In an interview with Yahoo’s Graham Bensinger, Gary Player, the 86-year-old former golf legend that won 24 PGA Tour tournaments and nine majors, stated that he just wanted an hour with Tiger Woods to make his game better.

"“I would love to sit down with him for one hour and give him a piece of my knowledge,” Player said. “Then I think he could win majors. I would talk to him quite a bit about the swing, because he’s got flaws. There’s a reason why he’s not the same Tiger Woods anymore, and I reckon I could get those things across to him that would make a massive change because I’ve had so much experience, which would take him at least another 40-50 years to get.”"

Tiger Woods has gone through three swing coaches in his career. He recently fired coach Sean Foley in August of 2014 after he failed to win any major golf tournaments from 2010-2014 with Foley. Tiger Woods’ first swing coach was Butch Harmon, who he won eight majors with Tiger Woods from 1993-2004. Hank Haney took over coaching for Tiger Woods from 2004-2010 when the golf phenom won six majors.

Now, Tiger Woods continues to get advice from a multitude of analysts and former golfers who think they know everything there is to know about Tiger and his swing. Chuck Cook, Jason Dufner and Keegan Bradley’s coach, Pete Cowen, Henrik Stenson’s coach, Davis Love III, Steve Stricker as well as Butch Harmon have all been named as candidates for Tiger’s next swing coach.

Now, former Stanford teammate and close friend of Woods’, Notah Begay III has been active in helping Tiger and it looks like he has a chance to be named his official coach. Tiger may look to try his golf without a coach, he is scheduled to return to golf tournaments in December, once he has fully recovered from a back surgery that he underwent in August of this year.

Tiger Woods has won 14 golf majors (second to Jack Nicklaus with 18) and 79 tournaments (second to Sam Snead with 82) in his career and the 38-year-old is looking to win more and own both those records by the time he retires.
