2010 PGA Championship: Tiger Woods, Swing Coach Sean Foley Make Eyes For Each Other

Phil Mickelson and his family have been through quite a few health problems in the last 18 months. His wife Amy and mother were both diagnosed with breast cancer, and each are still fighting the condition. Mickelson has spent considerable time away from golf to tend to his family.

What is psoriatic arthritis? According to Google Health, it “is an arthritis that is often associated with psoriasis of the skin.” The condition is mild compared to other forms of arthritis, but the pain centers around the tips of appendages like fingers and toes. Pain can spread to the spine in rare cases. Anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed to reduce pain and swelling of impacted joints.

In his ritual Tuesday pre-major press conference, the buzz around Tiger Woods was his reportedly budding relationship with Canadian swing teacher Sean Foley. Rumored since The Players Championship in May to be working with Woods in some capacity, Foley was again spotted Tuesday morning walking with Woods and current pupils Sean O’Hair and last week’s winner Hunter Mahan.

Asked about it by the media, Woods said of the Tuesday action, “I wasn’t doing anything with him today. He was watching Hunter and Sean, and I did ask him to film a couple, I would like to take a look at it, which I did look, so I’m heading in the right direction.”
