Golf Channel's Brandel Chamblee weighed in with his thoughts on Tiger's evolution from Butch Harmon to Hank Haney to Sean Foley, and now to Chris Como:

http://www.golfchannel.com/news/brandel-chamblee/como-right-fit-woods/

Pretty insightful observations on how Harmon, Haney and Foley differed in their approaches, and how Como's understanding of biomechanics could produce a more natural, athletic swing that Tiger once had and provide real benefits given Tiger's physical limitations with his knee and back.

Cliff Notes: Chamblee believes Butch as a teacher is one of the best ever, that Haney deserves more credit for giving Tiger a "one-way miss;" and is not impressed with Foley's method at all.

Money quote on Foley: "And the ideological conceit of geometric precision is where Tour players' games go to die."

It's an interesting read if you are into the ways the golf swing is taught today.

What is not being addressed is how much Tiger has lost in his short game. Swing coach , schmingh coach.But Tiger doesn't make all the putts anymore.
Let's not forget , this cat {no pun intended} won 5 tournaments in 2013. So I think it's more a matter of health and short game than swing coach.

Foley's swing was making Tiger's chipping worse. He was getting the handle so far in front on his full swing and that move transferred to his chipping. With the handle so far forward, he was not using the bounce as much on chips and did not release the club as much. GC showed many examples of this the other day.

In my opinion he's barely tolerable. He could be decent, maybe good, if he'd stop running off at the mouth. Say it with 70% fewer words and he's probably good to go. Less is more, especially when you've got just one tour win on your resume.
