The Tiger Woods Story you HAVEN'T heard! (amazing) 

I’m regularly +3 thru 3, so I got the first part down to playing like Tiger haha

I was in a private gym with my trainer here in Westlake Village, CA when I ran into Tiger. It was just the 3 of us in the gym at around 6 in the morning. He was hosting his Chevron tiger tournament back in the day. He was laser focused and worked out for at least 2 hours and then goes and plays 18 holes at his tournament. Remember that he had huge shoulders and was built more like a running back. I did not bother him because my trainer had received a text message from the gym owner to not ask Tiger for a selfie or whatever. But spent a good hour with Tiger in a gym. That’s my story about my experience with Tiger Woods!

My Tiger story. I’m two years older than Tiger, and was on last family holiday in Orlando with my mum and dad when I was 17. We were staying just off International Drive, and when driving around passed the entrance to Bay Hill GC, and a sign that said USGA Junior championship. We went in, just a handful of cars, free parking right beside the clubhouse at Bay Hill and we went out and watched the juniors play (completely free entry). Including a skinny kid with an unusual name - Tiger. We watched the golf that day and came back the next (it was match play format from what I remember) and saw Tiger win it. Couldn’t be more than maybe 10 people watching him, and maybe 50 on the final hole. After the tournament I was stood next to Toger and his caddy (who was this absolutely huge black guy from what I remember) said would you like a photo/autograph and since I was an awkward 17 yr old and he was 15 I thought it would be a bit weird. My dad said I’d regret it and he was right…. He was a phenomenal golfer at that age, skinny and quite tall I remember - it was really cool a few years later to double take when he played his first tournament and to know we saw him before all that when hardly anyway wanted to watch him play.

Rick, best 6.29mins i have watched for a long time, had to watch it twice, more please.

Tiger won 7 straight events. He’s also won 6 straight and 5 straight at different times. 🤯

Normally I resist the urge to watch these clips and spoil the full podcast episode for myself, but I couldn’t pass this one up!

I remember seeing him in person for the first and only time at the Deutsche Bank after his run of like 9 birdies in a row. He was on the green so I went up to the side of the cart path he had to cross. Dude was like a robot, just a dead stare forward, he was shorter than I expected but he was crazy ripped. Only dude bigger than him was the meat head state trooper escorting him lol.

I'll never forget sitting on the ropes at 5th and 17th tees in the final round of the 2002 PGA. It was like the old video you see of Beatlemania or Elvis. It was as if all the energy in the universe was localized around that tee box. You couldn't even breathe. I was literally vibrating for days afterward. It seems really weird to describe something like a golf tournament in those terms, but it really was something to behold.

When he was walking to the 14 tee at St. Andrews in 1995, when he was still an Amateur., I said to him as he passed, 'Great par Tiger'...and he said 'Thanks'. Ok...not really a conversation, but I can still say that I've spoken with the GOAT 😎

I quite often bogey my first 3 holes too. I can honestly say now that I play just like Tiger on a good day. 🐅

I listened to this on my way home from work on the train and burst out laughing.

He is the only player I will never get tired of watching!

Condensed version e.g. best of, absolute Gold.

ALL I WANT IN MY LIFE, is TO GET TO THE MASTERS AND SEE TIGER WEARING RED ON SUNDAY

Tiger was absolutely dominant back then (we're the same age), but the competition today is altogether different. None of these guys would have beat Tiger's "A" game back then, but many would have challenged anything less. Tiger was able to win with his "ok" stuff in his 20's because he was across the board better than everybody else in every facet of the game. Phil hadn't yet honed his game to be consistent and Ernie lacked that extra gear.

Gutted he missed the cut at Portrush was dying to actually see him live

Thanks Tommy! Top man!

I dont think Tiger enjoyed playing agains Tommy in the Ryder Cup lol. He was so hot that week, he might have been able to walk over water like a true Fairway Jesus

Love these stories

Wheres the vid of Tommy on range at jcb can't find it

Fun stuff guys

I saw Tiger play in upstate NY it was only his 3rd or 4th tournament I was about about 10 yards from him on the first tee and never got that close again, the crowds were prodigious and he hadn’t, won a tournament. He was out driving the pros in his foursome by 20 to 30 yds.

That 70 wins at 30 tells it all. Tiger is a better golfer than Jack by a mile, he just doesn’t have the record presently to prove it. What he did between 97-09 will never be done again… and if it is it won’t be for hundreds of years.

VJ needs to be a topic. Also ,the Zone and how to switch from left brain to right brain.

Who else thought Rick was blurring something out on the pillow…

So cool to see the pros fanboy out like the rest of us hacks. Just goes to prove just how good Tiger is

Tiger is the best there will ever be no contest

#PGATIGERKING just has to SHOW up to make YOU shake on the first thru 18 tee... HE WILL STILL BE MORE PEOPLES HERO!!

Epic

Tommy, Just to let you know, his play is Asian style. Focus and if you beat me? It's for real.

Why was Rick interviewing Aaron Rodgers?

I wouldn't bother saving that anecdote for Parkinson Tommy. #tumbleweed

Hey Rick can I please win some golf clubs in one of your giveaways. I love your other channel (only just found this one ) and i always enter but never win. I love golf but have to play with a mish mash of crap. My fave club in my bag is a sam snead pw that is at least 20 years old and still has the original leather grip that is falling apart. < that should tell you everything about my clubs. :)

He shot a 64 didn't he?

Rick and sidekick are so camp. Everything is "ridiculous", "amazing", "oh my god".

Guy is such a terrible interviewer 😑

Grow up rick u silly boy

Tiger was a great golfer but he has definitely not been a good person in his past. I personally watched him walk by and ignore 20 young fans at the Masters to talk to a hot blonde. He also talks terrible on the course, a huge variety of cuss words. He obviously was not a good husband.

first to like

Bunch of crybabies mad because tiger woods back on the Golf Course he's back Y'all mad get over it.

In 2015 at the pga championship at whistling straits when tiger was making his comeback I watched him play after the rain delay. They let us in at 530am and we ran to watch tiger restart his round. It was my brother my sister and I with tiger on that restart at 14? for 3 holes. At 17 his gallery started filling up and by 18 it was hard to get close. But for three holes I was 4 feet away from him and I was surprised by him. He was tall and imo thin. I’m 5’9 255 and he was lithe. Also blown away by that laser focus. It’s something I’ve only seen one other time by Michael Jordan. The air the ambience the focus. Finally, he made eye contact with me twice. I am not a small man so he did a double take when he saw me as he walked by at 14 and I smiled wryly at him and he smirked. At 16, when he walked off with par and the cut seemed likely I said, tiger you will win another masters again, and he looked me dead in the eyes and said thank you.

Tommy is such a cool dude. Also rick your laugh scares me

Tommy Fleetwood, we love ya. Never deny the fact that you're High as hell in this interview!!!!

I once played in a foursome with Tiger Woods, Larry Bird & Sylvester Stallone. Never saw any of them again.

I was in my teens when Tiger was on top and even me who was not that interested in golf knew how much of a phenom he was.
