    Tiger was at HIS best in early 2000s, but I am convinced that THIS is his best swing. Before his car accident everything looked perfect, so consistent, not reliant on his superior athleticism…it’s a swing that you can teach others, unlike his swing in his prime…love this!!!

      Tiger woods is what happens when you have ball striking like Scottie Scheffler but you are the greatest putter to ever live when the pressure is on. Tiger was great tee to green but his putting was on another level. That is how you make 142 cuts in a row.

    I might watch this video daily, the consistency with his ball striking and the effortless execution when he talks about a shot. Hitting cuts and High draws with the 4 iron. Then flights the 4 iron and he said “that’s easy if you want to impress me hit a high one off that lie” he proceeded to do it while talking…”how’s that” 🤯

    I've seen Tiger warm up a few times in tournaments over the years, even when he was junior playing at the Byron Nelson. It's hard to describe just how good his ball striking is on the range, the sound, the flight, the rhythm, the mechanics, the balance, and the fact that he does it with those thin little blades. Video just doesn't do it justice, but it's still great to watch.

    Everything pros can do to alter their shots, it's really impressive. You must have a real lock on your baseline, stock setup and shot. Like changing face closed or open for draw or fade, you gotta know where square is to do that. And be able to hit draws with the open face, then go back to square for a stock shot. Crazy good feel. And Tiger has always been a tremendous feel player

    I'd want to know what shithousery Tiger uses in a round to mess with the heads of the others in grouping. I'd be in Rory's ear, 'Man Utd are shite' as he's about to tee it up, or tut tut within earshot of Sheffler when he pulls out a 5 iron on a par 3. Come on Tiger, gives us a glimpse into some of your game playing, I'd be disappointed if you didn't throw some flex in there for shits and giggles
