So, what exactly causes the yips? (A pill that would make the yips
disappear would sell like crazy I bet.)

A. Anxiety

The yips are often caused by the anxiety of putting. If you look up
too quickly to see if your ball falls into the hole, your stroke might
not come out correctly. Furthermore, pulling or pushing your hands
might cause a similar outcome. And it should go without saying,
shaking & wobbling hands don’t do wonders for your score.

B. Wrist Breakdown
A “breakdown” (a bending or twisting of your wrist) in your right
hand can result in the yips. Often, this flick of the wrist happens just
before impact. This slight error can send your putt way out of line.

C. Alignment

If you line up improperly before putting & misalign your putterhead,
your body may subconsciously alter the swing path mid stroke in an
attempt to make a correction. Attempting to correct the path of a putt
mid-stroke is very difficult & likely to result in a push or pull. (Or,
the putterhead may cut across the ball, causing it to spin in an
unfavorable direction.)
