Beyond his power and exquisite skills Tiger Woods was at his best when he faced tough lies & pressure shots and transformed into golf's Houdini. He had ice in his veins and would take up the challenge no matter how bleak. Check out this vintage escape from Muirhead Village in 1999 when he absolutely duffs his first chip prompting commentator and all time legend Jack Nicklaus to say: "Now he's going to have a hard time making 5". But Tiger never gives up, owns his mistake and holes a sublimely timed flop shot for a par 4, responding like true champions do. Tiger then does an iconic fist pump, botches his fist bump with caddie Steve Williams and leaves Vijay Singh stonefaced. Tiger would win the tournament by two strokes over Vijay. We are all going to duff a shot at some stage but its how you come back from the disappointment that matters. #Tiger #Guts Credit: PGA Tour
The differences between my golf game and Tiger Woods' game are vast, but best summed up in that clip. I would regularly do the first and never the second, he would rarely do the first and regularly do the second.
It’s hard to miss, when you believe in your craft so much
Wow, that first shot was me at every one of the 18 holes I played last week at The Coast...
Amazing never give up attitude like dno guts 👏👏🥃😮
I do that regularly! (The first shot, not the second 😩)
How good! His short game was out on another 🌍🪐
Incredible stroke from such a difficult lie and pin position
"...how 'bout a 4? HOW 'BOUT A 4!?"
