Pinched Nerve Likely Culprit For Tiger
All signs point to a "pinched nerve" in Tiger Woods' neck, particularly with the tingling Woods describes into his fingers on the right side.
This can be caused by a bulging disc, but also by other things including bone spurs -- sometimes there is inflammation in the area that irritates the nerve without an obvious mechanical cause (such as a disc or bone spur).
An MRI may help clarify, but it may not show much, either.
The rotation of his swing is clearly what aggravates the injury since Woods said setting up over the ball is fine, but backswing, downswing and follow-through bother him.
