From 1992: Tiger Woods, the future of golf

[@txdrmr]

I met Calvin Peete at the Texas Open in 84-85 and he was the nicest guy. I was 12-13 and just about every other golfer kinda blew me off but Mr. Peete stopped, signed my PGA program, gave me five seconds of his time and made a huge impression on me. Great guy may he RIP.

[@agentknight290]

Yep...he was a class act.

Thanks for sharing....... rare person indeed.🤙🏼🙏🏼

[@drnantz]

Him and his dad played through our foursome in the early nineties in San Diego. Just a skinny teenager. After he teed off we just all looked at each other and shook our heads. Wow. It only dawned on us some years later who that skinny kid was.

[@willrothfuss8470]

So great to see Calvin Peete- he was so gracious and supportive. Tiger owes him a debt of gratitude.

[@redfirebird2008]

Indeed, Calvin sounds like a great guy. Very classy. Led the tour in driving accuracy for 10 straight years. Can you imagine Calvin's driving accuracy mixed with the rest of Tiger's game? Would be an unbeatable golfer.

[@divindave6117]

Everyone in golf circles knew Tiger would be successful as a Pro.... but No One Ever - had any idea he would be the greatest of all time. Including me. I was in my late 30's when Tiger turned pro and I had read about him, but...nah... just another over-hyped wannabe. Now almost 25 years later, I still remember telling people he would never make it long term because he was too high strung. Boy was I wrong! Golf was boring without Tiger for a few years . Im so glad to see him back and on the prowl. When he won at Eastlake, this grown man cried. The way he took the competition down in the 2019 Masters was pure bliss and it made me cry again. Tiger makes golf 1000% more exciting. Hes tied with Sam Snead now with 82 wins, getting to 83 is a given. No doubt he will eventually overtake Jack. Having watched him achieve what he has, it would pure lunacy to say he wont. I am blessed and thankful to have lived during this period in time and experience golf with Tiger.

[@ikaikamaleko8370]

My dad told me that Tiger came to Oahu when he was in junior golf. He came with his father to Leilehua GC in Wahiawa, where a lot of the Army guys played, my dad was on the club there. He told me a story about Tiger playing the front 9 one day there and he and his buddies got wind of it and followed him and Eatl for 9 holes. I remember he came home and all he talked about was this young kid that they followed and they had never seen anyone hit a golf ball like they did that day watching this young black kid named Tiger......he said to me...." this kid was something else, you know they say hes gonna set all kinds of records one day".I was on my way to bball practice and just shrugged it off, " yea dad okay, I hear ya" LOL😂

I saw a story on Tiger Woods way back when around 1994. That summer I happened to meet a top junior golfer and asked him about Tiger. He said Tiger was way overrated but Justin Leonard was incredible and would have ten times the career of Tiger.

[@radjedi2010]

@Hullabaloo I don't, it was at an unrelated summer program and we didn't hang out other than that one night. I just chuckle from time to time because of how dismissive he was when I brought up Tiger. I think I had seen a magazine story on Tiger.

his swing was better before Butch got hold of him...at 6:14 look at his swing at the top...with the exception of his lower body his position is outstanding

[@KarlsCracklingCottonMouth]

You missed spelled Haney.

[@norrispg6085]

@@KarlsCracklingCottonMouth funny, but what little Haney did (create left forearm rotation in his backswing) helped...Butch actually shortened his swing by restricting his turn to get rid of the "across the line position" at the top - much like he did with Norman - which didn't fix the closed position both players were in...it essentially was a band-aid which both players later lamented

[@norrispg6085]

[@JordansTake35]

@@norrispg6085 He's that long here cause he is firing his hips early and hard to generate lag and speed, But it is very hard to be accurate that way. Once he started playing on tighter PGA courses he shortened his swing and delayed his hip fire to gain much needed accuracy

[@norrispg6085]

@@JordansTake35 you mean NOT hard to generate lag and speed...if you paid attention to Tiger's career you noticed that after he started working with Butch, based on in part on him shortening his swing, his arms started finishing the back swing and the club got across the line at the top making him steep out of transition - obviously not what his goal was, but at that time Butch didn't understand the effect as is evidenced by what he was having Norman do over that previous 5 years...the effect of that steep transition combined with the range of hip motion lead to lower back problems and less accuracy for the given, lesser speed...Hank did fix that

Everyone in the golf circles knew that Tiger Woods was going to be great and he was. He went out and proved it by winning and crushing the competition until his fail from grace in 2009. What makes an athlete the ultimate legend is coming back down from rock bottom. 4 back surgeries, his infidelities, his DUI in 2017 and now he crawled himself from that hole and overcame those hurdles. This will be one of the greatest comeback stories in sports history.

HE MEANS MORE TO GOLF (HIS SPORT) THAN ANY OTHER ATHLETE HAS EVER MEANT TO THEIR RESPECTIVE SPORT! That is just the facts when Tiger plays well The Sales of Golf Equipment & Apparel is Way Up, More Rounds are Played at Golf Courses, Etc. Conversely when he plays bad the Ratings for the Televisied Broadcast are down! Look at all other sports and you can't say that! Basketball Ratings are at an All-time High after MJ Left.... Hockey is thriving and Gretsky is Gone..... NFL couldn't be more Popular and you can name a Plethora of player's that meant a lot to Football.... Tiger made Golf Cool.... That is what he did... He also helped Bridge the Racial Barrier often associated within the Golfing Community & that Is HONESTLY THE AREA OF HIS GREATEST IMPACT! RACISM IS UNNECESSARY AND FOOLISH AND WHILE IT ISN'T AS PREVALENT AS IT ONCE WAS. RACISM IS DEFINITELY STILL AN ISSUE AND IT'S VERY SAD & FOOLISH....IT COMES FROM SMALL MINDED INDIVIDUALS WHOM JUST WANT TO BREED HATE AND AT IT'S VERY CORE MAYBE THE SINGLE GREATEST FLAW IN OUR AMAZING COUNTRY WE LIVE IN!
