Tiger Talks: Short Game Masterclass with Collin Morikawa

[@bobbybrumsey7466]

I like that there's no "host" character in this. Just two pros talking.

[@dylangeorge10]

how every video should be, we do not need a host ever

[@QenaitheCustodianGuard]

I think they thought the trottie type of character was overbearing in this, I love trottie but stuff like this was not really his thing. This is much better!

[@MrBrandybuck1120]

Tiger is incredible man. Not just for everything already mentioned, but he was a sponge when he was a kid. He would listen to all of these greats -- Seve, Palmer, Nicklaus, you name it. And he remembered everything. And now when he's talking to these young guys, all of that wisdom from generations past is coming back. What a gift he is to the sport of golf

[@Scottyham20]

Pure gold

[@SoundsofSulfur]

One thing that makes these videos more enjoyable is that you can tell the player paired with Tiger is genuinely engaged in picking his brain.

[@lointhecut]

Shits like gold to them. You can tell.

[@wigglytuffgaming]

Imagine you had 22 mins to ask the greatest golfer to ever exist whatever you wanted... That's what homie was just experiencing.

[@AsianTankPilot]

It’s amazing how much thought goes into every shot for pros.

[@paulbrusuelas6706]

Every time I hear Tiger talk with other Pro's, he swings and thinks differently than everyone. He relies so much on feel and his hand work - you can't teach that. It takes an incredible amount of talent + work to pull it off. But it's also probably why he's so great in pressure situations - he see's the shot, leans on his experience and just feels the swing. No over thinking it.

[@rickhale7028]

Indeed. The art of the game, his game!

[@jeffreyyoungblood7438]

I agree. The only problem is it will become more susceptible to nerves as he ages.

[@rickhale7028]

@@jeffreyyoungblood7438 As Tiger migrates to the senior tour (expectation), we will see and hear about the affects on his game and how he adjusts. 👍

[@user-xn7uh5ch2z]

watching this, I feel golf is much more complicated than most people think. Pros seem to think about so many factors even when they just have a 15 yard chip shot

[@keernhaslem1845]

Most amateurs play golf swing. These guys play golf.

[@georgejung5429]

[@_ErIc1976]

I can take notes and watch Tiger explain golf all day

[@chrisl7511]

Love everything tiger is saying. My father taught me, i get everything hes saying about feel and hands. Grew up chipping around the yard, dad put a chipping green in. So much is just practice. Most we had was a pw and sand wedge. Had to get creative.

[@narclem]

Phenomenal to listen to how nuanced a player he is. Every last detail, every feel of the ball through his club feeding back to his hands.

[@narclem]

Shocked to hear them concerned about duffing or even playing it fat! Didn’t think they even worried about those things at this stage. Totally enjoyed listening to this!

[@Zach_Routhier]

The biggest take away here is there is no "right" way. Everyone has their game and the way they play the game. Fascinating.

Holy shit they have so many variable in their shots. Wrist set, hands high, off the toe, off the middle holy

See the single ball mark on Tiger’s wedge - the guy’s a savage, constant contact on the one spot. Mine on the other hand has marks all over the place 😂

This is so cool. Big call .. but I think Tigers short game artistry will give him a chance around Pinehurst. It brings him into the conversation

[@whitneymacdonald4396]

That is all so far out of my league but it was great to hear them talk about it. It's also amazing to hear how golfers pass knowledge along to the next generation- Tiger sharing what Seve told him with Collin.... And as great as he is, to see Collin's response to how Tiger thinks and goes about his shots is priceless.

[@hayden55r22]

I feel like Morikawa asks better questions than most of these other guys!

[@SaberKanwar]

This videos are so cool and interesting to watch. Could watch all day!

[@brieannafranze9853]

I love that I can watch what Tiger does as he explains now. Before, years ago when I just started, you had to read the article and try and figure it out. Now you can watch. It’s so much easier and love that he does this.

[@BOO66IOU]

Heard TIger mention Seve numerous times when it comes to the short game. I believe he went to see Seve and had a personal clinic on the short game and said he couldn't do or replicate some of the things that Seve was showing him! Would have been amazing if they'd got some footage of that.

[@BOO66IOU]

@@martynzl then try looking for the interview with tiger at the open just after seve died in 2011 where he talks about spending time with Seve and not being able to replicate the shots that Seve showed him. Tiger called Seve a genius. It's on here mate so I shouldn't be so hasty as to call me out as incorrect as I would say u are! Btw saying Seve played percentage shots and not difficult ones says u know nothing!

[@vicpnut1]

Holy crap that shot Collin took out of his divot “like a bunker shot ..” was phenomenal imo 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼 well all are phenomenal,especially when compared to my short or skulled chips ..but that one is a shot id kill to have

[@vicpnut1]

Then Tigers was just about as amazing in a more traditional way

[@zproxysi]

I bet that was a quick conversation with TaylorMade went when Tiger said, “I’ll be hitting my Bridgestone balls” in your video.

[@Tru7blue]

lol that’s crazy. I’m all Callaway except my glove and my TP 5 balls.

[@maxcaysey2844]

Last time I checked Tiger had the same bounce on both his 56 and 60, but that might have been course specific setup!

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

This video is a bit older. TW hasn't worn "Nike" since February 2024. TW has changed Bounce and Grind for certain grasses and conditions.

[@obsidian7644]

[@santosbuenrostro5580]

What Tiger calls “doing it with his hands”, I’ve always called “the shot that has to be played”. Not routine. Not stock. Not practice. The required shot.

[@commonman317]

It is strange that Tiger's way is almost the complete opposite of Dan Grieve's 3 releases short game approach. Yet, both Tiger and Dan are world class golfers. It's true, golf is hard.

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

Look again, because in the beginning TW is using a R1 style - "Toe Down, Handle Up". The second set is an R2 style played by TW. Also "the Lie" determines the Shot, along with him just having a wider landing area on the Green which allows for "more feel" during the Stroke, and reading the Green to set up the Roll Out. Quite similar to Dan's philosophy and techniques. And NOT automatically pulling 60° out of the Bag, letting the Situation determine "Club Selection".
