Brandel Chamblee: "If Tiger Doesn't Lift Weights He Has 20+ Majors" | The Dan Patrick Show | 8/9/18

[@jeffrey64]

And he wins. Next discussion. This dude thought Tiger would NEVER win again, some expert...

[@GENOBURRITO1]

Chamblee should have lifted weights. He maybe would have won more than 1 PGA event.

[@washredskin887]

Brandel is spot on here.

[@kencavallari2208]

How many PGA events have you won guy???

[@GENOBURRITO1]

@@kencavallari2208 I’m not a professional golfer hero but if Brandel with 1 victory implies that tiger should not have lifted weights and tiger has 82 pga victories, 15 which are majors, then maybe Brandel should have tried to maybe hit the gym himself. You don’t have to be a professional golfer to figure that out.

[@mkrbrtsn1]

maybe but he is 100% correct on this

[@swingtrade2]

When Tiger was young and willowy he use to kill it. Some of the drives hit at the Stanford course were insane. I think weights changed his set up. He use to carry his hands much more forward at set up - check out his amateur videos compared to his pro set up with both irons and woods. Big pecs forced him to move them back more to the middle and then all the problems started with sucking the club inside.

[@FOT2010]

FACT: Weight resistance has an anti-aging effect. If Tiger doesn't lift weights, he'd be Jordan Spieth. A phenom who peaks early and fades quickly after winning only 3 major titles.

[@rgtj9958]

FOT2010 THIS IS WHY..ITS CALLED THE COMMENT SECTION..YOU CAN SAY..WHAT EVER YOU WANT..AND ITS NOT BASED ON FACTS..OR EVEN WHAT IS EVEN CLOSE TO THE TRUTH"" LET ME GIVE YOU...ANOTHER SPIN ON THIS MESS..

[@FOT2010]

Robert V tutt 2 things: 1) turn your caps lock off 2) my point was, weight training leads to longevity...not strength.

[@roberttimbo1038]

Is Rory’ lack of winning more consistently due to the weight lifting he has done They have talked about this about Tiger woods Is this attributable to Rory’s perfirmance

[@leroyrodgers6089]

Essentially Tiger is the GOAT.

[@manmarko28]

You can say the same about Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka who by the way was in the gym pumping iron the night before the final round at the PGA.

[@wally6193]

And what's happened to both to them in the past year, both had injuries obviously caused by pushing themselves too far with the weights. I've been working with weights for over 35 years, this can happen, you don't need to pump that much weight for golf, workout yes, to extremes no. Those two guys were in competition against each other in the workout room and it led to their injuries, imo.

[@Terryhendog]

Just like a basketball shooter

[@carlfrye1566]

When you have the distance Tiger had there is no need to build muscle size to increase it. Lift to maintain strength, hi reps/low weight, but bulking up in the chest and shoulders will change the looseness that allows your arms to move freely during the golf swing. At least that is my experience.

[@sarahbee13]

Brandel is always the smartest person in the room. 😂😂…………………..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tmo4330]

I dont always agree with Brandel. But he is right about Tigers distance. The numbers dont lie. Woods was much longer when he was "not as strong". Crazy but true!

[@andrepasuram3529]

T mo Tiger did that on purpouse, when he was Young he could drive very far bet when he got on pga tour there the fairways was narrow so he had shorter distance to get accuracy. Please Brandel is BS

[@Jeffersonokay]

@@andrepasuram3529 he didn’t get any more accurate when he started hitting it shorter distances on the pga tour. He was as wild as he’s ever been. He was arguably more accurate when he was hitting it his longest.

[@bagpussmacfarlan9008]

Faldo did exactly the same when he was doing really well - so not the only elite athlete to completely change his technique mid career. Didn't hurt him - 6 majors ain't too shabby in a time when golf was full of great champions

[@YolkyPalky]

I thought Tiger basically had to change his swing because his body was breaking down viciously, knees shot to hell, etc., and the swing changes were almost a necessity to keep playing, but with less torque and force on his body, or certain parts of his body like knees, etc.

[@coldwinter5710]

Yes, and has nothing to do with lifting weights. He still needs his strength! And lifting weights as we age is even more important for our bodies to remain agile. Chamblee is all wrong about this topic.

[@samuelcarter8021]

@@coldwinter5710 He’s not wrong at all. Tiger put on weight to increase ball speed, the increased torque is what caused his back injuries. Tiger wasn’t lifting to maintain strength like you’re suggesting

[@whatthe3504]

@@samuelcarter8021 lifting doesnt increase ball speed the technique in the swing does. his changes probably gave up speed for more accuracy and less strain on the body.

[@user-ll7fv6tu7k]

He has an obsession with vanity and perfection? Wow, another stupid opinion. If that were true, why is Tiger allowing himself to go bald? He could afford the very best hair restoration, yet he allows himself to look older and older each and every year.

[@stevenmontgomery171]

He's right!

[@beardown2489]

Tiger has got less and less aggressive as the years have gone on. He doesn’t hit driver that often. I think tiger plays the odds and figured his odds were better if he was in the fairway. I’m not certain Brandel is wrong. But I’m not at all convinced that this theory is right.

[@whataboutthepotatoes6085]

If he could sequence his downswing starting with his lower legs rather than his hips, I think he'd be more accurate a driver.

[@string22]

So tiger losing flexibility had nothing to do with losing distance? All down to weights was it? Haha. What if he had to lift to make up for less flexibility? What if his averages would have been even lower without lifting?

[@whataboutthepotatoes6085]

Lifting can reduce flexibility by creating scar tissue in the fascia.

[@teeBrunz]

How many majors does this guy have?

[@ermharriable]

Brandel has zero. And just 4 pga wins 🤣😂

[@martywarner1779]

Until someone else achieves what Tigers has in Pro Golf ... He is still the 2nd most Major winner & I think 2nd most Tour wins along with all other trophies he has won in his illustrious career and most definitely more... Tiger will ALWAYS be Tiger and that's one thing nobody can change. The Man idolized Jack, Sam, Arnie... tbh Tiger made Golf cool... and everyone knows that... before Tiger GOLF WAS A BORING OLD WHITE MANS GAME... I'm just being honest, I'm sure alot will vouch for that.

[@James3-8]

True as hell nro👊✊👌👻

[@andrepasuram3529]

Well he can have most wins on the tour

[@PJCloutier22]

They all lift and workout nowadays.

[@thomasretallick6228]

Watch his 2000 swing. Best swing ever. Lost distance.

[@kennyray116C]

Strength training has NEVER made anyone worse at their sport!!! You don't know what you're talking about. You have to be strong to be fast!

[@phoenixrisin2269]

David Rocker Weight training destroys your joints. I’ve trained 40 years and have had 5 back surgeries and am now having a total shoulder replacement from heavy strength training. I wish I would have shut it down about 25 years ago!

[@Jeffersonokay]

@@phoenixrisin2269 nail, meet head.

[@FlimsTV]

Part of that “magic” was that tiger lifted weights

[@ScratchArkkitehti]

From a man who doesnt lift. A man who doesnt realize the benefits and has only ONE regular tour win..... If you dont work out you cant possibly believe the benefits until you do it for yourself....descriptions cant do it justice. He is golfs Skip.

[@joelwaititi9299]

John Lee and brooks is dominating when he is strong as fuck not to mention the no1 in the world is his workout partner

[@garymarchelletta7066]

John Lee Great analysis genius, except for that fact that every golfer in the game right now lifts weights.

[@nguyens1000]

Brandel really dislikes Tiger. It’s not for golf reasons.

[@chickenhazmat7547]

I think he overdid the workouts at some points but I think it helped him some.

[@fallrookmike]

Hey Brandle, Maybe if he didn't work out he never would of been Tiger. How does Crow taste by the way?

[@philipvaughn1886]

Brandel has been right on target c Woods. Keep preaching Branded! Screw the haters!

[@jamesanthony5681]

Chamblee's an idiot. This is the same man that predicted Tiger Woods WOULD NOT win the 1997 Masters because he lacked 'distance control' with his irons, even though Tiger won 2 events fairly quickly after joining the PGA Tour in late Aug/96, thereby securing his Tour Card. Chamblee talks so much nonsense, it's embarrassing.

[@Terryhendog]

I agree weights did him in, probably steroids too

[@hankakah4180]

Hey guys, he just beat all the other weight lifters in the Tour Championship. Maybe they need to lift more?

[@user-ll7fv6tu7k]

What a stupid opinion. Tiger won so many majors BECAUSE he lifted weights. Lifting weights keeps you strong. The older you are, the more important it is.

[@grantorino7644]

So his stellar lifestyle had no bearing?Ok👍

[@jamesanthony5681]

' *Brandel Chamblee explains why lifting weights has had a negative impact on Tiger Woods* '. Rubbish. Gary Player lifted weights and had a rigid fitness regimen since the 1950's. How'd his career work out?

[@conz1508]

This is could be the most absurd thing I’ve bet heard, he clearly doesn’t understand the difference between overtraining and ‘lifting weights’

[@josephbalachick1879]

My Lord is this guy real?

[@reginaldinoenchillada3513]

Lol Brandell, so jealous, so bitter.

[@robertm7889]

Chamblee is really annoying...Negative impact on Tiger Woods' career that is an oxymoron ; because his career is he is the best or second best golfer ( for those who think Jack is) who ever lived as of today 15 majors 81 wins and counting. Chamblee isn't even in the top 1250 who ever lived...just a know it all comentator.

[@Saltlick11]

Totally agree. The weights really precipitated his physical issues.

[@cameroncrawford2287]

By far the most absurd shit I have ever heard.

[@y1521t21b5]

Ifs and buts...

[@CrazyAboutVinylRecords]

And who would know better than Brandel Chamblee about winning majors. Look at all of the majors he won.
