This just in: Tiger Woods is jacked

Tiger Woods and his trainer are set to divulge the golfer’s workout regimen in the next issue of Men’s Fitness.

In golf circles, this is the like the revealing of state secrets, although in actuality, none of it is terribly innovative. The bottom line is Woods works his tail off, up to three hours a day, including endurance runs of seven miles and speed runs of three miles.

A sports reporter at The Journal News for nearly three years, Alex Myers has covered a bit of everything, but a lot of golf, ranging from the high school level to last year's U.S. Open at Winged Foot. His golf writing goes back to his college days when he attended Wake Forest University. Myers is also an avid player who is constantly trying to improve on his current handicap of 8. Perhaps his biggest thrill came earlier this summer when he conquered the famed 17th hole at the TPC at Sawgrass by hitting a 9-iron onto the island green and walking away with a 2-putt par.
