Slow greens force Tiger to rethink putting strategy

TIGER WOODS announced yesterday that he has separated – from the putter with which he has won 13 of his 14 majors.

While refusing to comment on whether a divorce settlement has now been agreed with wife Elin, the world number one was happy to discuss dropping the club which has helped make him arguably the greatest player in golf history.

Woods has used the same Scotty Cameron blade since the Byron Nelson Classic in 1999 however, it has been discarded for this week at least because he is not at all happy with the St Andrews greens.
