Who would have thought after his 14th major in 2008 that he would only win one more 11 years later and then we would be watching him play simulator golf on ESPN.
This would be better if they were on the drink, getting a bit drunk and actually having a good time rather than pretending that it's fun. Loosen it up a little, tell a few stories about each other, even trash talk a bit, it would be a good opportunity for them to show their actual human side rather than being a robotic professional athlete all the time. I'd be more interested in watching if it was like that.
@@junkfoodguy in his prime no. but today I could keep up and probally win a few rounds on him over a weekend of playing. im 19 and am at the peak of my game tho.
@ why not both it builds skill i know id like to try it i play regular courses where i live all the time and more practice the better variety is the spice of life enjoy it to the fullest.
Not sure how I feel about watching sim golf. These sims don’t seem good enough to replicate real golf shots 100% accurately. I mean I get the gist of it, much more accessible to do this than to organize something at a real course, but idk, doesn’t feel authentic enough to be more than a novelty.
This is for during off season. This league will fill in the time slot. Its not competing against "real" golf, but gives an option for people to watch golf all year round and for pros to compete. There's millions of golf fans that will watch their favorite golfer play real or sim golf.
Listen to the vibes. There was barely energy at the start and it only went downhill from there. Such a strange format. Wonder how many tens of millions are getting flushed down the drain on this venture
i think it could if they approached it like it mattered. When they act like it's some all star game like intensity right out of the gate then it's bound to fail...
This isn't real lmao...he just played the PNC and hit many good shot. He will compete this year. Tiger just isn't used to the lines and distances on a sim... Hes a feel player...the sim is a video game
@ Fair, as of today, it’s roughly 80% GIR from 100 yards and in. It just seemed very off on yardage. For example, when Tiger hit his 115 club 135. That doesn’t happen , ever.
As quirky as sim golf seems, it’s actually really entertaining seeing the different artificial terrains and surfaces play on this kind of stage. There is a ton of potential here for growth and refining the experience and I’m excited/hopeful it survives long enough for us to realize it. I also look at it this way.. if I had a choice between sim golf, and other indoor solo-skill-based sports like Billiards, bowling or cornhole - I’m watching sim golf every single time. So I think if there is an audience for those sports, then there will certainly be a large audience for sim golf.
Reading through comments and laughing. Some people love Tiger so much, that they genuinely believe the sim is not calibrated correctly if he doesn’t knock every iron to 3 feet.
this feels so close to being good, it just barely misses the mark in so many things. i could see it start picking up a couple years down the road as the tech and rules improve.
This absolutely sucked, from the phony, forced humor and enthusiasm and phony dude bro posturing. Absolutely cringe, never mind the paid PR shill comments in here trying to prop up this disaster. LOL!
I kind of liked it. I think it would be fun to go watch it. I’m not sure it’s gonna make it but it would be more accessible and easier to see more golf than going to an actual tournament. It has potential but I think having more non golfers in it would work better for broadcast. Commentary does need adjustment, get me Fat Perez and the rest of BDS on the mike
This gets way too much hate. Obviously it's not as good as real golf, but look how good of a time the golfers are having. It's just extra golf to see, and the pros can relax a bit. Not like this is getting rid of the masters.
Wish you could see the ball coming off the face heading into the screen. I know it’s a matter of seconds, but seeing the shot happen and then you’re just waiting however long for the shot tracer to show up on the screen, really isn’t a good viewing experience
Holy crap he putted like an idiot. Bunker shot left in the bunker, bad iron shots. Maybe he's not trying too hard cuz it's casual but certainly doesn't look tournament ready. Also these matches have been blowouts so far. One team for whatever reason just cant adjust to the indoor golf and the short game area especially.
@chriskay1449 oh I know it's clearly tough adjustment because like I said half the teams are completely clueless on and around the greens. Pitching is off too cuz it doesn't check like it does on grass.
Awesome concept. Not sure the technology is there yet. Sims never feel 100% accurate. People love to complain but really, this was a nice change of pace. Be real, most of us aren’t tuning in for golf every Sunday. I bet this is pulling more viewers than an actual pga tour round.
That was painful, I don't know how this farce could possibly continue. I missed the first round last week but watched the highlights, and that was bad, but I figured maybe watching live would be better...wrong! It's just not good, the only decent part is the chipping and putting, but how much of that can you watch? The best part was Tiger cracking up at the bunker shot Kissner hit off the flag stick. It was just sad watching Tiger not be able to even play simulator golf.
What's totally incredible if you think about it here 🤔 TIGER still wants to play golf if he can't walk much anymore But still has an incredible swing still holding up & competing He's created a Coliseum to compete in Incredible 👌👌 And I for one still love watching this incredible person & playing GOLF It's very smart .
Said this for years simulators inc trackman foresight are no way accurate in terms of carry distances etc ball speed at times fittings are great but you need to see the flight outdoor to truly know
Most of putting is being able to see and feel the terrain with a real horizon. Without it, optical illusions will reign. I don't know the solution, but I've never seen him putt that poorly.
This just requires tweaking. Tiger and his business partners know that as an essentially NEW sport, this will require some adjustment, some patience, and some belief. If it works it works, if it doesn't, then at least someone tried. Right now, the issue isn't with the golf (they'll get used to the man-made facilities), its with the customer experience (engagement) it feel like there's a divide between the action and the viewers. They'll figure it out. I hope this isn't 10 years before its time, because this is where golf will end up in 50 years. Just look at the Asian Sim-golf leagues.
He’s the leanest he’s been in years tbh, actually looks in shape. And if ur judging anyones golf game who is playing on a simulator that’s just dumb lol
The physics engine off a smudge

@@realhumanbeing6603exactly. Fckn -11 here I don't wanna hear any of that bs either.
Lol yea his money talks
Enjoy every minute
no way this is accurate, he would never hit the second shot like that in a million years
@@pitstopPHANTOM that’s because you suck at golf
Take the stick out. Good times

Yeah I totally agreed, but they are trained to be a stoic tournament golfer. Not everyone has the UA-cam golf personality like Bryson eh.
He clearly does not play on simulators, he is really struggling with his lines and distances
it makes good practice and looks like fun too with a shifting green that is too cool this not bad for a first night test run.
Well yeah, when you can play real golf everyday you would never play a simulator. Lol
Clearly you think your way better then hin

Definitely a LIV fan.

Gonna flop big time
Yep this is lame

Hes a feel player...the sim is a video game
@@cd-yq9ou that bunker shot was real putting was too.
He isn't old hello! He just doesn't practice anymore.
@@BigMike-q3vthis is tiger being a beauty. He owns golf
I’m 38….Tiger is a pillar of my life with sports. Much obliged my dude.
Except for the ‘transgressions’ part?
Wow. Tiger looked human today
love Tiger but hes looked human since 2008
This is like watching Tiger play his Tiger Woods video game in VR
He looks like he’s on the gas, dude is jacked.
On gawd. I was thinking the same thing
I was thinking the same thing! 💯
He's on TRT at the very least, no doubt.
I can’t see this being accurate, these guys don’t miss from under 100 yards very much at all.
Youd be surprised. Pga percentages and averages aren’t what youd think they would be. They’re human
@ Fair, as of today, it’s roughly 80% GIR from 100 yards and in. It just seemed very off on yardage. For example, when Tiger hit his 115 club 135. That doesn’t happen , ever.
I give this circus a ‘one and done’ life expectancy

So happy to see him out there with all the boys having fun
... was he having fun though?
This is like watching 2001 Michael Jordan but playing arcade pop a shot

You are 100% correct. I was telling my wife the same thing about it being forced. Glad I'm not the only one who got that.
It's a complete disaster.

It's a snore who gives a crap
he must have learned that from phil.
His swing has not looked this good in a long time... looked really good at the father son event too
These greens seem super wonky from the matches I've watched.
The future of every top golf ⛳️
top golf will be bk by 2026
the simulator is definitely off sync
this caption is crazy !
Nasty Work !!! 😂
I don’t get it. I’ve never wanted to tune into the next live golf tournament more than I do after trying to watch this event.
What is the TGL??? Never heard of it before
Indoor arena golf. Being developed by Tiger and Rory
Ask your dad
Google it for second. 😂

Father time is undefeated.

Also these matches have been blowouts so far. One team for whatever reason just cant adjust to the indoor golf and the short game area especially.
That green is not in any way natural. That will definitely take time to get used to and the synthetic surface makes it much harder to get speed right.
@chriskay1449 oh I know it's clearly tough adjustment because like I said half the teams are completely clueless on and around the greens. Pitching is off too cuz it doesn't check like it does on grass.
OH MY GOD I just had flashbacks of playing his golf game
The only thing that would make this better is if Charles Barkley commentating
I'm surprised he wasn't complaining about the music playing during his shots
Neither of the two shows I’ve seen yet have been competitive
This is like watching the CyberTruck debut...
Good to see him having some fun
I still would rather watch Tiger play even when he's losing then anybody else in the world

I'm shocked at how bad what surely must be thee top-of-the-line golf simulator is.
Bad how? Graphics?
Espn needs to pay Verne Lundquist or Jim the super max to call these matches
Those graphics look so 1980ish
I think I'd rather watch some drunk guy play Golden Tee Golf than this
This is not gonna last. Totally boring
Not even Tiger can make this popular.
TGL=DOA
you can tell Tiger is more accurate than the machine/simulators, it's just cruel to see him suffer..

They need to fix this ASAP. This won’t last longer than next week. It’s boring
We've come a long way since PONG. The graphics and simulation just don't seem ready from primetime at the moment. Better than TOP GOLF?
How do they get the sand off the green?
Vacuum
Does the green have a machine under it that makes it change each hole, or is it the same slope / terrain shape for every hole?
It has little padded things that can raise or lower the floor
This is terrible.
Unlucky uso ... u still da man uncle tiger
man I would love to play there!
It must be so different to real life. I have never seen Tiger miss putts by such a large margin.
Tigers a feel player and simulators destroy the feel of distance
What's totally incredible if you think about it here 🤔 TIGER still wants to play golf if he can't walk much anymore
But still has an incredible swing still holding up & competing
He's created a Coliseum to compete in
Incredible 👌👌
And I for one still love watching this incredible person & playing GOLF
It's very smart .
This should be like big3 for retired nba players
Those synthetic greens were fast. 😬
It’s amazing Tiger can even swing a golf club after all his surgeries. I really glad he’s back and enjoy himself playing.
Considering Tiger and Rory are the inventors of this, youd think Tiger wouldnt miss anything lol
man they were playing some solid music lol
I don’t think this sim is very accurate lol
Doc needs to up his T prescription a bit.
"PAUSE" - Dame Dash
Tiger seemed rly out of his element here
Said this for years simulators inc trackman foresight are no way accurate in terms of carry distances etc ball speed at times fittings are great but you need to see the flight outdoor to truly know
Is it the same green complex every hole?
wished he'd fit his mates w SDR.
I want one of these in my garage
Lov watchin TW hit shots...
Dis would be dope if they got there sip on! 🍻
U cant walk and wants to continue legendary? Lets golf on screen 🤣
If this is the future of golf, I'm taking up fishing.
Those people that just keep saying "let's go!" need to STFU
LETS GOOOOOO!
@lightinthedark33 That's so original. Your a funny, intelligent person.
People make millions playing PGA golf on XBOX or PS5. This is 100 percent better ijs.
So if you land in the sand in the virtual screen they just put the ball around the same spot in the bunker. Im so confused I wish I watched live
Bro could NOT putt! Even his mom was confused!
Most of putting is being able to see and feel the terrain with a real horizon. Without it, optical illusions will reign. I don't know the solution, but I've never seen him putt that poorly.
Watching sports is weird. Sports are to be played.
Watching somebody else watch themselves play sport is the end.

"Jacked Tiger" is not a "good at golf Tiger"

Tiger you gotta get LEAN dude!
He’s the leanest he’s been in years tbh, actually looks in shape. And if ur judging anyones golf game who is playing on a simulator that’s just dumb lol
wow Tiger Woods still got the goods! How many majors is he going to win this year? Watch our Jack!
how did he miss from 100yds wiutha wedge?
was the sim off - isnt this supposed to be super accurate?
When the heck did this become a thing? Had no idea professional competition has gone simulator.
This is dreadful
Tiger was way far from his comfort zone, it is messing up his distances
I watched the last 3 or 4 holes…. Its just weird
Let that be a real golf course...
Tiger struggling to putt is bad for TGL. Not sure if it was the surface or the reads but it didn't look right.
Can't get used to tiger in the white pants
the green was VERY inconsistent
The thumbnail pic of tiger ain’t it
in 10 years he will be playing in Greenland with polar bears around him
Rubbish
Where are the greens
No way tiger started limping after the drive into the bunker 🤣🤣🤣
Tuff to watch he’s losing the allure to be honest but he earned it
