Tiger Woods' Next Swing Coach Might Be Himself

After more than four years together, Woods and swing coach Sean Foley parted ways last month. In his blog, Woods thanked Foley for his help as his coach and claimed that Foley is one of the most outstanding coaches in golf today. In his statement, the38-year-old revealed that he will not have a swing coach for the meantime and he does not have a timetable for hiring one.

Earlier this week, Woods talked about his lack of coach and claimed that he is not looking for a new coach; rather, he is just trying to improve physically and be stronger, faster and more explosive. On Thursday, he released another statement on his blog saying that he might do the coaching himself.

"As for my coaching situation, there is no hard-and-set rule on this. I may just do it on my own. I'm keeping my options very, very open. I need to get healthy first before I start back and see how I feel. That's the No. 1 concern. And from there, then I can start deciding where I want to go with it," he said.

The professional golfer also consulted a pal and a former Standford teammate, Notah Begay III regarding the matter. He revealed that they talked things through and discussed his options and direction he should pursue.

Meanwhile, according to Yahoo Sports report, Woods feels that coaches just don't understand tournament pressure and the three he's worked with are no exemptions. Without dropping the names of Sean Foley, Hank Haney and Butch Harmon, Woods believes that coaches' lack of tournament experience leaves them inadequate in understanding high-pressure circumstances. He also added that although coaches know more on the technical side, he thinks he knows better from a feel standpoint.

Thus far, Woods will remain with no coach for a couple of months, like when he was parting with Haney in 2010. Even so, the 14-time major title champion is expected to play a full schedule for the 2014-2015 season.
