Even Tiger Woods finds technology changing the game

Tiger Woods won’t be changing his putter any time soon.

But everything else in his bag could be fair game — eventually.

During a Monday news conference at the PGA Learning Center to promote Nike’s new golf equipment, Woods talked about the rapid technological advances in golf.

“I bring (the old driver) out every now and then and I hit it probably only 10 or 15 yards behind my driver,” Woods said. “But when I mishit it, it’s like hitting a 3-iron out there. It goes absolutely nowhere, and that’s the biggest difference.”
