PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Tiger Woods’ mentoring of Justin Thomas appears to have paid dividends, as Woods has borrowed Thomas’ putting coach, Matt Killen.
Killen was spotted working with Woods on Monday at TPC Sawgrass ahead of The Players and was walking with Woods, Thomas and Trey Mullinax during a practice round early Tuesday morning.
That Woods has turned to a coach shouldn’t come as a surprise given his performance on the greens in his last two starts. Woods recorded 12 three-putts or worse on poa annua surfaces at the Genesis Open and WGC-Mexico Championship, taking 66 total strokes over the weekend at the latter event.
