What is Tiger Woods’ putting stroke?
He places his thumbs straight down the center of the putter grip. Woods’ grip is conducive to an arc-style putting stroke in which the face opens in relation to the target line going back, then closes after impact. Note: All descriptions are for right-handed golfers.
Why does Tiger Woods swing his golf clubs with his left hand?
That’s because his left hand is in a stronger position more on the side of the grip. His right hand is basically neutral — maybe on the slightly strong-side of neutral. Combined, those two forces push the shaft toward the target. This grip resulted in a swing in which the club was across the line at the top of the backswing with a closed clubface.
