Veteran PGA caddie claims Tiger Woods missed 10 major championship wins due to an action change

Kip Henley shared his opinion on Tiger Woods’ game on social media. The veteran caddie is quite active on social media and is known for sharing valuable golf-related advice.

On Sunday, a golf fan page, Zaggy, shared a throwback video of Woods, showing a glimpse of his swing, and in the caption talked about the shot.

"Flat wrist, down the line, on plane swing, no flip. Perfection. 110 professional wins, 15 major championships, 3 time US Amateur Champion, Ranked #1 683 consecutive weeks, 10x PGATour money list winner, Presidential Medal of Freedom," they wrote.

Henley reshared the video on his X (formerly Twitter) with a caption:

"People are entitled to their own opinions but mine is, IF HE DOESN’T CHANGE THIS ACTION HE WINS 25 MAJORS MINIMUM!!!! Maybe even more. He was just so much better than everyone else."

A fan in the comments section asked:

"would you say lifting weights was bad for him"

@Goaty_Feesh

would you say lifting weights was bad for him

To which Henley replied:

"100% no. Bulking up that much was though. He could have gotten stronger without as much bulk. He was faster than all but one or two in the game then. Someone should have told and helped him maintain that level. It’s like Blackjack! If you quit at 5K you couldn’t have won 10k."
