Yesterday during a conference call that I was on NBC lead golf analyst had some very strong advice for Tiger Woods as he gets ready to tee off at today’s Players Championship.
MILLER ON WOODS STRUGGLES AT QUAIL HOLLOW: “His game is…as interesting [to the public] as if he were playing real well. It doesn’t hurt to have Tiger in the scenario.”
MILLER ON WOODS’ PERFORMANCE AT PEBBLE BEACH IN 2000: “This might be a little harsh but I really believe he needs to, every night, watch the U.S. Open in the year 2000 in Pebble and just copy that swing and forget the [Hank] Haney stuff. That was the best golf anybody has every played in history…He was so on top of his game and everything was such a green light. Physically, tempo-wise, command of shots, driving 70 percent of the fairway, putting off the charts. As Roger would say, ‘It wasn’t a fair fight.’”
MILLER ON TIGER WOODS AND PHIL MICKELSON: “If you look historically at the guys that do win here, Tiger and Phil, have to throttle way down with their games. If I were caddying for Tiger on the first tee, I’d probably break the driver and just say ‘let’s go play.’ Phil, when he won was really throttling down with that baby cut and playing very conservative.”
For his part Haney answered back, telling GolfChannel.com that Miller should look closer at what Woods has accomplished while working with the legendary swing coach.
