He moves like The Tin Man.

It's over, Johnny.

I'm waiting for the retirement speech any day. How many more injuries/WD's will he endure, better yet, when will he throw in the towel and surrender to his own standard of acceptable results? Soon I say.

I see the opposite. Too much pride and ego for him to pull a Roberto Duran, especially before the age of 40. He needs to remake his upper body. That build is not conducive to making the type of golf swing he needs to make a sustained run and play into his mid-late 40's.

Truthfully, Jerry? I could coach him to another 5-6 majors (that would pad my resume' just a touch), but in the grand scheme of things, nothing any new coach would tell him will get him over his mental hurdle right now. His swing is not the issue. He is struggling with the longest 50 yards in golf, from the practice tee to the first tee. The strongest mental player the game has ever seen, is simply mind f*cking himself.

I guess so, the past few years the wheels have fallen off during the week whereas in the past that is when he took over. Like that Masters last year that would validate that he would be back, then that whole situation on the 15th he never rebounded from that.

Man..............as an unabashed TW fan this is tough to watch. He has no clue where the ball is going.....Get rid of this voodoo (Sean Foley) swing coach he has and either go back to Butch Harmon or call it a career....
Left ? Right misses off the tee...and fat irons to boot....seems like every shot is forced.

He's a mess upstairs.....
