Tiger Woods has changed his swing more times than most golfers change socks, hired the best and the brightest gurus that his millions can buy, and it turns out the key to the motion he’s been desperately seeking is right under his own roof.
Tiger Woods envies 6-year-old son’s golf swing

“He’s got some parts of his swing I’m trying to do, that I can’t do. It’s a little frustrating at times,” Woods, citing his six-year-old son Charlie’s developing rhythm, quipped on Wednesday ahead of this week’s Memorial Tournament.
“Charlie’s a natural athlete,” said his proud papa. “He just seems to have it.”
Jack Nicklaus’ tournament will be Woods’ fifth official PGA Tour start in 2015. After finishing tied for 69th at TPC Sawgrass on May 10, Woods said he was “a lot more confident” about his game coming into his 15th start on a Muirfield Village track where he’s won five times than he was prior to The Players Championship.
“I feel very good about the changes we’ve made,” Woods said after the pro-am at Muirfield Village, referring to his work with current swing consultant Chris Como, who could be out of a job if Charlie opts to tutor his old man. “It’s still evolving, but it’s getting better.”
The former world No. 1, now ranked 172nd, will use Jack Nicklaus’ event as his final tuneup before the U.S. Open, which starts on June 18 at Chambers Bay.
