20-year-old Tiger Woods’ professional debut in 1996 | Full highlights 

Reporter?

That “reporter” is two time US open champion Curtis Strange

@@alexanderjefferies7740 All time world ranking No. 33 Curtis Strange, you can't blame him though for the comment.

@@Pulse2AM I agree, you certainly can’t, I was just meaning to make the correction that Strange isn’t just some random reporter

@@alexanderjefferies7740 strange was a pos for that comment.

Facts. Never even watched/played till I saw tiger

I hate to sound too hyperbolic, but during his prime he really did have an aura around him. I remember back in 2001 I was at the Monday practice round of The Masters. Basically what I did was walk the course from 1 through 18. Then I think I went down to Amen Corner and watched for awhile. I decided that was pretty much it and was going to head back. I can’t remember how, but somehow I got onto #5 and just walked back towards the tee and then I was just going to walk back up to the clubhouse from there. But then right as I was standing next to #5 tee box I looked up and saw a mass of humanity up above. It was obvious to me that Tiger was on #3 green. So I just stayed where I was. Then he played #4 and like I said, this mass of humanity that had to be thousands of people followed him down to #5. I already had my spot right in the front row just a little past the right tee marker. So I got watch him hit a drive from about 20 feet away. But I guess the point I’m mainly trying to make is that there were so many people following him during a Monday practice round. It was crazy. I actually got to watch him hit a drive from about 20 feet away right in front on #9 in 1997 too, which was also the Monday practice round. He absolutely bombed it. Some dude yelled out “hit another one” Tiger said “I can’t hit it any better than that.”

You can't blame him for being standoffish the guy had no welcome there, he was treated differently hence the standoffish.

no u

Excellent observation

Jack has left the chat

If he can come back and win again maybe

@@williamgray9692 is 18 more than 15?

@@carramrod8232 that’s only part of golf. Take in account the rest of golf and it’s not even a debate. Take context into that 18 and it’s not even a debate. Tiger is the goat and it’s not a discussion. Even jack himself gives it to tiger. So get off jacks nuts cause not even he wants you there.

Not as smooth as you think. That's why he had to change it.

Stop ittttt.

He has been, many times!

Did that to himself!

Definitely not, greatest golfer yes, greatest athlete? Absolutely not.

That would be Muhammad Ali

It’s Not that bad

We should think before we talk!

Back when they used balata balls and persimmon woods, lifting the left heel was a way to turn easier and get more distance......at least that was the theory. Technology, and players like Fred Couples/Tiger came along and that changed.......and now most teachers advise against it. I do miss the older way of playing where a sweet swing was required because the equipment/ball wasn't so forgiving, and driver heads so ridiculously large. Tiger is different from the past greats in that he won majors by enormous margins.......we hadn't seen that before.

I like a steady finish.

Can't wait to see you again. You are a gift to the game!

@@jamiewilkinson8043 Thank you

You do not have my blessing

@@jamiewilkinson8043 That isn't really Tiger you're talking to... lol

@@UncleRicoOSU no-one cares.

T60 read description

What position is he about to end his career? Up there with the greats.

He won 2 US Opens to be fair

@@gbvoul Is he in the top 10? NO.

@@azieldaly2965 top 10 is arbitrary. winning majors isn't

@@gbvoul Pretty sure people that one the most majors are in the top ten. Curtis isn't.

@@azieldaly2965 math doesn't quite add up lol

Bobby Jones. Nicklaus is , well Nicklaus.

No, a tiger.

Sam who?No one will forget Tiger.

🤡

Of course, in your head!!
