Tiger’s new coach, ‘borderline’ greens | Seen and Heard at Pinehurst

Tiger Woods has a new coach, Chris Como, and he’s already making waves. Como is known for his unorthodox methods, and he’s not afraid to challenge Woods’ long-held beliefs.

“He’s not afraid to tell me what I need to hear, even if it’s not what I want to hear,” Woods said. “He’s challenging me in a lot of different ways, and I’m really enjoying working with him.”

Como’s influence was evident at the U.S. Open, where Woods played some of his best golf in years. He finished tied for sixth, his best result in a major since 2013.

“I’m really excited about the future with Chris,” Woods said. “I think he can help me get back to where I want to be.”
