Tiger Working With...Stevie!? Definitely Not With Marty Hackel!

Golfweek posts some Getty images of Tiger's early morning practice at Whistling Straits. They reveal Stevie working harder than ever on Tiger's swing.

I know he's just holding a club on his head, but it really is a pathetic sight. Get this man a swing coach!

Meanwhile Robert Lusetich analyzes all things Tiger and brings his always fresh take to the table. And while you might laugh at the "Where's Marty Hackel When You Need Him?" portion of the piece, he does bring up a fair point about Tiger's goatee.

In retrospect, I should’ve known something was awry when Woods played the opening round with a goatee. I’ve seen him sporting facial hair many times when he arrives at tournaments, but by Thursday, he’s always clean shaven. Not this week.

I even asked him whether the goatee might face the razor after an opening 4-over 74, which was his worst-ever score at Firestone (Sunday‘s 77 has since replaced it in the record books).

“I don’t know,” he said with a shrug. “We’ll see.”

Though it's not as awful looking as Jon Stewart's goatee, it's not exactly going to have the Accenture's knocking on his door. Or perhaps that's the point, he has accepted that things will never be the same. Particularly on the corporate endorsement front.
