Maybe Tiger Woods should take the Geoff Ogilvy route of practice
I know this is bordering on a hot take, but try to stay with me here.
Did you see what Geoff Ogilvy wrote the other day about how he found his game again?
Here's a synopsis: He stopped banging on the Trackman and beating balls at the range and started playing more individual matches, for money or otherwise.
"So I began to play more friendly matches -- even for nine holes, and sometimes without a money bet -- that, because of my nature, I still wanted very much to win."
Tiger Woods, on the other hand, said this on Monday:
"I think that's something -- you have to understand your practice sessions, you've got to be able to understand your practice sessions, those practice sessions, will they work on the back nine on a Sunday of a major, either yes or no, and I think that's one thing I've always tried to tell all my coaches, will it work or not work, and if it's not going to work, then we're not going down that road."
Woods is obsessed with practice right now. With the gym, with his swing trajectory, with the range -- all of it.
Far be it from me to tell a 14-time major winner how to prepare himself for big time events, but I think it might be beneficial to Woods for him to just go find a random money game every day from now until next January and work people over.
Granted, he's going to have to find some billionaires to wager with but maybe that would re-awaken the thing within him that made him so spectacular for the first 15 years of his career.
