On Saturday, November 23 Tiger Woods took to the Twitter-sphere to announce a change in strategy. 

 

Sean Foley, Woods' former swing coach who separated from him back in August 2014 was finally replaced by a 37-year-old, graduate in biomechanics and neuroscience named Chris Como.

 

According to Golf Channel, Como earned a spot as Golf Magazine’s Youngest Top-100 teacher in 2013 and a Golf Digest "Top 40 Under 40".

 

Como and Woods were introduced to one another earlier this year by Notah Begay III, a former Stanford University teammate of Woods.

 

"I am happy to have Chris Como consulting and working with me on my swing," Woods said via Twitter anticipating the upcoming season.

 

However, where most have welcomed

the change, there are others wondering if

Woods will be ready for the rigorous training Como

will bring or if Como will be ready

to handle the high-profile athlete that is Tiger Woods.

 

"I don’t think anybody’s ready" for the high-profile,

pressure-packed position Como has accepted," 

Begay told Kelly Tilghman of Golf Channel.

 

Nevertheless, Woods will once again be stepping out into

competitive play, for the first time since August.

 

Gearing up to return December 3 in Windermere, Fla., at the World Hero Challenge, people are already anticipating whether Como's slightly unorthodox techniques will help the former World No. 1 scale back up the top ranks.

 

Woods has held three separate swing coaches since he started on tour, Butch Harmon, Hank Haney and Sean Foley.

 

People can only hope that the fourth time will be the charm. 

 

 

I am happy to have Chris Como consulting and working with me on my swing.
