Coach Shayain spotted Tiger Woods running three specific putting drills on the practice green — and in this video she breaks down exactly what he was doing and how you can copy them yourself. From the gate drill to single-hand technique and an eye line check, these are simple, effective exercises that require nothing more than two tees and a few golf balls.
Coach Shayain – Putting
Coach Shayain walks through three putting drills she observed Tiger Woods using in practice, adapting them into a clear, beginner-friendly format. The session covers the gate drill, right-hand and left-hand solo putting for distance and face control, and a nose-drop eye line check to confirm correct set-up. If short putts are costing you shots, this is a practical place to start.
Key Takeaways The gate drill builds a smooth stroke
Place two tees slightly wider than your putter head and practise swinging through without clipping either tee, focusing on a pendulum motion that avoids the jabbing, stopping action that causes inconsistency.
Single-hand drills target different problems
Use your right hand only to develop distance control and feel for pace, then switch to your left hand alone to train a square putter face through impact.
The eye line drop confirms your set-up
Drop a ball from the bridge of your nose while in your putting posture — it should land in the middle of your gate, confirming your eyes are directly over the ball and your weight is balanced evenly.
Take two tees to the putting green before your next round and run through these three drills in sequence — even ten minutes of focused repetition will start to build the muscle memory that makes short putts feel routine. This video is ideal for beginners who want a structured, easy-to-follow practice routine that directly addresses the most common putting faults.
