Make no mistake – a Tigerless golf world is bad for business | Lawrence Donegan
The PGA Tour might use this moment to readdress its relationship with its most important player The 2010 PGA Tour season begins on the Hawaiian island of Maui tomorrow and the only guarantees are the television pictures will be spectacular and the private life of Tiger Woods will scarcely merit a mention. As much as the world outside professional golf continues to obsess about the public ...

The flabby, unfit golf pro is a vanishing breed on the PGA Tour, where the average player is stronger, leaner and longer hitting than ever before. Call it the Tiger Woods effect. Pressed to keep up with the world's best (and most chiseled) player, most pros are treating golf like a contact sport.

'Fitness is transforming the game,' says Mark Verstegen, author of Core Performance Golf, R245, Today's pro blasts his tee shot 50m further than players of 15 years ago.

Golfers are becoming athletes. But you don't have to be a golf pro to reap the benefits of golf fitness. Weave the following exercises into your weekly routine and you'll add another 25m to your drive and strengthen your core and back, says Verstegen. 'Better still,' he says, 'you'll play without pain or injuries.'

One-Sided Dumbbell Bench Press

(strengthens the chest and core stability).

Lie off-centre on a bench so only your left glute and shoulder touch the bench. Hold a dumbbell above your chest with your right hand and grasp the bench behind your head with your left hand. Lower the weight until your elbow is in line with your shoulder, then return to the starting position. Do three sets of eight to 10 reps per side.

Single-Leg Romanian Dead Lift

(strengthens the glutes, hamstrings and lower back).

Hold dumbbells in both hands and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent and arms at your sides.

Lift your right foot off the floor and bend at the hips, maintaining a straight line from the heel of your right foot to your shoulder as you lower your torso until it's as close to parallel with the floor as you can get without arching your back. Pause, then return to the starting position. Do three sets of eight to 10 reps per side.

Perpendicular Throws

(strengthens the hips, torso and arms).

Stand four feet from a wall with your hips perpendicular to it and hold a medicine ball with one hand under the ball and the other behind it. Rotate away from the wall until the ball is behind your hip, then initiate the throw by driving your back hip toward the wall, followed by your trunk and arms. Catch and repeat. Do two sets of eight to 10 reps per side.

Russian Twist

(strengthens the hips and core).

Lie face-up on an exercise ball with your shoulders on the ball, your feet flat on the floor and your hips in line with your shoulders and knees. Holding a weight plate above your chest with both hands, roll your upper body to the right until your shoulders are perpendicular to the ground (your hips shouldn't move). Twist back to the starting position, then repeat on your left side. Do three sets of eight to 10 reps per side.

Front Pillar Bridge

(strengthens the shoulders and core).

Get into a modified push-up position, supporting your weight with your forearms and the balls of your feet. Lift your left leg into the air; hold for two seconds. Place it on the floor, switch legs and repeat 10 more times. That's one set. Do three.
