A Round with Tiger: Celebrity Playing Lessons - Dwyane Wade

What could golf possibly have in common with professional basketball? As Tiger Woods and former Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade conclude in this episode, there’s a lot. The 13-time NBA All-Star and Olympic Gold medalist has doubled down on golf since turning to broadcasting after a celebrated 16-year career at the top of the game, and he relishes the chance to pick the brain of the Greatest Of All Time.

A Round with Tiger: Celebrity Playing Lessons - Dwyane Wade

[@TheGolfClan]

Wade: blocks it a mile right, hits house Tiger: "now we're talking"

[@moonskeetz]

It's just the house where he keeps his golf balls.

[@howdareyou41]

I love how Tiger's carrying a putter the entire time. As if Tiger is playing against him with just a putter.

[@Anstalten]

Love it. Encouraging, keeps him positive. Absolutely spotless attitude.

[@alexgreen1823]

Lmao

I think it's cause he made good contact finally

[@treemustach]

Dawyne - "oh I think I hit a window!" Tiger - "but that's good though." Man this dude literally just looking at the improvements. I wish I could have him as my teacher :P

[@lawbinson]

Umm isn't that the point of the show ?

[@israel25a]

Really

[@wcc4269]

@@frankystrings I imagine a lot of people would have too big of an ego to actually take it seriously and try to learn. If you are great and a pro at one sport, business, art, ect it is probably hard to be "vulnerable" and admit you are not good at something else, take it seriously, and actually try to learn.

[@amc7615]

Dwade hits 60 yard slice* Tiger: There we go, now were talking

[@VMTDesign]

He's used to coming over the top and compensating. So the hand calibration comes pretty quick, but just a bit of time.

[@amc7615]

@Joe Donahue its a clear slice not block

[@168jimmylu]

Tiger: There we go, now we're talking……… about that broken window you just smashed

[@amc7615]

@Joe Donahue def a slice

[@amc7615]

Slice def. off to the right

[@chrisparisb1319]

Dwayne: The view is beautiful here. Tiger: Correct

[@jamesjohnson5646]

It's funny. Golf is a part of the social upper class culture and basketball that of the urban lower class. Their upbringings defined both the way they talk and the sport that they chose to play.

[@theinvestingcanuck]

Man, Tiger is awesome....never once says "that was a bad shot", but cheers on progress as he sees it. Inspiring!

Reminds me of my dad whi got me into golf, my father was never a pro but in my eyes he's the best he's I've seen in person and he always found the silver lining of my shots and the last 4 seasons have been amazing now that I've gotten so into it. And I'm not great I got 2 birdies last season and I'm so excited for this season and playing with my dad

[@silasvansky5231]

Between Tiger's "I'm not done" and them talking about Kobe, and talking about father-son moments... I wasn't expecting to get this emotional

[@ellismccrea3924]

Me and you both!

[@yungheusy4752]

Lowkey started tearing up

[@Maz2323]

I definitely started tearing up. Tiger and Kobe are legends. And legends never die.

[@nickmeza9632]

And then him wrecking the day after!? F☹️

[@sprtsfanatic1]

Crazy too, to think that all 3 legendary athletes were all in their primes around the same time, too. I know, more so Kobe and Tiger, but still Wade was putting up points then finally got his first title in ‘06. But yea, the father-son reflection was a personal tear-jerker for me

[@thurp2011]

The way Wade engages with Tiger is so familiar when you're a competitive person. He really wants to get granular with learning the game.

[@jppenhal]

Agreed. Wade genuinely sought advice to improve. He took feedback very well, never got defensive and had curiosity

[@whidoineedthis]

Granular...have you been listenin to Jeff Jarrett?

[@TheFn414]

Dwade “I think i hit a window” Tiger “Ya thats good tho”

[@MrKydaman]

Wade - "I think I hit a window." Woods - "But thats good though." As he smiles thinking that's Phil Mickelson's house.

[@NeesyPlaysGuitar]

Wade's a perpetual student. Clearly loves the learning process, no wonder he made it so far in his own world.

[@kellyanderson2918]

Thanks Golf Digest. It's nice to see Tiger in this setting. Relaxed and having fun. Rooting him on for recovery and a return.

[@Maz2323]

He’s the most influential golfer of all time. So many people, myself included, started playing because of Tiger. The TV ratings when he’s in contention are astronomical different in comparison to when he’s not.

I think my favorite thing about this one is watching an elite athlete alongside Tiger. Spade and Jada were cool but Dwayne's a guy who's been at the peak and can really understand Tiger and knows what to ask. Super cool content and I hope to see more like this once Tiger's healthy again. Maybe Gretzky?

Watching the evolution of Tiger over the last 5-7 years has been incredible. His mistakes have been there, but the way that he has evolved over the last several years have been remarkable to watch. I love videos like this where they expose the normal side of Tiger, not the locked in version on the golf course in a tournament. Wishing him a speedy recovery!

[@whidoineedthis]

It happens to a lot of celebrities. And teenage Superstars

[@DP-zd8fr]

This is a masterclass. The best thing about Tiger is he keeps encouraging and doesn't come with the "I'm the teacher here" vibe. That makes learning so much enjoyable.

[@Chris-gj7uy]

[@mraymer78]

do this a thousand more times with Tiger and other athletes!!!! phenomenal content!!!

[@pirateridge]

This is inspiring. Wade was very humble and to see a pro athlete at the top of the game, ask so many questions that beginners want to ask, absorb the answers and execute the shot is brilliant. Golf is hard and I've always said I will get lessons eventually but assume I can learn it all for free on KZbin. I have booked my first 3 lessons for tomorrow. I've played golf since I was 19 (now 33) as a casual, frustrated player. Hope the lessons help.

[@anthonymagnotta3428]

So I just watched this video. The little thing I picked up on was when wade was going for the putt, and Tiger's ball was closer than his. Tiger in a joking way says "I win." It may seem like something small, but you can see that competitive beast within him, even in such a laid-back round of golf. truly amazing. He and MJ are truly the most competitive athletes in the world in every sense of the word.

[@tyricelewis1161]

Yeah so would I....but I also heard DWade talk abt not being able to go down stairs. Athletes suffer in their bodies bc they take their bodies through strenuous training and often play with pain. Tiger fan since '96 wish ppl would stop acting like injuries don't come with the sport (not car accident).

'This game is about little increments.' How true that is. Most people would be too much in awe to take information in so well done to Dwyane for getting into the spirit of it.

[@bretbecker3621]

To see him in the field for the masters a year after his car accident is a testament to how driven this man really is. This is why he is my favorite athlete of all time. He is the reason I got into golf as a kid and have played competitively for over 20 years.

It’s awesome how Tiger makes small little tweaks to his swing and repeats “keep it simple”. Easy for him to say but it’s genius in that it keeps your mind clear of 100,000,000 swing thoughts.

[@mark2kero214]

Love this series!

[@joshramirez7]

Love this. One thing all amateur golfers have in common is the lack of holding their follow through. Almost all let the club fall down in a reverse swing, as if the club weighs a ton, which lacks intention. I think teaching them to hold their pose for a few seconds no matter the outcome will build more confidence...then when you hit the good shots, it's club twirling time! And Tiger is without a doubt the GOAT, mainly because he brought so many more eyeballs to the game.

[@aaronwhitefoot]
