A better question....what happened to that gum on the 18th hole?  Pictures show that he certainly didn't have any gum in his mouth when he screamed in victory!  🙂

I don't think it was much of anything. He was chewing gum the majority of the tournament. I myself like to chew gum while playing just calming for some reason.

Apparently it was to curb his appetite because he said he eats too much. At first I thought it was to keep him focused or something, but I was far off.

So many guys out there are dippers: Brooks, DJ, Kisner.. I believe Tiger has done that some in the past, but wouldn't be surprised if it was nicotine gum for both Tiger and Phil.  I used to dip, but for the past 7-8 years,  use the gum on the course.

He wants to curb his appetite, but also he loses too much weight during tournaments? Does not compute.  Phil saying it stimulates the frontal cortex is more likely.

I'll bet the weight loss is from sweating so much. He's been know to change shirts several times during the day on a tournament.

It's not uncommon at all for him to change shirts in the locker room after the range session before going to the first tee.  As for during the round, I would think it's a less frequent occurrence, but I could see popping into one of the TV compound trailers along the way to change shirts if needed.   it's not something you'd see on camera most likely.

Particularly in the warmer tournaments, he sweats more than most.  Here is an article about his wardrobe changes

https://www.nationalclubgolfer.com/news/tiger-woods-sweats/

I remember 1 time, I think at the Masters several years ago, where he changed shirts and then had to rip it as it didn't fit right in his shoulders and was restricting his swing, then changed shirts a few holes later

That's what I was eluding to, he can't scratch his nose without being seen or commented on so it must be pre round he does this.

He did this a lot during the PGA Championship in STL. It was hot there, and I think he changed shirts two or three times in a round.

I wonder if the TV coverage doesn't show it for modesty reasons, not that I want to see it, I just don't ever remember seeing it.

He'll change it in the bathrooms along the course and he has 2-3 shirts in the bag that are the exact same as the one he starts the round with so you wouldn't know he just changed. Did this a lot at Bellerive

That's what I was eluding to, he can't scratch his nose without being seen or commented on so it must be pre round he does this.

If anyone listened to Michale Breed on PGA radio this morning they spoke about the gun chewing and also mentioned there are rumors it may be CBD gum, who knows how true this is but with all the past back/ knee and neck pain it may make sense.

Whrn Speith won The Open he had gum all 4 rounds. He said it was calming and help keep his mind free between shots.
