It is the putter that he used on the PGA Championship, where he missed one crucial putt; It also is( the putter) that he used on the Barclays, where he missed a 7-foot birdie putt on the final hole.
On the TPC Boston this Thursday, we have seen the Nike provided him two putters during his first tee. Do he is the one that we all known? Is he the one who has earned 72 victories and 13 majors over the last 11 years? This is Tiger Woods who so depressed to need to change his putters?
Is the world's No. 1 player so frustrated that he is willing to finally change putters? Is he fed up with missed putts that cost him a chance to win the last two tournaments?
Woods was only checking the alignment of the grip on his backup putter. He prefers it to be 1 degree to the right, which slightly closes the blade on impact. This grip was too square, and the glue had already dried before Woods could twist it where he wanted it.
He has several backup putters, which hardly anyone ever mentions.
''That's because I haven't needed it,'' Woods said.
Woods is nowhere near panic mode with his putting. Even though he didn't win his last two tournaments, he still has 12 top 10s in his 15 starts on the PGA Tour. Besides, Woods felt more at home during his pro-am round at the Deutsche Bank Championship on a course where he has won and finished second twice.
The greens at TPC Boston do not have poa annua, the strain of grass found at Hazeltine, which gets bumpy in the afternoon. The subtle breaks do not confound him like the ones at Liberty National a week ago.
''They're rolling perfect,'' Woods said. ''They're rolling great. I was telling Stevie (Williams), 'Every time we come here, we think the greens are undulating.' Not after last week.''
Woods is coming off a performance memorable for all the wrong reasons.
He made a late charge into contention at The Barclays, finishing with a 6-iron to 7 feet for birdie on the last hole that ultimately would have put him in a playoff. His putt never touched the hole.
It was rare to see Woods fail to deliver a key putt on such a stage, which is one reason there is so much attention on this putting. He is averaging 28.58 putts per round on the PGA Tour, an improvement over the last four years.
Or maybe we are so shocked about Tiger Woods on the Barclays is that the guy failed for what he have successful done for many times.
