  1. I've been practicing with some old balatas. That ball is so fun. They should bring it back! New equipment, but make em use old balls.

  2. It sounds like he was joking about them balata balls like potentially he had solid core golf balls available to him before everybody else. Tiger‘s humor has historically been satirical and shortly after this interview solid core balls were made available but I’m sure tiger had the Primo tech for the time. extra point, as much as people want to give golf club technology credit for the advancements in forgiveness and length, the golf ball is the biggest difference. The modern ball flys so long and straight, Wind hardly affects them.

  3. What a nice young man. I'm sure he will have a happy and lifelong marriage while navigating professional golf.

  4. He was such a happy guy at the start. Then he just lost the ability to smile. Post the incident he has become more like his original self.

  5. What If he had to live out a rented car, scrap money together and eat Mac burgers to survive…..would he have been successful?
    He was a privileged young man with all the spoils!!!!

  6. I wonder if he looks back at these videos and says “I probably should have done a few things differently and I would still be able to walk!”

  7. How can you call this a "sport"? Next sport: who can flip boogers the furthest!

  8. He hits a hole-in-one in his first professional tournament… He wins the Disney invitational in Orlando and goes on to win The Masters in his Augusta debut… #GOAT
