Tiger’s a mix of artist and engineer

Tiger’s a mix of artist and engineer – Azinger Tiger Woods has regained his golfing mojo because his artistic talents are combining with his technical prowess to produce the complete player, according to former U.S.

Tiger Woods has regained his golfing mojo because his artistic talents are combining with his technical prowess to produce the complete player, according to former U.S.

Woods, however, has gradually worked his way back up the rankings and three PGA Tour victories this year have helped the 37-year-old take over from Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy as number one.


“Tiger is an artist who has tried to become an engineer and when there is a convergence of the two, that is something to behold,” Azinger told Reuters in an interview ahead of next week’s U.S.

“I believe Tiger is still the great artist who was overcome by becoming the engineer in each one of his swing changes.

Azinger, who led the Americans to victory at the 2008 Ryder Cup, compared Woods with the great Spanish shotmaker Seve Ballesteros who died in 2011 at the age of 54 after a long battle with brain cancer.

Rory being compared to what Tiger has done is kind of unfair,” added Azinger, who collected 12 PGA Tour victories between 1987-2000.
