Do you think Tiger will win a major in 2019?
Grand Slam!
Who knows but he will win again.
The Masters, then we'll see
It goes without saying
no doubt
Tiger's not moving the needle, he IS the needle - damn that's powerful

Come to indonesia tiger....
Humans never mind any arrogant ideas Embrace your flaws Tiger did
I'm guilty of only having an interest in golf when Tiger plays, he just makes the game so interesting.
Tiger made Golf cool...
@@martywarner1779 ikr
Ikr
lol me too. guilty here :)
Arnie had charisma, Jack had talent and mental toughness, Seve had artistry and enthusiasm. Tiger is all of those guys.
🐐
Yes! Because Tiger embraced them as his heroes....
Tiger is magical at times
Tell that to grandma.
I remember watching a tournament years ago. Tiger was 8 shots back. TV coverage was still on him. At one point they showed him emerge from a porta potty walk over to the beverages on ice and grab a gatorade, put it back and grab a different one. The whole time you could hear applause from somewhere else on the course yet CBS kept the cameras on Tiger selecting a beverage just to see what flavor he chose. People would watch 2 hours of Tiger mowing his lawn. I'd watch 2 hours of Tiger mowing his lawn.
I would to bro😅💯👌✌
Everyone loves tiger!!!
You remember the Buick commercials with the closest to the hole contest? those cemented the boy next door image into the public's mind and along with his assassin attitude on the course what's not to like
LOL hilarious
me too!!! Glad he is now competitive and winning!
I would watch tiger having a beer and a meal after a round for 2 hours, and I would enjoy it
I came back to this because TIGER WON THE TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP TODAY
It's even more impressive now, after the Masters win, don't you think ?
Now masters
@@radranks6281 Yep, yep and I hope to add a win at Beth Page Black and/or Pebble to this list.
Tiger revived golf from an early death when all the greats retired. Has brought golf to a whole new generation of golfers and has got me up off my 60 year old ass to get out and play myself. Tiger is golf.
Tiger played his first Masters which was Jack's last Masters. That's providence handing off the baton to the ALL NEW Maestro! Probably a better one perhaps who has WORLDWIDE APPEAL
@@Mac13587 wow I didnt know that, that's amazing actually
You heard from me first......tiger wins the masters 2019 😁
well it happened
This aged well
😭😏😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
it's simple. The PGA tour had a slogan "These Guys are Good." That is completely true. The problem is that Tiger is GREAT. Perhaps the G.O.A.T and great is way better than good. Nobody wins the U. S. Open at Pebble by 15 strokes, TIGER DID.
Water is wet. The sun is hot. And golf is better when Tiger is winning. It's just one of those indelible facts.
100% true bro.
love it!
But is water really wet?
Tiger blew an entire generation of golfers away and changed the game. Won everything never missed cuts. And he is charismatic. None of the young stars are charismatic...
They aren't charismatic because they aren't as good as he was in his prime. It's difficult being charismatic when you only have a few wins to your name
Exactly.
They are just a stereotyp kind of players. But they just dont have the emotions Tiger had back in the days. Tiger was really celebrating a chipped-in Par.
DJ is sooo boring to watch. His interviews are sooo boring to watch.
No offense he is a great player...but TIGER is a different animal ;)
@@flozzy69 completely different animal bro, I seen a video where an interviewer said that most of these players of today would've loved to play Tiger in his prime and I thought to myself, that just wouldn't be fair😅😁💯✌
I Plead The Fifth No it wouldnt be fair 😂😂
I live in New Zealand...
Golf barely gets a mention unless Lydia Ko does well... or if another fellow Kiwi qualifies for a Major which is hardly but when Tiger plays a round.... Boom!Sports News...
Marty Warner lol good stuff man good stuff. Hey and shout out to all our brethren in New Zealand! #Salute
Same situation in Taiwan, no golf news in Taiwan unless Tiger or Yani Tseng played well
WHY IS EVERYONE SO AMAZED ? WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT TO SEE FROM A GUY FROM JUPITER !!!!!! HE IS THE GREATEST OF All TIME.
I used to watch tiger with my grandpa growing up. 13 years later I watch tiger with my daughter.
Never a more beautiful line... They came to see Babe Ruth , Pele, their Muhamid Ali...... they came to see their legend😉
... and Italian soccer legend Maradonna
@@epikmusic not italian, argentinian. like messi
@@lmolinero you are 1000% correct! I should known better. Two of the great soccer players from different eras are from Argentina (both Maradonna and Messi)
Meant to say Argentina NOT Italy (my bad fans and to Argentinian Maradonna)
There is a common misconception from people outside the game of golf. That is, that the game of golf needs another Tiger Woods to keep interest in the game. What people who don't have a genuine appreciation for the game of golf understand, is that Golf NEVER had a player like Tiger Woods before he enter into the Arena. At the height of Tigers career, he was the most recognizable Human Being on the Planet, and possibly still is, all while excelling at what most consider a boring game. Is the game of golf in good hands nowadays with this new crop of young players? You bet. Will you EVER see another Tiger Woods in your lifetime? Since it took over 200 years for a player like Tiger to Emerge, I think its safe to say NO!
You think it was bananas when he won The Tour Championship just think what it is going to be now that he won The Masters. It’s been almost a week and everyone who works at Augusta is still high-five each other around that property, the chairman is probably exhausted from counting all the damn money
Tiger is bigger than most of the other iconic names. Most other icons had rivals that tested them. Tiger had no equal. The closest was maybe Mickelson and he won maybe 1/4 of what Tiger did. Of all the legendary names in sports, when Tiger's career is over, he has to be in the top 2 or 3, if not the top. Only other names to compare would be Jordan or Ali, but I think Tiger is #1 in terms of impact on his sport.
Much respect to Ali and Jordan but none of them ever had a comeback story like Tiger. We have yet to see the end of it. After Tiger won #82 he talked about wanting to play into his 50s
05:06 perfectly said...he is an American Sports Legend and for those of us who saw what he did, we still are in awe of him and hope we can experience it again.
He is the Needle and always will be as long as he is playing
Masters 2019 champion
Dude is just special; from the time he was little; his calling was this game. Just a total phenom from day one.
I prefer to watch Tiger going to the toilette than watching the top ten players in the world hitting the ball. As simple as that.
Absolutely!🐐
'These guys don't exist anymore now that Tiger is back.' That says it all. Tiger has even greater appeal now because the average human being can relate to him. He has the same weaknesses of being human that we all have.
Tiger is the tournament....! Lool 100% true..
He won the Masters! Greatest player of all time period
It is simply impossible to overstate just how legendary Tiger Woods is. It's almost as if you need a word other than "great" to describe the magnanimity of his accomplishments within the most difficult game of golf. And then to come back the way he has, it's like moving the needle on his accomplishments at least by 15-20%. To be able to have a 26% major win rate from 1997-2008 within golf, it's just hard to explain unless you are a golfer yourself. Golf is NOT supposed to be a game like tennis where one player could be "expected" to dominate, it simply is not. Even Jack didn't dominate the game the way Tiger did. That's why the argument that Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer who ever lived holds water.
jpgk1927 great points. Well said.
Agree 100%. I was born in 92, so I spent my formative years watching Tiger play when he was at his most dominant. I remember watching him play with my late grandfather in Sundays. I think the greatest thing that can be said about Tiger Woods is that he made golf cool. As silly as it sounds. He was so good it made young kids like me want to go outside and play golf. He got so many people into the game that maybe wouldn’t have been otherwise. He was just different. It wasn’t an out of shape British or Scottish “gentleman,” he was of a different background and made it cool. I think he forced the sports world to carve out a place for golf on the Mount Rushmore of greats. He’s up there with Babe Ruth, Gretzky, Michael Jordan, and those types of guys.
Last statement sums it up. He is my legend. I started playing golf 20 years ago because of him.
How many say that....if not for this guy, I'd have had 0 interest in golf
"I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that." Yeah sure. He's bitter about Tiger's popularity and what he means to golf. Tiger actually transcends golf...he puts all the NFLers and NBAers in the shadows and every other athlete. I love watching him and feel absolutely no guilt about how I feel about Phil Mickelson and the rest of the supporting cast.
We only watch golf if Tiger is on. Golf's GOAT.... 凄いですよ
Tiger making me believe in golf again.. I'm back because he's back.. Masters champ.. Number 5!
It has been like that since he was an amateur. I have always loved golf even before Tiger. But golf needed an explosive player. One that wasn't scared to hold all 4 majors at one time. He's been fantastic for the game. Half of these current stars would not be who they are if not for him. Very similar to MJ
He is a different Animanl... Get em TIGER!!! 🐅
Tiger woods makes golf exciting because you might see something special out there. He has won and 2019 might be special!!!!
another angle is the golf industry likes Tiger's effect.
He won the masters incredibly against the children he inspired and I am sure he will pass jack's record of 18 majors if he is injury free
We usually cheer for whoever wants it the most, and when Tigers out there you know he's the man that wants it the most and we feel it every time he plays. Its almost as if we individually live through tiger as as if we are in engaged in the competition too!
Goat!
It's the black effect Jordan appeal Obama charisma in one person yes he made mistakes but his level of aura transcends this is tiger....
Geronimo McDuggins
Well said....
Tiger woods is golf legend and still able to play at the top. Tiger won the masters. Now the Jack Nicklaus record is within reach and tiger is within the tour wins record. Tiger makes golf exciting because of the everyone something great might happen. Jack Nicklaus had is following back in the day, now tiger woods has the following back again. It will be long time before we see another tiger woods play golf like he did. Just look at the records he is trying to catch 18 majors and 82 tour wins. Nobody in PGA is close to those numbers.
Tiger Woods in his prime on Saturday was the most dominant athlete ever. Much more so than Gretkzy.
How about this past week? he lead from start to finish! AWESOME!
Not to take anything away from the other golfers but nobody’s dominated golf like he has. Nobody!! 3 consecutive US junior amateurs, 3 Consecutive US amateurs, and 79 wins plus 14 majors.
Not to mention his top-3 finishes in Majors, other numerous world wide wins,
amateur wins... and if he keeps his mind/body & soul in tip-top condition, he'll most definitely win a few more tournaments long into his career and let's not forget the Senior Tours in a few years time to come.
I haven't played golf in a while but he did give me the inspiration to learn and play decent golf because he made Golf cool imo
... no disrespect to the other Champions of Golf but golf seemed too serious rather than entertaining but yeah.
The Man is back not only on the leader board but leading once again, Vintage Tiger.
I was a senior in college when he and his Dad were on 'The Mike Douglas Show', in 1978...from that point, I said, 'I've got to keep an eye on this one...', he didn't disappoint.
He's in a world of his own. Put up some incredible numbers...I pray I live to see someone challenge his standard.
I'm guilty lol. I never even picked up a club until tiger came on the scene. He's the m Jordan of golf and he's back !
There are no young players who draw you in. Tiger drew people in because he was so good and was an absolute cut-throat killer. Phil draws people because of his bold, go for it, mentality, which at any time can produce tournament winning shots or tournament losing shots, and his interaction with fans. Nicklaus drew people because of his greatness and class. Golf is in need of a new legendary player because there isn't one coming up yet.
Will Robinson sorry Will but the likes of Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Rory will easily be in the same ball park as Phil when they’ve got tot he back end of their careers. The difference now is you have five - ten guys who are outstanding
They don't draw fans the way Tiger or Phil do. There are a lot of great young players, but none of them have anything unique to draw people's attention to. None of them dominate. There are no legends in the making right now, just a lot of excellent players. Tiger and Phil could be in last place but the attention they get from fans is more than the top young players combined.
Will Robinson you have hit the nail on the head about dominating. No one dominates anymore because the standard is so much better I’m afraid. Completely agree no one will move the needle like woods ever again but you are from that era - Mcilroy has a huge pull for fans similar to that of Phil. He’s also a better golfer.
Mcilroy doesn't have near as big of a following as Mickelson. Mcilroy may be the most talented golfer today, but he doesn't have the bold play that Phil does, or the cutthroat competitive attitude of woods. Mcilroy is only interested when he is playing well. There are many excellent young players, but none of them draw fans to watch, more specifically casual fans. Tiger and phil are the last legendary players. It's not so much how much they win, it's the way they play. None of the young players today play as fearless as Tiger or Phil. Tiger and Phil can also hit shots that no one else can, or is willing to even try. Anyways, don't want to go back and forth too much with you, cause i think we just disagree on a basic point.
Will Robinson agree with some of your points , but saying they hit shots these guys can’t hit ? Come on dude , get real
I agree...everybody wants to see the legend,if hes in 20 th place
TIGER WOODS,Micheal Jordan,Micheal Jackson,Babe Ruth these pulverizing people only come around once in a life time.
I'm a 51 y.o. man who was always a casual golf fan and watched the occasional tournaments. However, I'll never forget how much more enthusiastic I became about watching tournaments when Tiger came on the pro scene around 1996. My life has been forever changed for the better and I thank Mr. Woods for this.
He's a living legend. Why wouldn't we soak it up?
I think the big problem with keeping interest in golf is to do with the young stars. They're incredible players, but they're so boring. Tiger and Phil just have something special that makes them so appealing. And I don't think it's just the amount of success they've had, because it's been like that for as long as I can remember.
its simply the fight that they show every tournament they enter
RORY
What a video this one is and everything tiger did after this , so relevant,,amazing video and I salute to all of you guys who spoke ,, each world weigh a ton because so true it has become,,,
last week reminded us all of how good he is.....we almost forgot
When tiger woods is playing everyone hoping to see something special. When he makes impossible shots that what people like to see.
We love watching his golf game, All others are ....
Tiger Woods changed the way we think of golf as when he was at his peak no one could touch him. When Tiger leaves the game he grew up playing only true golf fans will remain unless another phenom like Tiger comes along. Only once a lifetime can you follow an athlete with his stature who backed it up with his incredible play.
Tiger won the Masters 🏌️ ⛳️
He Made Golf Great Again. MGGA!
Absolutely excellent piece!
He's not a legend. He's the King.
He is just the greatest! PERIOD!!!
Golf popularity as it is was all because of Tiger. It doesn't matter how good other players are, they don't inspire people as much as Tiger does for the sport.
They all thought they could deal with the pressure of competing with tiger on Sunday...but they’ll learn it’s not that easy.
Tiger effect also in golf equipment sales!
All that equals GREATNESS
He may not be the first, but he is the Elvis of Golf. Even with a great name.
You people said so wonderful even before he winning the 80th,,every sentence you guys spoke stand proven,,only had to watch the last winning hole,,,
I live in Ohio, I watched Tiger win twice at Firestone.....magical experiences. Gives me goosebumps to this day.
He has more majors than McIlroy, Johnson, Spieth, Day and Koepka combined - let alone his PGA count. If he keeps healthy i wouldn't be surprised if he stays in contention into his 50's.
Doug Ferguson hits the nail on the head. His commentary is so on point it's chilling; especially at 1:52 -2:05. Golf is at a high point right now and it's awesome!!!
Whether he catches Jack or not pay attention....they didn't change golf courses because of Jack. Jack didn't make the other golfers richer as Tiger has. In his prime, all the others knew that they were playing for second place...Period!!!! The Tiger Effect was (is) REAL!!!
Been a fan since '96 his game is something in words I can't describe I watch all things Tiger his game is off the charts. He still has the skills but as he has explained many times his back fusion limits his rotations so he had to figure out other ways to play. How many pro golfers could change their way of play get back on the pro tour and win???? Too many ppl criticize Tiger about his performance now but for me that's amazing in it self. 🐯
Tiger isn't the potatoe chip he is the potato
Tiger got me into golf 20 years ago but The First Tee failed all the kids in our city by cutting resources and not making an effort to group us up the next summer. My mom could only do so much and I lost interest to play. I continue to watch Tiger off and on, but then stopped watching completely due to video and cutting up out and about with friends. 20 years later I’m now inspired by Tiger to play golf again as a means to get in shape, relax and not be bored in my 30s+. I now go to the range 2-3 times a week. He is my Legend.
You sound like my grandson. I started watching Tiger in '96 mind you I'm a blk female but a sports lover; at 4yrs old he would go around the house hitting a plastic ball with his bat I thought nothing of it. He had a basketball at 2yrs old he was more into that. He started putting around the house again around 9 so I brought him a putting green he kept practicing; found First Tee got him into that until he was 15 he had a natural ability to play and he was good. But like you First Tee was a fail ppl used it as a babysitter I taught him how to play better bc of all the games I watched and pointers that were given. Like you he fell off bc of friends and girls🙄. I nvr thought I had a Tiger just wanted him to enjoy the sport.🐯 Fan forever.
Tiger Woods is to Golf is same as Sachin Tendular is to Cricket......revolutionized the game.
I was watching Davis Love then Tiger came along
I watched no one I tried but it was sooo boring. Then '96 and Tiger. ♥️♥️🐯
tiger is the king then now and forever
Some people are born great.......Tiger you genius!!
TIGER is THE GOLF BADSHA 👑.......⛳️🏌🏼♂️
The simple fact is that when you watch Tiger win tournaments or Majors (hopefully 1 or 2 in 2019😁) you are literally watching Golf history being created. THATS why he’s so important and in my view the most charismatic sportsman/athlete since Muhammad Ali.
Every time I see him in person it gives me goosebumps, my whole body and mind feels weird. Something about this guy,my Lord!
I dont even watch Golf unless Tiger is playing. And if he is winning ,i will watch start to finish.
Tiger, Tiger,Tiger!!!!!
Tiger - God of Golf
I mean, Michael Jordan could appear at an NBA game and he would be a bigger deal than say...Lebron James. Just saying. Tiger brought golf to the mainstream because he's not only an amazing athlete with a drive to win as great as Jack ever had but also because he is just a superstar oozing with charisma.
Tiger Woods your my hero
Nothing like TIGER……to find another one like him is virtually impossible…….not in my lifetime anyways 🎂💯🔥💯🔥💯
Never talks about Race because he realizes that the demand for racism far outweighs the supply. Ergo, if Americans are truly racist they would’ve rejected this young man right away. But it was the complete opposite because 98% of this country doesn’t GAF what color you are. Now, JUST like Tiger, we hate the sad state of affairs in the dysfunctional black community and JUST like Tiger, we know it’s 99% self inflicted!
TIGER HAS WORLDWIDE APPEAL. Nobody before had it that BIG. India is a country of just about 1,00,000 golfers but most Indians know about Tiger Woods.
I think the younger guys need to become more consistent. It's hard to follow someone like Spieth when he's only in contention 5 or 6 times a year. Tiger in his prime was in contention 25 times a year. People say charisma but that's not the problem. Golf needs people to stand out. While it's good for the game that anyone that plays in these pro events can win, it's not good for fans. Fans want a rivalry or a top guy. Mcilroy or Spieth have a chance if they push forward from now. Both of them can reach double digit majors and they already have good fan bases. They just need to become household names and they can do that by winning.
Won't happen; Tiger is Tiger hype don't make you great. Golf is hard and these players were told they could beat Tiger Woods I've watched them all come and go since '96. There will never be someone in my lifetime to play like Tiger and imma enjoy it for as long as I can. Tiger made golf a true sport and exciting. You don't hv to agree with me. 🐯
Lower left corner at 3:02.
Juson Voorhess Man, I thought I was the only guy that noticed. Aliens do indeed love golf! But I wonder how it came by the human oufit?
It’s called worship - people love to worship - it’s in our DNA - fans would rather watch Tiger shoot 76 than Andrew beef shooting 67
I've never heard such utter nonsence. Spitting, swearing, scandal, give me a Watson, Hogan or Jones any day. He was the best scorer, back in the day, he's ordinary now. Today everything's hipe, and so many swallow it.
I'm 42 years old, I started playing golf because of Tiger Woods. I'd say the majority of people my age would say the same thing.
Looking forward to Charlie. I just wish he was a little more humble. Keep it clean young man.
Bottom line is that Tiger elevated the entire sport and the guys playing. There used to be guys who still had to work as course pros and other jobs who now only play golf for a living because of Tiger's influence on the game. Enjoy his brilliance while you can, it won't last forever.
... as long as you're alive, that's all that matters... the Man is a Legend, golfers will be talking about him in 500 years.
If it wasn’t for a tiger woods computer game at least ten of us wouldn’t have gotten into golf and the big money probably would have come along for the sport but him and his presence has helped golf in a big way . He deserves a prize . They give knighthoods in Britain I don’t know the American equivalent but if nick Faldo gets a knighthood tiger deserves something of equal or higher value . He really deserves it . Eighty tournaments fifteen majors and world no 1 for a long time. . Best of all time . Jack was great not forgetting him . But tiger has made the game more popular and some of the shots he’s taken over the years are just remarkable.
Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 3 most popular athletes on the planet who are still alive.
Golf god 🙌🏾
Golf isn't doing a good enough job passing the torch..The media and the PGA should be covering these talented young players who are the future of golf
