Tiger Woods: the coil before the turn

SportLocation Golf Desk · 16 Oct 2026

Tiger Woods holds his head steady at the top before turning through the ball in one continuous swing.

Tiger Woods reaches a high, coiled position over the teed ball, then brings the club down as his lower body turns towards impact. The sequence is the detail to watch: the turn starts from below while his head stays steady.

That is also what the accompanying commentary picks out, noting the coil at the top and the lower body turning into the ball. Woods then rotates through into a high finish, his rear foot lifting as the swing carries on.

The ball is still visible beneath him in the opening position. From that held shape, the motion runs down to the strike and on through the finish.
