Mmm, you do have to wonder. Is he coming back too quickly? Or is it an inherent weakness?

It's a worry for sure. He was so bullish about the new fitness levels and didn't seem to hinder him last week and that was more technical issues. I wonder if it had something to do with the fog delay and perhaps not stretching properly (unlikely I know). If it is still a back issue then long term it has to have an effect

I said on twitter last week there is no way he can swing like that without injuring himself. He only played a couple before showing signs.

He can't hit the same length a lot of the players do and trying to do it is going to ruin his knee and back
Needs to just get it in play forget distance and go back to how he used to chip and he will contend

Yes, without doubt, due to a whole host of things.
He may win the odd tour event in the next couple of years, if he lasts that long.

That latest tee shot had him reaching for the back again. Will he even make it al the way round. He's chopping again and inevitably will miss the cut (on this form). I don't understand why he feels the need to be absolutely bombing it as he's said in recent interviews when clearly the body is already badly beaten up. Surely it's about keeping it in play and using a short game and hot putter to stay competitive. There are others who aren't in the long distance rankings who seem to make it work

Only when he hits a bad shot , otherwise the back is fine , chipping better , no chilli dips yet.

Apart from the thin on the first he's looked a bit more solid. It's definitely an issue as he's struggling to get the ball out of the hole or pick a tee up

He played the 10 early and now he has driven high and on there again , oh let me know if you fancy Parkstone this year ........back to Tiger , how can a guy with 14 majors drive it so bad

Perhaps he needs a ball retriever on the end of his putter just like mine. :smirk:

saw a video of him chipping surrounded by his coach,trainer caddy and a sports psychologist,seems he has the yips and struggling,it must be hard for him to come to terms with probably never being as good again,like a football player who is playing badly and gets substituted,they all walk off with a limp,is his injuries just an excuse for him now.

Amazing how many times today he hits a shot and then his head goes down right away. Must be amazingly demoralising to have been the dominant golfer on the planet and hit the sort of slump he's currently in. Hope he works it out but it doesn't look good at the moment. Early days though!

It's only on the long clubs that he's having the problems with the back but it's affecting the rest of his game once he has twisted it wrong with the driver a couple of times.
Maybe time to bite the bullet and go back to Butch who is about the only one who could find a swing that will not destroy his back almost every time he hits a long one off the tee.
Great sportsmanship from Horschel to pick Tigers ball out the cup and pick up his tees at times. I take my hat off to him.
