PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods is about the only person not in a panic about his game.

These remain curious times for the guy trying to show he can still dominate golf as he once did. In his last four tournaments, Woods walked off the course in the middle of the final round at Doral with tightness in his left Achilles tendon, won by five shots at Bay Hill for his first PGA Tour title in 30 months, was an also-ran at the Masters with his worst performance as a pro and missed the cut at Quail Hollow for only the eighth time in his career.

Peter Alliss, the playerturned broadcaster, said before his induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame that Woods is “gone at the moment.” Nick Faldo, a sixtime major champion who works for CBS Sports and Golf Channel, said Woods no longer has the self-belief that made him No. 1 for all those years. Brandel Chamblee, a journeyman on the PGA Tour and now an analyst for Golf Channel, said Woods should fire Sean Foley and call his old coach, Butch Harmon.

“And I know he’ll never do that because he’s letting his ego get in the way of common sense,” Chamblee said on a conference call for The Players Championship, which starts Thursday. “He wants to prove to people he’s right. He would rather prove to people he’s right than be right.”

Woods has been down this road, though not with so many detours.

“Guys, I’ve done this before,” Woods said. “I’ve been through this. Actually, a lot of you guys lived it with me, went through those periods where I wasn’t quite where I wanted to be. I had some pretty good runs after that, and this is no different. It takes a little bit of a time, and I keep building and things eventually come around to where they feel natural and efficient.”
