here's another article of a fellow PGA pro talking about how bad Tiger's yips

are. It came out later he was referring to Tiger Woods in this quote from 2014.



"There are more cases of pitching yips, brought on by that very type of shot, than ever before. There's a very good player on tour, whom I don't care to identify, who has as bad a case of the pitching yips as I've ever seen. He's in a very dark place mentally and has become a master of disguising this weakness. He'll hit his ball to some extraordinarily difficult places to avoid hitting the 30-yard pitch from a tight lie. He's making a very good living, but sooner or later he'll face a 30-yard shot over a bunker on national TV when it really counts. He'll lay the sod over it three times in a row. And then you'll know who it is I'm talking about."

I'll also add that i'm a scratch golfer and have suffered from the putting yips. It's led me to all but quit playing tournament golf. I also have bunker yips. I developed both post mission when I started golfing again after two years off. I never had either prior. I've had countless tournament rounds of golf where I shot in the mid 70s and had more putts than hits.
