What would you think of Tiger if you found out that every one of his wins were predetermined and scripted/rigged??? Gematria Effect Sports has been exposing FAKE SPORTS for over 8 years already! #WakeyWakeyJoogsquad #YouAreBeingPlayedForAFool #RiggedSports
Followed him in Phx in 1996 and started golfing. I was 33 and got hooked. Wow.........here we are 27 years later, Im 59 and a 3 hcp. Never would've started golfing if not for him. Thanks Tiger!
I was 13 when he won the 1997 Masters. Been hooked since too. I’m 40 now! I’m so grateful for the game of golf and getting to see the GOAT. I liked your comment. It’s amazing the impact he has had on so many lives.
I have as much respect for Jack Nicklaus as you could possibly have. But when you look at all of the stats in the special, you cannot say Jack is the goat just because he has three more majors. As much as majors mean to an overall career, it is not the only metric to be considered the GOAT. From weeks at number one, to consecutive cuts made, to the amount of seasons with five or more wins, to his overall win percentage to tournaments played, I just can’t see that there is a question that Tiger is the greatest, most dominant golfer to ever play the game.
Keep in mind all of his injuries that he has sustained, from his wife hitting him with the golf club to so many more injuries he has encountered. In spite of it all he’s so resilient 🙏🏽💯❤️
Sappy comment incoming: I started watching golf with my grandfather more than 25 years ago. Watching Tiger grab victory after victory was something we rooted for together. My poppop is no longer with me, but I know when Tiger is playing, he's watching from above with me, and we're cheering him on together to this day. Tiger is the reason I love the game of golf and gave me a bond with my poppop that transcends life. I may not be a great golfer myself, but I always make sure I give a big Tiger fist pump every time I make a nice putt! Keep at it big guy! We're always here cheering you on!
loved the story, thanks for sharing. I held my 4 month old daughter sobbing in front of the TV when he won the masters in 2019 telling her we won't ever see something like this again. She won't remember, but I will never forget it.
👏👏Tiger is the reason that I started playing the game. I always tuned in to watch Tiger play even though I never picked up a club growing up. Growing up kids like me never dreamed of playing golf because of the stigma it had of being a rich white man sport. Tiger broke that barrier. Seeing a guy dominate with my complexion and ethnic background was an inspiration. So the moment that I could afford clubs came I saved up my money bought some clubs off craigslist and began to grind like I did learning to play basketball or boxing. Years later, I'm passing the love of the game to my son.
he was well on his way to going well beyond the century mark in wins, and winning 24+ majors in his career until he messed himself up. he was better off staying single. even with those injuries, he would have the majors record and 100+ wins. Within the first 10 years, he amassed 46 wins (10 majors), more than mickelson has done his entire career. that's unlikely to be duplicated in our lifetimes. And winning four straight majors (though it's not the calendar slam, as he finished -4, 6 shots back of singh in the 2000 masters, tied for 5th), i doubt we'll see that again. sadly, jack's majors record will never be broken, and i don't see tiger breaking the tie with sam snead.
Hardest working athlete of all time. He deserves every win he has. He’s overcome more injuries than anyone in the game. And every player and fan owes the growth of the game to Tiger.
@@annagraham6204 yeah that was 1 accident. Tiger’s car wreck was comparable, but then you have to add in the 3 knee injuries and surgery 2008-11 and 3 back surgeries since 2011. Tiger has overcome more than anyone else.
@@LegendJeff Ben Hogan more legendary, head on collision with a bus and comes back to continue WINNING majors. Something Tiger can only dream of at this point.
Simply the BEST !! Wow, I'm emotional just watching this!! In the words of your late father Earl.. " Tiger, let LEGEND grow "... Continued prayer 🙏🏾 that your health is restored so that there is one last Stretch of Greatness displayed by the G.O.A.T. / The Needle....🏌🏿⛳️
With all his faults, not to say we overlook them, but no one can dispute his contribution to this amazing game. Same with Hogan, Nicklaus, etc. But this "Tiger Effect" is why golfers today make the money that they do. Not sure this sport would be this lucrative without Tiger.
Respect Woods,but I think he has been hyped up way too much. His off course behaviour has tarnished his legacy and lot of people overlook that. Other player achievements were overlooked because of Tiger hype.
Jeez i love that man and hope he get's his 83rd win and *a few* more majors! He's in such great shape, it's hard to imagine him not getting another win.
It would be nice to see him win again, but it isn't going to happen. Then senior tour and a riding cart are three short years away - he will start winning again on that tour if he wants to.
Like most pros and players who grew up watching Tiger Woods, there is nothing like his ferocious competitive spirit, swagger on the course, and just overall passion for the game. We all inherited all of it and now the game of golf is better for it!
Learning that Tiger is an only child makes him extremely relatable, as I am also an only child. I played almost all the EA PGA Tour games as a kid, and Golf was the first sport I ever learned how to play. I hope I can continue to play, and practice, and improve enough to make it more than just a hobby, and I can't wait to get back on the course tomorrow. 🤘🏻
I've been watching golf with my dad since the 70's. The Masters back when Nicklasus won in 86. I played high school golf. Tiger was a monsoon in the sport. Inspired so many golfers like Finau. I even took my dad to see him play RIveria.
Watching Tiger at Genesis this year was one of the best expereinces in my lifetime. Free unlimited Michelobs at the RIV was amazing. Also Jon Rahm is having an unbelievable season. I watched him at us open and at farmers open at torrey pines and he signed for every single fan before he left. It was awesome to see.
I always got a ball and ran into guys or through them. If it weren't for Tiger I would have never learned just how physical and mentally challenging golf is. The Tiger effect... I felt it!
As a kid growing up with that tiger head cover to sitting in front of 18 green at Torrey south all Sunday on a special Sunday in the summer of 2008 I can safely say no golfer will touch the hearts of jr golfers across the world like tiger did. The GOAT🐐
I saw him live about 15 times starting in 97 at Disney. It gave me chills to see him play at Augusta which I was lucky enough to win tickets in the lottery once. It was amazing how good he was and still is tv not even close. He will get 83 if it kills him
I’m the same age as Tiger and watched almost every one of his wins. Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, and Mike Tyson all took their sports the next level and way beyond that. They are all G.O.A.T’s.
Michael phelps quoting “remembering every detail and being 5 steps ahead of you’ was the exact same mentality he had while swimming. Goat recognising goat 🏌🏿🏊♂️
Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer of all time. He changed the sport and the Tiger effect is the reason golfers make as much money as they do today. Tiger is the GOAT 🐐
I gotta say - when I started playing in 2021, a picture of a golfer for me is Tiger Woods. I didn't know Rory, I didn't Jack, I didn't know Hogan, I didn't know Bubba, Faldo, or Old Tom. But Tiger was the cornerstone and icon that made golf interesting to literally everyone. Arguably the G(a)OAT.
I feel really fortunate to have started playing golf a few years before Tiger turned pro. I got interested in this sport the year prior to 'Long' John Daly's win at the '91 PGA, as the golf world gained an unlikely hero who could hit the ball a country mile. I also have clear memories of Fred Couple's Master's win in '92 along with Norman's collapse in '96. There wasn't, however, a dominant force in the game until news of a young amateur named Tiger Woods began to filter through the golf grapevine. Unless you subscribed to Golf Magazine, news of his U.S. Amateur victories didn't become widely reported until the Golf Channel first aired in '95. I remember watching the last of his 3 U.S. Am victories in '95 and '96 and being intensely interested in the press conference that followed. After a huge offer from Nike worth $40 million, Tiger announced 'Hello World' which created quite the uproar among many of the then established PGA Tour pros who felt no golfer was worth that amount of money. Some PGA players were clearly jealous, or dismissive, of his talent - either upset when reporters only asked questions about Tiger or that he was coming off as too cocky - arrogant even. In fact, after Tiger declared his intention to win every tournament he entered, Curtis Strange famously stated, 'he'll learn.' Well, Curtis learned - as we all did - never to dismiss Tiger Woods. As fans, we watched every tournament he entered with those same expectations. Of course he didn't win them all, but rarely was he not in the mix. From behind the ropes at the '97 Byron Nelson, I vividly remember watching a young Tiger prowl the fairway on his way to winning that year (on the heals of his first Master's victory). Before Tiger entered the arena, the Nelson was always more of a party than a spectator event - but not this year, as the entire gallery seemed to realize they were witnessing not only greatness, but someone who would ultimately change the face of golf as they understood it. I doubt I will ever again witness this kind of dominance in golf, but I feel extremely lucky to have 'been there' along with a golfing generation who will always consider Tiger the one and only true GOAT!
Well said, you pretty much said everything that I've been saying for the last 25 or so years. I'm only 37 years old, and became a lifelong fan of Tiger at the 1997 Masters when I was just 11 years old at the time. What you said, is so true, I can still remember all the hate Tiger got back in the 90's and even into the 2000's as well. To me, what I find kinda strange is, for some reason, many people did not embrace Tiger in golf, the way everyone seemed to embrace other sports icons like Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Jerry Rice, Michael Phelps etc etc etc. I remember in the Summer of 2000, when I was just 14 years old, I was at my local golf club pretty much every day golfing and hanging out, and it seemed like everyone at my club hated it whenever Tiger would win another major, and he dominated that Summer in 2000. To be fair, it could have something to do with the fact that I live in Ohio, and everyone knows that Ohio is Jack Nicklaus's home and stomping grounds lol. I just feel like lots and lots of people missed out on just enjoying the brilliance and genius of Tiger Woods, because they were too busy trying to diminish his accomplishments. I also feel like people became way too obsessed with constantly comparing Tiger to Jack, instead of just enjoying the amazing golf that Tiger was playing, they always had to keep counting his majors and comparing him with Jack. It got so bad that it felt like you were either on Team Tiger's side, or Team Jack's side, and that's not how golf or sports in general should be. When Michael Jordan was doing his thing and winning rings and awards, nobody was saying well Jordan still doesn't have 11 rings like Bill Russell lol, but with Tiger, everyone is always keeping track of exactly how many wins and majors he has.
I was there with you, read Golf mag, remember the hate, death threats, even anger of his competitors and the commentators- and then ESPN came - and they all loved the new spotlight on Golf and their new bigger purses 💰 and accepted him. All of them knew he was better and I was upset because where he first started out waving to fans and throwing him his golf ball, they changed him. But he just kept winning and winning and winning despite all of that and that is really what made him a champ - winning when it was expected and when it wasn’t- incredible shots, always at the right time. He’s not just the greatest of all time in golf but in sport.
@@justinexplainseverything1554perfectly stated and my exact memory and you will see these same haters come to YT videos about Tiger just to say Jack this and that - deep down they know the truth but they lie to themselves to get by - wishing for the great white hope - however, even Jack has said Tiger is better than him and has done things he’d never be able to do. Instead of looking at him as an athlete, they see a competitor to their white savior. It’s tragic that they never watched Tiger as just a pure athlete
As someone who is now 30, the amount of times I booted up Tiger Woods PGA 1999, 2000, and 2001 idolizing him is crazy. 23 years later, I am now getting super into actual golf and I still look back at his best moments for inspiration!
I watched him at the Ryder Cup 2010 @ The Celtic Manor. Even a High Five on the tee. USA team: Tiger, Cink, Furyk, Mickelson, Stricker, Mahan, Bubba , DJ, Overton. It was awesome. Rebook the plane flight to Tuesday. The final day was delayed to Monday due to the weather. I’ll never forget it.
Tiger is my all-sprots GOAT. He was the player I would write school papers about in middle school and high school. One of a kind athlete whos done more for his sport than any other athlete ever has.
You sound like the man to ask.... but do you know when Tiger played his last Tournament?? And do you know if he'll ever play another one?? That's the thing with Tiger, even at his age and even with all his injuries, if Tiger's in the lineup.... he has a chance. He's THAT good..
I will say going and watching the pros play is well worth it to me, you just can’t tell how good these guys are at golf, i mean just the sound of one of their drivers hitting a ball is totally different than anything I’ve herd, and is just amazing to see these guys and just be close to it and feel the power, see it and even hear it, if you have never been I recommend it forsure
The 3 Hall of game careers part made me say "damn". I've always known his win totals and stats but not thought about that kind of breakdown. If any golfer had any of those winning periods they would have to be in the hall of fame
The 4 guys dressed like tiger at the 3:40 min mark..the one on the far left, I think is Ezra Aderhold. A professional disc golfer. Or at least his doppelgänger
As dominant as he was, just think how much time he has missed between injuries/divorce/scandal. Only 3 wins after 2013. His records could have been astronomical!
Do you realize why his scandals are so scandalous? Because he is Tiger the black guy who was almost forbidden to play on the country club courses, but ended up beating everyone's brain to pulp. That way he made a lot of enemies. What he did is not new, it has been done before and still is! Most people are not caught, some get caught but because they are so big nothing sticks. Jesus asked whoever had never done it to get a stone and hit that woman and none did! See!!!
Tiger is the reason I golf regularly. My dad is the reason I started. But without Tiger, my interest would have waned years ago I think. He's only a couple years older than me, so watching him at the age I was when he started taking the world over, it was just so impactful. I hate that his body has betrayed him so much over the years because I think he would have had 20 majors or more by now. Regardless, in my mind he's the GOAT.
I love this content because a ton of new golfers do not understand just how great this man was. You put him in his prime against Rahm, Scotty, Rory he still would have a record similar to where it was now, he just wouldn’t have won by 4-8 shots it would be 1-4 shots. I don’t think it’s a money grab to pump tiger but really just reminding everyone how great he was. Legends never die.
I'm glad he's able to play even occasionally but look at his eyes - pain pain pain is what I see. Constant never ending physical tortuous pain. His body is too broken to ever get another PGA win but he is still the modern GOAT, and I'm glad to see him happier with himself and his family life.
Jack may have won more majors but look what tiger has achieved.His style of playing the game was amazing.There will never be any better golfers than tiger and jack
There are a lot of great participants in any sport, but very few that capture the imagination. Tiger just has a way of drawing people towards him, you're fascinated by how he's going to get on during a tournament, good or bad. In his prime, regular PGA Tour events partly felt like majors.
Tiger just dominated the game, and when he needed time be clutch, he consistantly delivered like no other athlete could. I would even argue Michael Jordan was less clutch, which is a huge statement and almost impossible to type.
I'm 52 years old and almost 30 years I hava been starting the round by saying "Ok, now it will be the Tiger round". Well, still waiting for that but it puts me to the right mindset😊
Entertainment golf is something people believe in. It takes so much skill. His mastery of a game of sport - that happens to be amazing and entertaining.
All respect to Jack, but Tiger is the goat of golf. If he never had injuries and personal issues, he would likely have won at least 5 more majors and several other events.
Glad i got see him at sedgefield in 2015, took my godfather as well, because he never thought he would see tiger in person, but tiger did give him a thumbs up when rode by us as we heading back to the shuttle, it made his day, i've being playing this game since i was 4years old, and i tell people i'm tiger woods , but he has more advantages than me , we laugh about it all the time. I 'm grateful & glad that i witnessed greatness at his finest. So when i'm on the course my mindset is like tiger, we're boys off the course, but on it i'm cut throat , truly the goat in my era.🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Thank you for the moments. Thank you for the contributions to golf. But, lets not forget what Tiger did to himself, and to his family. This man is no hero. This man is no role model, and we should not be celebrating him as such.
I don't care what anyone says. Tiger is the GOAT. Not just for his wins, but the fact that he inspired so many people to take up the game, including me. And he inspired so many people to just watch the game even though they never played the game. People forget, he has 82 PGA Tour wins and 41 European Tour wins. Tiger has over 40 records to his name. And has 3 Junior Amateur Titles and 3 U.S. Amateur titles. All in a row. But the best I ever heard was from Colin Montgomery. I can't remember which Major, but it was in Tigers early days. Colin was paired to play with Tiger in the 3rd round. When the press asked Colin what he thought, he stated, well I have more experience, better course management and know how to win. After Tiger blew him away, they again asked Colin what he thought, and he stated, there is only one Golfer out there who will be holding the trophy tomorrow, and that is Tiger. Colin could not believe how Tiger was good at everything in golf. Colin stated, Tiger had no weaknesses on the course. And he was right, Tiger went on to win. Jack was great, but Tiger ascended him, not in Major wins, but inspiring people. And I will add this, Golf is a bloody hard game. I don't think there is a harder game in the world than Golf.
Watched him put on 3 green jackets live in my life.

Before Tiger entered the arena, the Nelson was always more of a party than a spectator event - but not this year, as the entire gallery seemed to realize they were witnessing not only greatness, but someone who would ultimately change the face of golf as they understood it. I doubt I will ever again witness this kind of dominance in golf, but I feel extremely lucky to have 'been there' along with a golfing generation who will always consider Tiger the one and only true GOAT!
Well said, you pretty much said everything that I've been saying for the last 25 or so years. I'm only 37 years old, and became a lifelong fan of Tiger at the 1997 Masters when I was just 11 years old at the time. What you said, is so true, I can still remember all the hate Tiger got back in the 90's and even into the 2000's as well. To me, what I find kinda strange is, for some reason, many people did not embrace Tiger in golf, the way everyone seemed to embrace other sports icons like Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Jerry Rice, Michael Phelps etc etc etc.
I remember in the Summer of 2000, when I was just 14 years old, I was at my local golf club pretty much every day golfing and hanging out, and it seemed like everyone at my club hated it whenever Tiger would win another major, and he dominated that Summer in 2000. To be fair, it could have something to do with the fact that I live in Ohio, and everyone knows that Ohio is Jack Nicklaus's home and stomping grounds lol. I just feel like lots and lots of people missed out on just enjoying the brilliance and genius of Tiger Woods, because they were too busy trying to diminish his accomplishments.
I also feel like people became way too obsessed with constantly comparing Tiger to Jack, instead of just enjoying the amazing golf that Tiger was playing, they always had to keep counting his majors and comparing him with Jack. It got so bad that it felt like you were either on Team Tiger's side, or Team Jack's side, and that's not how golf or sports in general should be. When Michael Jordan was doing his thing and winning rings and awards, nobody was saying well Jordan still doesn't have 11 rings like Bill Russell lol, but with Tiger, everyone is always keeping track of exactly how many wins and majors he has.
I was there with you, read Golf mag, remember the hate, death threats, even anger of his competitors and the commentators- and then ESPN came - and they all loved the new spotlight on Golf and their new bigger purses 💰 and accepted him. All of them knew he was better and I was upset because where he first started out waving to fans and throwing him his golf ball, they changed him. But he just kept winning and winning and winning despite all of that and that is really what made him a champ - winning when it was expected and when it wasn’t- incredible shots, always at the right time. He’s not just the greatest of all time in golf but in sport.
@@justinexplainseverything1554perfectly stated and my exact memory and you will see these same haters come to YT videos about Tiger just to say Jack this and that - deep down they know the truth but they lie to themselves to get by - wishing for the great white hope - however, even Jack has said Tiger is better than him and has done things he’d never be able to do. Instead of looking at him as an athlete, they see a competitor to their white savior. It’s tragic that they never watched Tiger as just a pure athlete
Tiger you’re just the best..the 🐐!!!!
As someone who is now 30, the amount of times I booted up Tiger Woods PGA 1999, 2000, and 2001 idolizing him is crazy. 23 years later, I am now getting super into actual golf and I still look back at his best moments for inspiration!
Do you want me to give you lessons ?
Simply The Greatest of All Time🐐
In regards to everything with in this video and everyone involved including Tiger, WELL DONE!
I watched him at the Ryder Cup 2010 @ The Celtic Manor. Even a High Five on the tee. USA team: Tiger, Cink, Furyk, Mickelson, Stricker, Mahan, Bubba , DJ, Overton. It was awesome. Rebook the plane flight to Tuesday. The final day was delayed to Monday due to the weather. I’ll never forget it.
Tiger gave me a high five once at a Buick Open. Changed my damn life.
Amazing video ,lots of effort put in , tiger the 🐐!
My alltime Goat!
Glad to say I have watched him win 3 events, I know that's not a lot but at least it's something
It's a lot in my book; most can never make that statement. Consider yourself one of the lucky one!!
Tiger is my all-sprots GOAT. He was the player I would write school papers about in middle school and high school. One of a kind athlete whos done more for his sport than any other athlete ever has.
One of the few athletes so dominant, so influential, they transcend the sport. Tiger, MJ, Ruth, Ali.
No Brady? C’mon man! 😅
@@p.w.f.did Brady transcend football? No lol
great documentary,, thank you
The greatest of all time. My single favorite athlete of all time. WHAT A RIDE... That isn't over yet!
You sound like the man to ask.... but do you know when Tiger played his last Tournament?? And do you know if he'll ever play another one??
That's the thing with Tiger, even at his age and even with all his injuries, if Tiger's in the lineup.... he has a chance. He's THAT good..
he is done
@@willstuart4504
I hope that you're right!!!
Tiger is in the twilight years of his career. Let's just enjoy it while it lasts
Tiger - the Great Golfer! Nothing more needs to be said. Supportive father.
I will say going and watching the pros play is well worth it to me, you just can’t tell how good these guys are at golf, i mean just the sound of one of their drivers hitting a ball is totally different than anything I’ve herd, and is just amazing to see these guys and just be close to it and feel the power, see it and even hear it, if you have never been I recommend it forsure
And on top of all this, he seems to be a genuinely nice guy.
Wife agrees
@@nignog2227😂
hope you're not on the road when he's pilling and crashing into things
Surely just sarcasm
@@nignog2227 Remember Tiger is the only divorcee in America!
The 3 Hall of game careers part made me say "damn". I've always known his win totals and stats but not thought about that kind of breakdown. If any golfer had any of those winning periods they would have to be in the hall of fame
WOW! Thank you for your support!
Rhambo is a great player! He also gives great tips on how to approach the ball in a different way - especially if your swing is not the greatest yet.
Tiger whoops him easy .
Tiger is simply the best golfer to ever play the game of golf by far. Period.
LOVE YOU, TIGER !
That was incredible. Thank you
The 4 guys dressed like tiger at the 3:40 min mark..the one on the far left, I think is Ezra Aderhold. A professional disc golfer. Or at least his doppelgänger
🙋
@@EzraAderholdDG lol..awesome!!
The Goat of Goats
Greatest of all time!
As dominant as he was, just think how much time he has missed between injuries/divorce/scandal. Only 3 wins after 2013.
His records could have been astronomical!
Do you realize why his scandals are so scandalous?
Because he is Tiger the black guy who was almost forbidden to play on the country club courses, but ended up beating everyone's brain to pulp.
That way he made a lot of enemies.
What he did is not new, it has been done before and still is!
Most people are not caught, some get caught but because they are so big nothing sticks.
Jesus asked whoever had never done it to get a stone and hit that woman and none did!
See!!!
But that made his 2019 masters all the more special
He’s my man! He is the golf’s name! I sure miss him tremendously. 💕
Tiger is the reason I golf regularly. My dad is the reason I started. But without Tiger, my interest would have waned years ago I think. He's only a couple years older than me, so watching him at the age I was when he started taking the world over, it was just so impactful. I hate that his body has betrayed him so much over the years because I think he would have had 20 majors or more by now. Regardless, in my mind he's the GOAT.
As a huge Tiger fan who got me into the game, he's done competitively. But he's still the man of the sport and the GOAT.
Will and talents at peak =priceless
I love this content because a ton of new golfers do not understand just how great this man was. You put him in his prime against Rahm, Scotty, Rory he still would have a record similar to where it was now, he just wouldn’t have won by 4-8 shots it would be 1-4 shots. I don’t think it’s a money grab to pump tiger but really just reminding everyone how great he was. Legends never die.
He's an animal! Enjoyed
I'm glad he's able to play even occasionally but look at his eyes - pain pain pain is what I see. Constant never ending physical tortuous pain. His body is too broken to ever get another PGA win but he is still the modern GOAT, and I'm glad to see him happier with himself and his family life.
He. Will. Win. Again.
I sincerely hope so!!!
Tiger and Charlie ♥️♥️♥️
Jack may have won more majors but look what tiger has achieved.His style of playing the game was amazing.There will never be any better golfers than tiger and jack
There are a lot of great participants in any sport, but very few that capture the imagination. Tiger just has a way of drawing people towards him, you're fascinated by how he's going to get on during a tournament, good or bad. In his prime, regular PGA Tour events partly felt like majors.
Jack is the real goat going by majors!
Thank you! 🙂
So cool of us as a society to name a strong and fierce animal after him ;)
683 is so insane. Legend
Going to be a lot of tears shed when this man hangs his shoes up
I will have to take to my bed for at least a week!
Great video 🔥🔥🔥
He was an inspiration.
Tiger just dominated the game, and when he needed time be clutch, he consistantly delivered like no other athlete could. I would even argue Michael Jordan was less clutch, which is a huge statement and almost impossible to type.
Golf wouldnt be the same without Tiger Woods.
One of the best athletes EVER.
I'm 52 years old and almost 30 years I hava been starting the round by saying "Ok, now it will be the Tiger round". Well, still waiting for that but it puts me to the right mindset😊
Great stuff!
Entertainment golf is something people believe in. It takes so much skill. His mastery of a game of sport - that happens to be amazing and entertaining.
that miles walked stat was one of the craziest ive seen.
All respect to Jack, but Tiger is the goat of golf. If he never had injuries and personal issues, he would likely have won at least 5 more majors and several other events.
Ezra Aderhold popping in at 3:41 :)
Glad i got see him at sedgefield in 2015, took my godfather as well, because he never thought he would see tiger in person, but tiger did give him a thumbs up when rode by us as we heading back to the shuttle, it made his day, i've being playing this game since i was 4years old, and i tell people i'm tiger woods , but he has more advantages than me , we laugh about it all the time. I 'm grateful & glad that i witnessed greatness at his finest. So when i'm on the course my mindset is like tiger, we're boys off the course, but on it i'm cut throat , truly the goat in my era.🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Mozart of golf 🔥🥇🐐
Thank you for the moments. Thank you for the contributions to golf. But, lets not forget what Tiger did to himself, and to his family. This man is no hero. This man is no role model, and we should not be celebrating him as such.
I don't care what anyone says. Tiger is the GOAT. Not just for his wins, but the fact that he inspired so many people to take up the game, including me. And he inspired so many people to just watch the game even though they never played the game.
People forget, he has 82 PGA Tour wins and 41 European Tour wins. Tiger has over 40 records to his name. And has 3 Junior Amateur Titles and 3 U.S. Amateur titles. All in a row.
But the best I ever heard was from Colin Montgomery. I can't remember which Major, but it was in Tigers early days. Colin was paired to play with Tiger in the 3rd round. When the press asked Colin what he thought, he stated, well I have more experience, better course management and know how to win. After Tiger blew him away, they again asked Colin what he thought, and he stated, there is only one Golfer out there who will be holding the trophy tomorrow, and that is Tiger. Colin could not believe how Tiger was good at everything in golf. Colin stated, Tiger had no weaknesses on the course. And he was right, Tiger went on to win. Jack was great, but Tiger ascended him, not in Major wins, but inspiring people. And I will add this, Golf is a bloody hard game. I don't think there is a harder game in the world than Golf.
It was the 1997 Masters
@@cypherlock01 Thanks for the reminder. Cheers
Ezra Aderhold in the crowd! Clash of golf and disc golf worlds!
Michael Phelps just casually has the longest recorded putt of all time along with... his Olympic Gold medals.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but mine is that Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer of all time.
nice job will
I watched golf as far back as Phil Mickelson and Fred Couples, but Tiger Woods is the reason I picked up a set of clubs and played.
UNCLE 🐯 the 🐐
