, his people called and asked if I would give him lessons on short irons," Miller said. "Jack Nicklaus told him I was the best short iron play ever—a pretty great compliment."

Miller said he declined to offer because of his NBC announcing work and his desire to spend time with his children and grandchildren.

"I was tired," Miller said. "I didn't think I could give him the time he'd need, so I turned him down, which I don't think many people have done."

And now?

"He's the guy I'd like to help most," Miller said. "I've been watching him since he was in junior golf. I know all the swings he's had. I think I could help him get back to his natural swing, not the swing someone else wants him to make. I'm open to helping him."

I think Johnny would have done great.

Many of you may or not know the story of when I "interviewed" for the job with Mr. Earl when Tiger was 15.
