 |  People thought I was crazy for changing my swing after I won the Masters by 12 shots [in 1997] |
Tiger Woods brushed off criticism for changing his swing this season as he prepared for a one-day Skins game in South Korea on Sunday. The world number two will play against Colin Montgomerie and local stars KJ Choi and LPGA player Se Ri Pak.
"People thought I was crazy for changing my swing after I won the 1997 Masters by 12 shots. I had a pretty good run after that," said Woods.
"Hopefully, soon I'll play equally as good if not better."
In Skins, a pot of money is available for the outright winner on each hole. If any players share the hole the pot moves onto the next hole.
"It's not necessarily who plays the best, it's actually who makes the right putt at the right time," said Woods.
The American lost his world number one spot for the first time in five years to Fiji's Vijay Singh in September.
His only tournament victory in 2004 was the WGC-Match Play title.
From South Korea, Woods will travel to Japan for next week's Dunlop Phoenix tournament.
