Johnny Miller said something recently on the radio here - that Tiger (with "help" from Mark O'Meara) has been trying to remake his swing to hit a natural draw rather than fade, and Miller thought that was stupid, given how fast he swings. If he is, as you say, off by a centimeter, he blocks it right or duck hooks it. Miller also said that all the power hitters over the years have been faders. Hooking is for old men and others with easy, repetitive swings. I can't say he's wrong.
It is a nice leaderboard, with some great stories (Haas being 50, Phil for the Slam, Shigeki the Smiling Assasin, Singh the ass, Els and Funk are well-liked) and Sergio lurking at even in 13th place.
