I'm used to Tiger being a complete asshole, but this blowup at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational woke me up to exactly how unhappy he was. I read an article earlier this month about one of Sean Foley's former students who implored Tiger to leave his coach "on the range." Paul Azinger said that he never had a two-way miss off the tee for more than a day. Right-handed players should be able to eliminate the left side off the tee. I really can't believe Tiger was able to score as well as he did spraying the ball all over the lot this year.
The question is who Tiger will turn to next. Hopefully he can find a coach that can take some of the torque off his back. Tiger would never swallow his pride and ask Butch Harmon to coach him up again. On that same token, I'm not sure Butch would take him back with his current stable of young stars. Butch's lineage of golfers includes Fred Couples, Greg Norman, Ernie Els, Phil Michelson, Stewart Cink, Nick Watney, Gary Woodland, Dustin Johnson, Jimmy Walker, Rickie Fowler, and of course Tiger Woods from 1993-2003. My guess is we've never heard of his next swing coach. And drunken punter Pat McAfee with a topical celebration last night.
