Tiger Woods: The Swing Behind The Comeback

The long road back to Major Championship glory for Tiger Woods began with a great game plan.  When you take a closer look at Tiger’s most recent swing, you will notice that it is most similar to the swing that also helped him to win his last Major Championship in 2008.  Although he is now older, and dealing with a fused back, the similarities in setup, rhythm and swing plane are very noticeable.  Hank Haney, who is one of my mentors, and swing coach to Tiger from 2004-2010, always preached the importance of having a clear and detailed plan for your swing.  Stating that when you have a plan for your swing, if you begin to struggle, all you have to do is “retrace your steps” to find success again.  It is clear that in many ways Tiger Woods has retraced his steps, putting him right back on top of the world of golf.
