It sucks that people soon forget that with a prime Tiger in the field, every other player was looking at second place money. Golf needs this guy, and golf knows it.
I've been to quite a lot of golf tournaments, they are so great. I followed Tiger on a few holes but what I won't EVER forget is standing behind him on a par five, no one between him and me and my mate, and he unleashed a driver that is emblazoned on my brain. I'm a sports nut and been to many different sports tournaments but that moment was the number 1.
I have been and always will be a huge Tiger fan. I started golfing on the regular about three years ago and it adds another level of appreciation. We were all lucky to have been able to see these shots.
I miss him so much. He was the greatest in the game and there will never be another Tiger Woods. His personality, mental game, swagger, determination, practice ethic, and talent...how can that ever be matched again?
The amount of hard work tiger has put into the game of golf is incredible and to think that he still at times to this very day can pull off the impossible
I played Pebble the week before and I assure you it was like nothing i had ever seen. You literally would watch your ball roll into it and would spend 10 min's looking for what was rt in front of you.
There will never be another! Not in my life time! To bring such a presence every time he walked on the course! Really is amazing what he has accomplished!
I didn't realize you were on the mini tour! If I said that correctly. If not I apologize! If so, I wish you all the luck! From my past golfing days, luck had a lot to do with it! I will keep an eye out for you on the regular tour! Best wishes!
I was part of Tigers security team for a few days when he played in Shanghai back about 2005. He does not look it on TV but he is really buff. Really solidly built. I understand how he can drive that far now.
Yeah, I always knew Tiger had both strength and control in spades, but I didn't realize JUST how strong until I saw his physique. His traps, lats, and lumbar muscles are MASSIVE. Reminds me of both Christian Ronaldo and Lewis Hamilton, actually.
yeh it is totally insane, i don't think i could do that even if I knew BEFORE making my swing. Let alone MID swing. however, it seems a little dumb, just hit the shot. could have caused a lot of damage to himself. still incredible though.
“Think strength is not an advantage, it’s just not a fair fight” is what Roger Maltbie said, he mentioned it in an interview a few years back. Definitely doesn’t sound like that on the interview though haha
It was probably a little better than this, since people had to record some of these clips and the recording software was trash going back even 10 years ago. Can’t imagine what it might look like in 20 years though, seems almost inconceivable that the HD today might be laughable to the next generation
@@GusLascola So long as we stay on the same medium (television, 2d surface, etc), it shouldn't really change too noticeably. We're quickly reaching a ceiling where adding more pixels into the image isn't going to make a noticeable difference in quality. What's probably going to be subject to the most change is no longer image quality but instead how that quality is displayed.
Brian Bethea that’s what I think too. It’s not even the technological limit it’s that we’re approaching the quality that our eyes can differentiate changes in. But in 50 years you’d think the viewing experience would have some radical change (VR maybe?)
Gus Lascola yes. VR and other external stimuli( smell and feel). Possibly holographic video or higher quality 3D. Videos where you control the direction of the story. Who knows. Virtual flight with quadcopters is bad ass. I haven’t experience much VR. But what I’ve seen is pretty impressive.
I've had the pleasure of watching tiger for four years in a row at the bridgestone in akron. The sound of the strikes and the sound from the flight of the ball when he hits is given no true justice on tv.
Tiger was fearless in his 20’s and attempted those impossible shots because his body was much more limber and forgiving. The combination of building muscle mass, applying that crazy torque and an aging body add up to a wrecked back. He paid the price for his reckless youth but gave us some incredible and historic golf moments. Thanks Tiger. 👍🏼
Read the latest biography on him by Jeff Benedict. Really delves into his whole life story and gives an excellent glimpse into WHY and HOW his body broke down and what he did to avoid it, ignore it, then finally deal with it and treat it. Amazing read that was the only thing keeping me up at night during long overnight stints as an air traffic controller.
I truly believe this, if Tiger just kept his regular body ; the body he had in the early years of his success, like in 97 thru 2000, or so.. Tigers body began to look like that of a strong safety, around I think about 2005 or 06 and he still had wins left in him , but I don't think he ever reached the majestic heights that he reached in 2000-2002, It seemed that when his body was that of a regular golfer, he was other worldly, when he bulked up his game just never reached those levels like in the beginning.
Great and true video. The stoping in the down swing has always blown my mind! I have trouble resetting my set up on a drive that doesn’t feel right. Stoping down swing!? No friggin way!
I was walking with Tiger as a volunteer at Firestone for that last shot. He sprayed it all over that day and still shot 69. He hit an even more impressive SW on 9 that day from behind 2 large oaks thru a hole about 5x5ft in the canopy and dropped it on the green.
Tiger IS the GOAT! Literally legitimized golf as a sport of athletes instead of flubby duffing couch potatoes. Course managers and equipment manufacturers all tried to stop him by doing the best they could to not only impede his onslaught but also level the playing field...if werent for the quick progression of tech during Tiger's era nobody would've been able to keep up with his athleticism and creativity...
People who have never played golf or stopped to think about what is required to do these shots don't really realize just how exceptional some of these shots really are. The level of feeling and control you must have to deliver these shots with that accuracy is just insane
I use to pull against tiger woods just bc I liked pulling for the underdogs but as I’ve gotten older it’s turned into respect. He done, does things with the golf ball that NOBODY will every do again. And he made it look effortless.
4:13 once in my life I want my tee shot to sound like this. Also, hitting it into the green in a PGA event before the group ahead has vacated the green is a huge flex🤣
My accuracy with my driver is pretty bad. About 1 in 5 is a good shot. 2 of the bad ones are usually a slice 2 are usually a short one as I clip it. But I swing for the fences every time and it feels worth it for that 1 in 5 where I absolutely annihilate the ball and get around 300 yards carry. The sound it makes and the feeling you get is incredible
Worth every cent to be at the golf and close by to HEAR the noise when a really great player strikes the ball. It is different and a great thing to witness
His shots and some of the other pro's, you just know it's good by the sound. My god I could watch shots like these 10 times over, can never get tired of it.
Think it was the pga against Bob May, Tiger pulled a bunker shot from 190 or so think 9 iron . Stuck it inside of Mays 2nd shot. Both 2nd shots were nice but Tigers was great. Bob May played his ass off in that tournament but still couldn't beat Tiger.
@@maninblack9850 right, dealing with the change in the publics' perspective of you would have been rough, but I imagine he got over that in a year tops. The problem was and is his health. Look at the video we just watched. He's like Rob Gronkowski of the patriots. They both pushed their gifts to maximum effort, and that comes with a cost. The price you pay is in the latter part of your career, your health will become a weekly struggle. In a way, they gave up longevity for dominance, and that's what made them legends. Hopefully, they've picked up some tricks along the way so they can continue to play for a while yet. Selfishly I want to watch legendary athletes continue to play as long as they can.
@joe johnson he trained like a navy seal. He had a very strict training regimen. golfweek.usatoday.com/2018/02/13/tiger-woods-old-daily-training-routine-will-leave-you-breathless/ He also had a very physical style of play where when he was in his Prime he'd go for the home run ball everytime. If he hit the ball into the rough he'd take out a pound of sod on his next swing to get the ball to the green. It work most of the time. That violent swing and overall approach to the game didnt lend itself towards having a long career. Same goes for Gronk, he never ran out of bounds, he always gave every play 100 percent effort which drove me nuts. But You ask anybody what golfer or tight end theyd have for a 10 year window and everybody would take Tiger and Gronk.
It's a sad thought that we may never again see Tiger at this level again. Great romancing the stone stories from legendary announcers. Thanks for the memories. I watched a good third of them on TV and managed to see his Pebble Beach heroics in the Open some years back.
They said from the beginning of his career that the only person that would be capable of beating him is himself. It seems that's how all legends go out.
For the few that have played or just walked Pebble that second shot on number 6 was insane out of that thick rough through the heavy damp air of the beach I just don't think there's many players who could pull that off besides Tiger.
Being one that totally agrees with all the comments of Tiger's greatness, it is most unfortunate that what really took out his game was a broken heart and massive regret. The physical was second to his demise. Conversely, it's great and even more admirable to his humility, love of the game and ascent [back] to the top. Amazing to watch and I do so with huge respect!
These highlight reels don't show the total picture of Tiger's fearlessness when it came to risk and reward. He was never perfect. He would miss. But he was a grinder. Always rose to the challenge. Fed off it. And it was his ability to escape danger that made him such an unstoppable force. The punches, low hooks around trees, threading the needle, the short game, the putting, the lag putting, hitting off pine straw, long bunker shots etc. etc. So glad I got to see him play live a few times in the early 2000s.
He's paid the price for these shots with his back problems though...especially when he stops the swing half way through...but he is the best I have ever seen!!
Tiger has definitely had to adjust his game to more of a “golfer” nowadays. I didn’t get to watch him live in action, but I loved his young gun mentality where it’s like “lay up? Nah fuck it I’m going to try and hole this from 190 yards out” lol. He had that mindset where he really really wanted to prove he was the best, and he did by destroying everyone with a couple of the most absurd golf shots ever.
Another one of your great videos. I have enjoyed your channel tremendously since discovering a few months ago. Now, when I spot a golf video, the first thing I do is check the bottom left corner for your name.
I’ll never forget Curtis Strange interviewing Tiger right before Tiger’s pro debut. Strange asks Tiger how he expects to do and Tiger replies that he expects to win. Never forget the look on Curtis’s face!
“Hey look, buddy, I'm an engineer; that means I solve problems. Not problems like 'what is beauty', because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve *practical* problems...” 😎
I know this is subjective, but IMO out of the top 20 shots of all time Tiger has most probably hit 15 of them. I mean we have never seen better or more clutch shots than in Tigers career. 🐐
You really think its possible to stop a 120 mph club head swing after the downswing started? Come on! He obviously decides to stop before he starts the downswing
@@8823samuel No, they actually are capable of those kinds of feats. For example, Tiger, Jack, and Bobby have all re-adjusted on the downswing for a different kind of swing at full speed with drivers, and I even saw a TM video where DJ and the other guys were shouting out swings where they had to re-adjust on the downswing (not with the driver, though) -- and they were only about 50% accurate doing that, though. It's not easy or good, but it's possible. You're not talking about average pros here, you're talking about world-class athletes with perfect brain-to-body connections and muscle fibres and reflexes, and Tiger is the best of the best. Why would he have decided before the swing -- you either swing or you don't. That makes zero sense. You heard his comment afterwards: 'I literally felt like I broke every bone in my body doing that.' Having said all that, I would hate to see him do it more than once, that's for sure.
These are not even a measurable amount of shots seen here compared to all the great shots over his entire career. Tiger was truly the best golfer that has ever played the game. The field of golfers now, which most grew up being tiger fans, is so good and competitive now that we may never see the likes of Tiger Woods type success ever again in the sport of golf.
Mike Yip Tiger has talent skill and something the other players don't have "A GIFT". Ur coach media commentors parents can't give you that gift!!! 50 wins by 30 yrs old, there won't b another plyr like him in our lifetime. Imma enjoy him still cause he's the BEST that ever did it. U got other golfers to watch go ahead, as 4 me it's TIGER EVERYDAY ALL DAY 😊😊🐅🐐
Tiger had no fear back then and always pushed the limits knowing that if things were off he would still be able to put up a great score. His strength was unmatched, and his accuracy simply incredible!
check him out on Taylor Made channel on here, they've been posting some cool videos over this past year of Tiger, for example TM broke out an old 40 year old model driver and all the Taylor Made players, Rory, DJ, Jason Day and a few others all were asked to hit it, Tiger looked at it and grinned, likely thinking, this is what I started out with, and proceeded to smash one out the furthest of all the boys that play for TM! Watched a recent one where they all were hitting driver and seeing who could come closest to a line straight out in the fairway, Tiger again wins that challenge! Tiger's still got what it takes, when he wants to and when it's a competition, I'll never count him out till it's over! No fans at events didn't help his game either, he feeds off the energy of the fans too....
I couldn't stop but watch the first scene again and again... I felt breathless while Woods gave his best shot... Fabulous! He was definitely an artist...
Only the Best I've ever seen. Nobody can touch or come close to what Tiger has done. Arnold Palmer is still being entertained, and challenged with every stroke Tiger has made, and hopefully...will AGAIN make.
Nobody will ever be as dominant or consistent as tiger was. Like him or not, we have been lucky to see much a talent in our lives.
Always loved Tiger, I couldn’t watch golf till he came along. And I like Faherty too, colorful announcer.
He is the Messi and Ronaldo of golf, rolled into one, we are truly lucky to be alive during his time.
I like when he holds his arms in the air after he hits the ball.
Dk why🙄
Jack Nicklaus was pretty good in his prime, won 18 majors. Tiger Woods was more consistent though.
@@Kromatt agreed. If Tiger never went thru so many injuries I think he would of beaten Nicklas 18 majors
It sucks that people soon forget that with a prime Tiger in the field, every other player was looking at second place money. Golf needs this guy, and golf knows it.
Driver off the deck with 287 to go when you're 22 under is like living in a video game

3 wood.
Bro the double take I took at (22) I was like...
“-22.... oh... n...e...gative 22... 😶
Whenever most folks try to kill the ball, accuracy goes to $hit. Tiger being able to do it while maintaining pinpoint accuracy is unreal.
indeed.
Iliiliiiilliooo
That’s exactly what made him so great.
PEDs does wonders
PED’s has nothing to do with
“ off the charts talent and accuracy..
The most astounding thing to me is how much camera technology has improved since the 90’s. Even the early 2000’s seems unwatchable.
@Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this how old are you?
If the most amazing thing about this video is camera technology improving, maybe you should watch it again my guy.
30 years is a long time
When you don't know any better, you watch
Watched a video on Larry bird the other day. It looked like that vision you have after drinking a bottle vodka two minutes before you puke.
Imagine playing the golf of your life, and a guy like Tiger appears...
Welcome to the life of Chris DeMarco...
Weldon ikr! He was on the receiving end of some Tiger specials. Imagine how Ernie and Phil must feel. Without Woods they may have 8-10 majors.
ernie els finished 2nd to tiger in the US Open and British Open in 2000.
He also finished 2nd in the Masters that year, but not to Tiger.
Just ask Phil.
@@BrandonGavin_EDC phil has 5 and blew the us open (2nd place) 6 times, phil shoulda had over 10 without the ones Tiger took.
that last swing by Tiger there was just unbelievable. literally lifted him off the ground.
I can watch these videos of Tiger all day.
@RAH Capital that’s why his knee went out. He used to lock his left leg so hard at impact. But yes his back took a major toll after that.
When he stops his swing mid-swing, that’s when you know he pays attention at every moment of his swing.
I've been to quite a lot of golf tournaments, they are so great.

For the few that have played or just walked Pebble that second shot on number 6 was insane out of that thick rough through the heavy damp air of the beach I just don't think there's many players who could pull that off besides Tiger.
Being one that totally agrees with all the comments of Tiger's greatness, it is most unfortunate that what really took out his game was a broken heart and massive regret. The physical was second to his demise.
Conversely, it's great and even more admirable to his humility, love of the game and ascent [back] to the top. Amazing to watch and I do so with huge respect!
Tiger had the ability to swing hard and still maintain proper posture through impact. Gifted and practice will always equal greatness!
Tiger may be in the hospital, but his son has the best teacher in the game hands down.
These highlight reels don't show the total picture of Tiger's fearlessness when it came to risk and reward. He was never perfect. He would miss. But he was a grinder. Always rose to the challenge. Fed off it. And it was his ability to escape danger that made him such an unstoppable force. The punches, low hooks around trees, threading the needle, the short game, the putting, the lag putting, hitting off pine straw, long bunker shots etc. etc. So glad I got to see him play live a few times in the early 2000s.
Very good compilation. Many new episodes i have never seen. Thank you!
6 iron from the bunker is my all time favorite golf shot ever. I remember watching it live. On TV that is.
My fav ever also. Throw in 72nd hole where he needed a par to win IIRC.
1:51 when my wife decides to slip into something a little more comfortable
Oddly wholesome lol
Bruh
😂😂😂😂💀 Didn't even have to click it, I knew it was going to be that: OoOh~ clip.😂😂😂💀
Underrated comment
Happy you included the check swings!! Unreal!!
He's paid the price for these shots with his back problems though...especially when he stops the swing half way through...but he is the best I have ever seen!!
He's able to sense a carbon fiber shaft that is BEGINNING to break !!
Mike Jenkins: Not me I saw Thomson[ best player of the small ball bar none]
Snead Palmer Player Nicklaus all as good to watch
Tiger has definitely had to adjust his game to more of a “golfer” nowadays. I didn’t get to watch him live in action, but I loved his young gun mentality where it’s like “lay up? Nah fuck it I’m going to try and hole this from 190 yards out” lol. He had that mindset where he really really wanted to prove he was the best, and he did by destroying everyone with a couple of the most absurd golf shots ever.
@@andrewkravmaga1833 There is that and that he was a Black Man in a white mans game
Tiger took his game and the whole sport of golf to the next level when he had that 10 year stretch where is was unbeatable.
Faherty's commentary and in front of camesr stuff is always hilarious
Another one of your great videos. I have enjoyed your channel tremendously since discovering a few months ago. Now, when I spot a golf video, the first thing I do is check the bottom left corner for your name.
Thank you!
3:00 Charles Barkley: “Hold my beer”
I’ll never forget Curtis Strange interviewing Tiger right before Tiger’s pro debut. Strange asks Tiger how he expects to do and Tiger replies that he expects to win. Never forget the look on Curtis’s face!
I know nothing about golf, but I really enjoyed your series on Tiger Woods.
Thats why tiger is so special man. I take it ur not a big golf fan...but it doesn't matter...people still wanna watch this dude play
“Hey look, buddy, I'm an engineer; that means I solve problems. Not problems like 'what is beauty', because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve *practical* problems...” 😎
3:10 I was there for that shot. i was to the right, 5 people deep. My hair stood up when he tooknthat swipe at thr ball - it was incredible.
The 6 iron from the bunker over water will forever be my favorite shot of his.
I don’t care what anyone have to say about Tiger Woods. He is the Greatest Of All Times!
I miss Tiger and his golf games on Sundays... The Torry Pines in 2008 was the best! I needed this video!
I could watch Tiger hit all day. Tiger the artist, the engineer, the master.
Did he own slaves too?
matt smith he could if he wanted to
its still legal in Africa, maybe he should go there.
I know this is subjective, but IMO out of the top 20 shots of all time Tiger has most probably hit 15 of them. I mean we have never seen better or more clutch shots than in Tigers career. 🐐
2:52 stop his swing on the down swing Nuff said
That is nearly impossible to achieve.
did you see that !..f... me !
What’s the thing about stopping mid-swing?
You really think its possible to stop a 120 mph club head swing after the downswing started? Come on! He obviously decides to stop before he starts the downswing
@@8823samuel No, they actually are capable of those kinds of feats. For example, Tiger, Jack, and Bobby have all re-adjusted on the downswing for a different kind of swing at full speed with drivers, and I even saw a TM video where DJ and the other guys were shouting out swings where they had to re-adjust on the downswing (not with the driver, though) -- and they were only about 50% accurate doing that, though. It's not easy or good, but it's possible. You're not talking about average pros here, you're talking about world-class athletes with perfect brain-to-body connections and muscle fibres and reflexes, and Tiger is the best of the best. Why would he have decided before the swing -- you either swing or you don't. That makes zero sense. You heard his comment afterwards: 'I literally felt like I broke every bone in my body doing that.' Having said all that, I would hate to see him do it more than once, that's for sure.
These are not even a measurable amount of shots seen here compared to all the great shots over his entire career. Tiger was truly the best golfer that has ever played the game. The field of golfers now, which most grew up being tiger fans, is so good and competitive now that we may never see the likes of Tiger Woods type success ever again in the sport of golf.
THANK YOU!!! ❤❤❤❤WILL BE WATCHING THIS MANY MANY TIMES!!! 😊😊😊😊🐐🐅 THIS IS GOLF GREATNESS.
That bunker shot at the 2000 Canadian Open is golf's best ever, honestly.
Agreed
Def agree with you. Hitting that shot alone is unimaginable, then add in where it is in terms of the tournament and it's unfathomable
Mike Yip Tiger has talent skill and something the other players don't have "A GIFT". Ur coach media commentors parents can't give you that gift!!! 50 wins by 30 yrs old, there won't b another plyr like him in our lifetime. Imma enjoy him still cause he's the BEST that ever did it. U got other golfers to watch go ahead, as 4 me it's TIGER EVERYDAY ALL DAY 😊😊🐅🐐
5:08
That's the most golf jargon I have ever heard in my life.
Faherty at the end 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tiger had no fear back then and always pushed the limits knowing that if things were off he would still be able to put up a great score. His strength was unmatched, and his accuracy simply incredible!
check him out on Taylor Made channel on here, they've been posting some cool videos over this past year of Tiger, for example TM broke out an old 40 year old model driver and all the Taylor Made players, Rory, DJ, Jason Day and a few others all were asked to hit it, Tiger looked at it and grinned, likely thinking, this is what I started out with, and proceeded to smash one out the furthest of all the boys that play for TM! Watched a recent one where they all were hitting driver and seeing who could come closest to a line straight out in the fairway, Tiger again wins that challenge! Tiger's still got what it takes, when he wants to and when it's a competition, I'll never count him out till it's over! No fans at events didn't help his game either, he feeds off the energy of the fans too....
Man I love Gary McCord. He just can’t help but laugh like a little girl when he sees an outrageous shot. 3:20
I couldn't stop but watch the first scene again and again...
I felt breathless while Woods gave his best shot...
Fabulous!
He was definitely an artist...
Enquiring minds want to know....
Just exactly WTF did Ernie say?
I'd imagine it's "fucking bullshit" or something to that extent :P
Ernie said “fuck that man”
Looked to me like, "No fucking way!"
What the fuck was that
@@brock2k1 yup
It's not just the distance he can carry his ability to judge puts him in a league of his own
1:30 is the greatest best golf shot i've ever seen!
William Muff look at the captions for that shot
There's something special about VHS-era Tiger. Never quite catch that feeling again.
and im happy when i actually hit the ball
I am so lucky that I got to watch tiger and his prime however I am glad that Nicklaaus still has the record
2:02 soooo many memories PS2 Tiger Woods PGA omg. Those games were perfect in every way
0:50 well we’re gonna find out😂 Full send.
4:13 is that the sound of the ball spinning... sounds like a fuse of a bomb ....
I think that’s a camera shutter going off
@@hockeyjr81 🤔🤯 thanks. Fredo Corleone : It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm smart!
@@geoffrey8722 If you are smart, you would have realized the obvious in the first place
@@KevinLuWX hence the joke. Fredo was inept. Oh boy!
@@mickym.6711 Who the hell is Fredo
Only the Best I've ever seen. Nobody can touch or come close to what Tiger has done. Arnold Palmer is still being entertained, and challenged with every stroke Tiger has made, and hopefully...will AGAIN make.
I guess you've never heard of Jack Nicklaus.. SMH...
Those are all great shots and any tour player can hit any one of them. Difference here is these are all executed by the same man.
When Tiger shows up you know something incredible is bound to happen.
Tiger the wizard
I am glad that Tiger is back for good after tumultuous periods.
3:52
Tiger: Doesn’t hit the ball
Commentator: “ OOH WOOW THATS GOOD STUFF😧”
Yeah, what the hell is that about? It happens twice in the video. Why is that amazing?
@@emmanuelkatele1 he is swinging at about 120mph. Stopping that so quickly is amazing
They didn't call it Tiger proofing a course for nothing. Man it was so fun watching him in those early years absolutely destroy golf courses
