When Tiger Woods will make his long-awaited return to official PGA Tour action in the United States remains a closely guarded secret, but we now know at least one key aspect of that return. Just before Christmas, Woods, who turns 42 on December 30, announced via Twitter that he would no longer be working with the man who has been his swing coach since November 2015, Chris Como.
The former world number one wrote: “Since my last surgery I have been working hard to relearn my own body and golf swing. I have done this relying mainly on my feel and previous years of hard work with Chris. For now I think it is best for me to continue to do this on my own. I thank Chris Como for his previous work, and have nothing but respect for him.”
Woods had three other coaches on the PGA Tour. He won eight of his 14 majors with Butch Harmon between 1996 and 2003, and six more with Hank Haney over the next six years. He then spent four years with Sean Foley, until 2014. His last world victory was at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in 2013, before health (and other) problems halted his progress.
