Woods was receptive, Callaway said, and tentatively plans to meet with Callaway in June for a physical evaluation. If all goes well, Callaway will design a fitness program specifically for Woods' body. The program would correct muscle imbalances that are present in virtually everybody, even elite athletes. Tiger is very gifted. Right now, he feels he's managing it with the conditioning program he's on.
Every sport has certain characteristic physical demands.
You must, must, must do golf- specific things. Callaway said Woods understandably was hesitant about doing anything that would change his body. Not that they're not great, and not that Tiger's not already great. But if a program like this is not in place, they are really cheating themselves from optimizing their talent and abilities. And they're cheating the world, they're cheating all of us from experiencing that with them.
