Barring catastrophe, Tiger Wodds shall be hailed the best golfer of all time. Your opinion is noted, but it has been weighed and found wanting, Mr. McDonald.

by Aaron
Well...I guess Tiger proved this guy WRONG now.
So how many more PGA tours does he have to catch the legend?? Not very many....and Tiger shortened the number drastically just in the last year.
GO TIGER!

I love reading old articles from people whose knowledge of golf is limited to long driving contests...
Does this writer still even have a job?
Or has quit from shame?

by Dave
That makes me sick that someone could be ignorant enough to bash one of the best athletes of all time. I have so much respect for Tiger Woods and i know he'll be number 1 again before the end of the 2005 season. Giver' Tiger, Get'er done!

by Peter Kostis
McDonald is such a boob.
Tiger is God! He is making his comeback now!

Years ago, Johnny Miller's decline and fall from championship form was said to have begun when he very consciously muscled up one winter by chopping wood like an olympian. Did that story have any merit? Then there's the case of Keith Clearwater, whose bodybuilding supposedly took him off the top of golf's leaderboards, too. And surely there are many other great or near-great golfers whose games have been changed for the worse when with good intentions but unwisely they increased their muscle mass overmuch, most of whose names we'll never know because they became musclebound, not better golfers. Maybe you need to make that message more explicit to balance out the claims of physical fitness gurus.

This is what you call poor journalism. Obviously, this writer does not play golf...even if he did, not to a competitive level. To be on top of your game day in day out is a tremendous feat and to say he's on a slump is crazy. This article justifies why this guy is writing the article and not playing competitive golf.

This has to be most moronic thing I've ever read. He's 6'2" inches tall and now weighs 180lbs and probably has body fat close to 10% or less. Maybe Tiger should not work out and turn into a lazy lard like most of the american population. He's not playing his best and is still always at the top of the leader board. Weight doesn't go on overnight and I'm pretty sure he's adapted well. Three years ago I was 154lbs at 6'2" and now I'm 183lbs after working out and my swing still feels the same except I gained yardage. Anyone who workouts properly will have constant stretching in their workout.

The author is obviously a lazy hack. Terrible reporting IMO.

by Kiley Miller
That was perhaps the least scientific, most absurdly superficial pseudo-analysis I've ever read. It seems more likely this was one writer's attempt to justify his own unwillingness to lift anything heavier than a hogey and a tall boy.

Bulking up is not Tigers problem. If you look at old videos of Tiger when he was working with Butch. Tigers back swing position was low and in control. Now, his back swing is more upright and out of his power position. Which translates into lack of control. He is unaware of where his hands are, which means he is releasing his right hand from different positions. The result being, conplex angles at point of contact resulting in a closed club face or an open face. His right hand doesn't square up to the ball consistanly. NO brainer for a trained athlete.

by Jim Bob
Definitely agree with this analysis. Other than attracting babes, why would the world's best player bulk up - to win a longest drive contest? The world's longest drivers can't play on the PGA tour - they can't possible have any feel and they've traded off flexibility for brute strength.

I remember some of the oldtimers cautioning about building the chest muscles.Trevino was against doing pushups.As a trainer I agree.What should be done is stretching to maintain your current range of moition.As we age we all lose flexibility. allso cardio has never hurt anyone .But don!t overdo it.Too much cardio will zap your overall strength
