The PGA Confidential boys tackle Tiger's inexplicable meltdown, whose better right now Phil or Woods, and of course, the drug testing.
You have to admit Tiger hasn't looked like Tiger lately. No majors in 2009 is not a huge deal, but the way Yang reeled him in at the PGA, the way he failed to make the big putt at Liberty, the way he backed into the FedEx Cup title, the way he took himself out of contention on the front nine at HSBC — uh, excuse me, my regular Tiger Woods has been replaced by Folgers crystals.
It's all about Tiger hitting fairways with the driver (and not using the 3-wood or 5-wood as a crutch off the tee), getting his swagger back and unleashing the long-ball, which used to be his biggest weapon. Sheathing the driver has taken away his distance edge and worn the sheen off his invincible aura.
The Tour is really doing the public and the golfers a disservice by having a policy in which they do not identify the drug. I can't figure out why they think that's better.
