Exquisite display of ball striking. My favorite of Tiger’s Major wins.

[@brettboaz9051]

It’s so crazy how he came up with this plan to lay up short of every bunker and land center green on every approach and trust his lag putting. He did exactly that on every hole and never changed.

[@jeremeymiller3406]

Easy to do when your as long as he was and your the best iron layer and pressure putter next to Jack of all time. 🤣 I wouldn’t say he played to the center of the green of every hole as much as he played to the correct quadrant of the green and was disciplined in playing to his landing areas. If you’ve ever heard him talk about his strategy in the way he plays he says he is alway playing aggressively to his spot which rarely if ever the flag unless the course is just soaked. I really took that to heart when i was younger and it made me a better player I never thought strategically like that when I played but when I started to around 16 I got a lot better even breaking par for the first time. So even now when I play if I can see the flag I know what side of the tee box I’m going to and what side of the fairway I want to be in to access pins and more importantly where you do not want to miss and short side yourself. him and Jack are very similar in that way just goes to show it’s about more than the swing!

[@Eldrickshoezzz]

It was actually Stevie’s plan! There’s a podcast out called chasing majors where he talks about it. It’s awesome

[@elmalloc]

@@jeremeymiller3406 tl;dr drive for show, putt for dough

[@jeremeymiller3406]

@@Eldrickshoezzz from what I read in Hank haney’s book it was an obvious but collective agreement after only playing a couple practice holes they could see how firm fast and dry the conditions were but mainly they saw that if you were to find one of those fairway pot bunkers you were pretty much dead chipping out sideways so instead of overpowering the course like he did in 2000 and play over the bunkers it was firm enough to get away with being short of them I remember thinking at the time that I’d never seen anyone hit it 60yds plus past Tiger off the tee but like in 2000 incredibly didn’t find a bunker all week whoever came up with it, it sure as hell paid off! 🤣

[@gregorycampbell9386]

[@AgilityAgent]

Fantastic round of golf. A masterclass in putting and iron play. He made it looked easy and made everybody else looked dumb.

[@rorygillmore6555]

We're all liking this, but not for the reason you think. 😂

[@joeythomas9251]

All these people in the comment section have no idea what course conditions are all about. It doesn’t have to be green to be good. The greens still roll true and the fairways are still great surfaces to hit off of, it’s just a different color. That’s just classic links golf.

[@MarkSmithhhh]

Yep, I don't think people also fathom how hard it is to do what he did on a links course by not going into ANY bunkers for 4 DAYS! That is simply not possible, you're going to be in a bunker if you play links...not tiger woods tho

[@MarkSmithhhh]

That is a man that, despite being the best ball striker on the planet by a mile at the time, simply understood course management at a level nobody else could fathom...absolutely master-class in course management

[@captpicard6894]

I still think from a Golf strategy point of view this is Tigers best major win. He had a game plan, stuck to it, and he was playing well enough to perfectly execute it. Brilliant win.

[@TheLocalLt]

Certainly one of Tiger’s best and most creative performances

[@ProdigyHighlights]

Whenever I'm having a bad streak, I come back to this video to give myself a visualization of how to hit my irons.

[@markh9246]

Masterclass to play that course like that

[@lawbinson]

How he is holding off on his follow through to hit it low is pretty awesome

[@MarkSmithhhh]

It's absolutelt amazing, and I'll bet that the trajectory is identical every single time

[@twilithycurves]

Tigers best ball striking week ever! (that and the 00’ Us Open)

[@pkkim5058]

i disagree. Although the weeks that you mentioned are superb weeks for tiger, i would say the 2007 tour championship was the best ball striking week for tiger as his former coach hank haney said it is.

[@Karl_with_a_K]

With the Haney, Hogan inspired swing Tiger certainly struck it beautifully. He went looking for more distance with Foley, and the rest is history.

[@TheLocalLt]

@@pkkim5058 if you’re including non majors it would have to be the 2002 WGC AmEx Championship in Ireland, where he played the entire tournament bogey-free until the 72nd hole

Tiger is the best scrambler, if he hit fairways 35% more his game would be complete domination.

[@MarkSmithhhh]

Yep, that's something that isn't talked about enough...he could be ultra aggressive with any shot cause he knew he coild still scramble for par easily

[@chrismathis4162]

His game was complete domination in his prime.

[@MarkSmithhhh]

​@chrismathis4162 yep, he really didn't have a weakness...he hit the ball a mile, his irons were deadly accurate, his chipping was other-worldly, and he was the best putter in the world by leaps and bounds...he could hit any shot, any trajectory, off any lie, with any club if he needed to scramble...his imagination and ability to see shots hasn't been duplicated since AND he understood the game of golf and course management better than anyone by far...in his prime, when he was firing in all cylinders, nobody could even touch him

[@amitchell2009]

It really was. That’s actually what every one of his tee shots looked like that day with an iron. Brilliant game plan to just get it into the fairway

[@MarkSmithhhh]

God that sound...if you're a golfer and you're 3 stalls down on the range and you hear that, you just KNOW someone just smashed the crap out of the ball...it's an amazing sounds of pure, dead on, compression at a fast swing speed...absolutely beautiful

[@MarkSmithhhh]

​@amitchell2009 he didn't end up in a bunker all weekend...on a links course how is that even possible? Absolute master class in ball-striking but equally so in course management, he was really something during his prime

[@johnskrb]

Two comments: 1) this vid would be better titled to indicate it is the final round only; 2) you cut it a bit too early, leaving out his memorable display of emotion at the end

[@Gitfiddle]

Is this the tournament when he played with Garcia who was dressed head to toe in banana yellow? Tiger said something like “I just played a round with Big Bird.” Or something like that?! 🤣

[@ianpoulter1442]

Indeed it is sir...I”m from the UK n this is a classic links course in pristine condition👍😄

[@thomascjweller]

It normally rains more here so this is it particularly dry (summer) and because of the sandy soil it doesn't take much for it to dry out like this.

[@InspireApon]

@@thomascjweller i guess that makes sense, links course are built by the ocean. You can see how sandy it is on tigers second shot.

100 foot putts and 200 yard 9-irons are not uncommon in links style play .

[@rustyshackleford5443]

Its a fuckin horse track

[@myleslawler6866]

I was at Hoylake for the Open that year. The ground was so parched (even more so than appears on camera) that good play revolved around holding the ball on something akin to an ice rink. Woods' play was very conservative, boring even, as a result.

[@rglover2410]

[@jeremyhowell8235]

The commentator is right. It really should be made a condition of sale on championship tickets that spectators not shout:"get in the hole!" at every drive, approach shot, chip and putt. It would also be good if commentators could not greet impressive shots with exclamations like: "you're kidding me!" and "get out of here!" It's vacuous.

[@jeremeymiller3406]

Perfect example of how old crotchety stuck up announcers don’t have a place in professional sports anymore. Tiger brought fans from all walks of life some who couldn’t care less about golf they just wanted to see a celebrity and it’s that kind of swarm that skyrocketed our great sport tiger woods made it cool to play golf. People like his commentator made it uncool by not willing to embrace surge of people as if they didn’t belong Tiger ended that elitist mentality in a big way. As long as it’s after the player makes contact who cares if they yell? Turn your microphone down then! Tiger is barely aware of it to begin with hes so locked in. players well at least most US players love rowdy respectful crowds they feed on it especially players like Tiger. You know what I wish old timer? that they had a mute button for you and other commentators to shut you the hell up so we can hear the strategy and what the player and caddy are talking about when getting ready to play a shot. To me and a large amount of golf fans I’ve talked to all agree that’s infinitely more interesting than whatever the hell some old guy is babbling on about we don’t need anything but updates, and rule official explanations from them. we can see full well what the hell just happened after a particular shot if not you will on instant replay and for those who can’t that’s what play by play on the radio is for. It’s people like this who made the sport of golf boring or turned it on to get to sleep. Compared to 2006 I’d say we’re moving in a better direction 🤦🏻‍♂️
