Video: Where Does Tiger Woods Go From Here?

I know so many are upset by the attention given to Tiger and his dramatics, with the inevitable TMZ references made to encapsulate coverage of his bizarro tooth tale or his deactivated glutes WD. But what we are witnessing with the greatest golfer of our time (and quite possibly of all time) is an unprecedented decline. So as always, I urge those not able to put this into historical context to scroll on by.

But if you are intrigued by the topic, or the yips, or desires, or what some think could help him regain his form, the coverage below is meant to document what folks are saying now. And let's hope for the game's sake it all turns out to have been an overreaction, but as you'll see, some very smart analysts acknowledge the unprecedented nature of what we're witnessing. After all, Tiger is now a once-unthinkable 50-1 to win the Masters and falling fast (Alex Miceli reports).

Christopher Devine quotes Greg Norman, talking at the USGA Annual Meeting to launch Fox's foray into golf, who hits on the key point: we're seeing a player lose a part of the game that he was once so brilliant at:

"He was a brilliant short-game player," Norman, a former world No. 1 like Woods, told Perform. "For that to fall off a cliff as quickly as it has is mind-blowing. I've not seen that in any other athlete.

"The only sort of person I can relate it to is Bernhard Langer. I remember playing with him one time in Europe during the early '80s and all of a sudden he was four-putting from 2 feet and five-putting from 2 feet. He just lost the control of his putting, he got the yips. That's the only other person I think I could use. So is it mental? Or is it physical?

"You can see the physical side of it about where his weaknesses are and what he's doing wrong but I think it's more deep-seated. I think it's deep inside his head and maybe deeper than that."

There is video of Norman talking with the piece.

As for Sunday's Morning Drive "roundtable", what could have gone either way content-wise turned into very compelling TV as Gary Williams hosted Phil Blackmar, Jaime Diaz, Brandel Chamblee and Michael Breed to discuss the state of Woods.

The clips are all worth your time if you're a Tiger fan and have the spare moments.

On Tiger's swing.

The segment on what's next for Tiger and where the gang pretty much concurs that Woods needs to shut it down until he has the focus and desire.

And in maybe the most powerful segment, Michael Breed saw what I saw in person: Tiger was essentially going through the motions. Not a shocking sight in terms of pro athletes, as all the great ones eventually lose the fire. Still, Tiger has brought such energy to his golf that it was shocking to see. Not sad in my view, as he's given the game so much, but still shocking after all these years of intensity.

Brandel Chamblee also brings up the very plausible argument that Woods has many contractual obligations for starts and was at Torrey Pines to satisfy those:
