"If Tiger makes that phone call, yes, he breaks the record. If he doesn't make that call, there's only a minute chance."

Connell Barrett's superb Golf Magazine interview with Brandel Chamblee is worth a look and with it being a slow news cyle, well worth parsing, starting with this on Tiger's swing and physique:

Will Woods's swing improve under Sean Foley?

Not if Tiger's goal is winning more majors. Tiger's new swing changes are designed to help him trap the ball and hit it lower. I just don't get it. You have to hit the ball high in majors. Hitting it high made Nicklaus and Watson champions. In 2000 and 2001 under Butch Harmon, Tiger hit sky bombs off the tee. In my opinion, Tiger ruined the greatest swing and the greatest physique in golf history.

You mean he's too muscled up?

Tiger's body was perfect for golf. He was lean, sinewy, quick. He's turned himself into an NFL linebacker — but why? In golf, you don't have to lift a car over your head. You swing an 11-ounce club.

If Tiger calls Butch Harmon and says, "Let's get the band back together," does Woods break Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 major wins?

If Tiger makes that phone call, yes, he breaks the record. If he doesn't make that call, there's only a minute chance. To win majors, you need control of your shots. And Tiger's lost that control. He's lost intimidation. He's lost his clear mind. And in 2010, he lost his magic with the putter. He used to be Superman. Now he's just another good player.

Well, so much for a Brandel/Tiger sit down from the new Jupiter digs.

So, what do you think?
