"This guy will try to get Tiger a putting coach, a statistician, a green reading guy, etc. It’s his worse choice ever."

Hank Gola filed for the New York Daily News on Tiger's announcement of a new swing "consultant" in Chris Como.

He tracked down a trusted tour caddie for thoughts on Como, who previously has worked with Aaron Baddeley. The review was not flattering.

But according to a veteran caddie familiar with Como’s teaching methods, Woods, who many feel got too technical and complicated under Foley, is headed down a similar path with Como.

Como, said the caddie, is “way worse than Foley, way too technical. This guy will try to get Tiger a putting coach, a statistician, a green reading guy, etc. It’s his worse choice ever. He can turn a guy from an athlete into a golf geek.”

I'm not sure if that's a fair assessment of either teacher, as Foley could talk a highly technical game but when looking at a student on Trackman and offering feedback, his instructions are shockingly basic.

James Corrigan noted that so little was known of Como, the world crashed his website...on a Saturday.

Como is relatively unknown within the trade as shown by the fact that when Woods announced on Twitter that “Chris will consult and work with me during the year”, the rush to discover more about the 36-year-old from Texas caused his personal website to crash.

Tiger Breaks Away From Ryder Cup Task Force To Hit Balls Again

Steve DiMeglio with the exclusive news that Tiger Woods has taken time away from his duties as part of the Ryder Cup task force Task Force where he is said to not be sitting in the back making paper airplanes, all to start working on his game and listening to his doctors. Whoever they are.

From DiMeglio's USA Today report:

"The doctors said he could hit golf balls again, and he's listening to his doctors and to his body," Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, told USA TODAY Sports on Monday. "He will keep listening to his doctors and body."

Steinberg's text to ESPN.com's Bob Harig also reiterated the "still listening to his doctors" line, which an otherwise skeptical person might believe is not a coincidence.

Woods is targeting a return at his Hero World Challenge in December, where another strong field will be showing up.
