Tiger won't alter swing

World No.1 Tiger Woods' marital status might have changed, but he says he is reluctant to alter his golf swing.
Speaking prior to Thursday's opening round of The Barclays PGA Tour event at the Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey, the world No.1 said he has been working closely with swing guru Sean Foley but won't be making sweeping changes to his game.
"We worked on the same stuff that we worked on at the PGA (Championship). And it's just a matter of getting it more solidified."
"I still haven't officially done it yet (changed my swing)," Woods said.
"Just because this would be the fourth time I changed my golf swing since I've been on the PGA Tour."
"So it's an undertaking that I have to wrap my head around because it's going to take some time."
Woods also said that officials may have key decisions to make during the tournament because of the slippery conditions on the course.
"Are we going to put it up or down because every ball I hit in the fairway had mud on it? With it drying out, the mud's only going to get worse. So we'll see what the staff does."
"It's plenty difficult just being straightforward (the course). And if it was dry and fast, this place would be just brutally difficult."
Brute force will be required given the conditions and the size of the course's holes, according to Woods.
"It will be interesting to see how the golf course is with the tees and how much they move it up, if at all, because some of the holes are playing really long."
