I think its because we dont see what they are working on, the only thing we see is the high finishes and block/slice drives, shank chips etc. He has some good rounds but he is Tiger woods. He could get good rounds with a pool stick left handed. If you are the instructor of Tiger and his short game goes to a 20 capper level and your blocking your drives 100 yards right, it comes with the territory. Im glad hes turned his short game around to some extent

yes it is.
i've said my peace about this subject. i shall not post until after the pga championship... no no, no need to thank me just make a donation to your favorite charity.
Been really wondering why some individuals make sure to actively attack Brian and find time to keep on doing it.
What's the beef with these guys, Brian bolting out of TGM?

Tiger NEEDS to rotate his left arm MORE than he did under Foley.
Now....he may overdo it at times...

EVERY TOUR PLAYER is the "captain of the ship" if the money is in the bank.
Sure, I guess my point was similar to what I've made earlier in this thread, how much of Tiger's golf swing is actually based on Chris's ideas? The way he uses his body to maximize GRFs, mechanics through impact to create a 3D flatspot maybe, but the way his arms and clubshaft are working just looks like a return to Hank Haney's swing with a bit of a better grip and not as laid off.
What's the better grip and why is it better?
Left hand isn't as weak as it was under Haney, more neutral in my opinion.

well, well ,well, tiger woods tied for 110th right now.... yeah como is safe no worries there.
there is no way como at this point is telling tiger anything new he must just be repeating himself.
so tiger has to ask himself keep como or let him go? i say let him go get another guy to put the icing on the cake.
does anybody believe tiger couldn't have gotten this far without chris como.
maybe tiger should keep him on as a consultant for real this time. but as a full time coach....forget it.

Tiger is on the right track. We seem to forget the fact that he spends more time with his kids who aren't living with him. Almost all of his co-PGA Tour players, especially the highly ranked practices everyday and go home to their kids. Despite this "handicap" of Tiger, he gets some really good rounds (Quicken Loans). And then there's the new pattern. IMO Foley is really bad. That's SnT with a mix of lots of manipulation to satisfy equipment numbers. That's really bad. That makes you develop bad handsy manipulation habits.
And then there's wear and tear...age and surgeries, mental stress from scandals, divorce, away from young kids, and crabs...Tiger is actually doing pretty good in my book considering all these...

tiger is on the right track. the question is who put him on that track? como? i doubt it. tiger put himself on the right track.como can't help tiger anymore. tiger needs to refine his swing a little more and i think a fresh pair of eyes will do that for him so he can compete next year. you can't honestly believe como 8-9 months into working with tiger is telling tiger something new? lol.
after the pga como is gone.
Foley isn't bad, just didn't work with tiger for some reason. Look at hunter and Justin, some of best swings on tour
Btw saw a iron swing on range in slow mo from pga, it looked spectacular lines wise. Dipped a little much but it was a spot on swing
He's just trying to be too long off the tee which is throwing him off, back surgery older, can't do that. Como is safe for awhile, tiger needs to learn he can't try to smash it 300 plus

say what you want about butch and steve williams - i love neither- but they would get in tiger's face and tell him somethings he may not want to hear. that's what tiger needs.who is filling that void? como?
joe? notay? i think not. brian said no one talks about how much tiger and como get along.... tiger doesn't need a buddy he needs a coach that will get in his face and say dial it down with the drive and see what happens.
como is gone.
