The Countdown to The Masters
50 days folks…
🐦 Tweets of the Week 🐦
I love a good swing analysis, especially a Tiger one. LKD noticed that Tiger looked a bit narrower in his stance at the Genesis, with a flared lead foot. Both of these allow Tiger more mobility and turn in the swing.
Side note: if you have trouble making a full turn, you might be surprised how slightly flaring your feet out can really improve your range of motion.

Charlie Woods is going to try to qualify for this PGA Tour event
Golf Digest’s Alex Myers writes: (Link)
“The PGA Tour announced the son of 15-time major champ Tiger Woods will compete in Thursday's pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches. The younger Woods is playing in one of four pre-qualifiers for the event. Approximately 25 players and ties will advance to the full Monday qualifying event. There, four spots will be available into the PGA Tour event that runs Feb. 29-March 3 at PGA National's Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens.”
At 15 years old, this marks Charlie’s first Pro qualifier. I’m a bit surprised, as this will open up the floodgates of media attention.
Eric Cogorno and Erika Larkin discuss how to turn off your arms in the swing. This video could be helpful for those of you that are too armsy and tend to get disconnected (hand up here!).
Check out the video below from 2ndSwing Master Fitter Kevin Kraft where he discusses his Top 5 favorite golf clubs of 2024. Also, check out my interview with Kevin from last year for more information on club fittings.
