Then he went out and changed his swing again. Not to say that the last 5 years have been terrible or even mediocre for Tiger, but he hasn't had a stretch that has come close to equalling his fall 99-spring 2001 performance.

orly?

Op, I see your point to some degree. But golf isn't something that you can just master. Of course if Tiger could play like he did at the 2000 U.S. Open every single week for the rest of his life, he wouldn't change a thing. He would still be using a 43.5 inch steel shafted driver and would still be working with Butch Harmon.

But things change in golf, and they change fast.

Maybe one bad session on the range turned into two. Then three. It happens to everybody, even the worlds best.

Of course it's easy to look back and say, "well why doesn't he just do what he did during that stretch and he'd win every tounament by a mile."

It's simply not possible.

Look at the long run though...his overall win percentage is [censored] crazy. He will have hot streaks and cold streaks. During those cold streaks he will tinker around a bit just like the rest of us.
