    Hi,

    Was just thinking about this last night.
    Do you think Tiger has put in any consideration as to how he's going to swing when he gets older, loses some strength and is not as agile.

    I know he is a phenomenal player, but he does use ALOT of power.
    How do you think he'll cope when he can't turn as well, doesn't have the strength, etc etc ?

    Cheers

    Have often considered this myself... however, when Tiger is really "on", he actually swings with much better rhythm so it may not become as big a problem as you'd think....

    Having said that, I wonder will Tiger even bother golfing into his fifties? He'll be swimming in money even more so than he is now and may have moved into the business world fulltime...

    Yeah, much like Greg Norman I'd imagine...

    I'm sure he'll adapt and be the best 50 year old ever...

    By the time he reaches 50, he'll probably just buy an island and retire on the winnings.

    He's made two noticeable swing changes in his career, both to facilitate his future in the game, as well as reduce wear and tear on his left knee.

    He's a brilliant all-rounder, not just relying on power.

    He only recently changed to big head clubs and graphite shafts (2004) while others were noticeably gaining on his strength at the tee, So it's fair to say that Yes he has put some consideration into his future

    By that time he will be the best built 50 year old aswell.
    I think the guy will make what ever changes to his swing that keeps him on the top spot.
    he is the only player that i have seen that hit less than 4 fairways on a final day and still shot 67 to win by 2 shots.

    There were guys out there that hit 12 out of 14 faiways and shot 74
