Paramus, New Jersey …

It has been officially some nine months since Tiger Woods officially worked with a coach.

In this time he’s been able to show to the golf world he not has the game to win what would be an 80th PGA Tour title but also capture a 15th Major as we saw last fortnight in St. Louis.

The now 42-year old had just posted a Northern Trust closing round 70 for a then share of 34th place at four-under par.

Tiger Woods confirms he remains comfortable without a formal coach.

A check of his overall Ridgewood Country Club statistics reveal the following:

Fairways Hit – 38 of 56

Greens in Regulation – 52 of 72

Putts – 120 (29 1st round, 35 2nd round and 28 both the 3rd and 4th round)

It prompted Bernie here at www.golfbytourmiss.com to ask Woods if he still remained comfortable without a coach.

Bernie.  Tiger, I’m notsuggesting for one minute that you need a coach, but are you still happy going it alone as you are at the moment?

TIGER WOODS:  “I am. I don’t have a coach at the moment. I’m looking at a lot of replay and video or just analyzing what I do.

“So yeah, I’m going about doing this on my own this entire year, and basically, since my back was fused.”
