Tiger Woods makes TV visit and 1 intrigues ‘small and weak’ thoughts

Maybe the PNC Championship tease has you interested, as you both enjoyed when he and his son participated in main winner-family member affairand you wonder when he will play again, period. But Tiger Woods it was quiet on sunday. He said only two words if he will appear in two weeks.

“We’ll see.”

Hey, it wasn’t a no, although it wasn’t a yes.

Then there were the 15-time major winner’s thoughts on the guy who was currently performing an uncanny imitation of him, and yes, even Woods was impressed by Scottie Schefflerhis words drawn from the former odes spoken of him. Consider:

“His consistency every week, he doesn’t do anything wrong.”

“You see his footwork and all these different things, the contortions he gets into, but if you stand behind him and watch the flight of the ball, it’s very tight either way, left to right , from right to left, and he moves it slightly up and down. by all means.”

“His iron game is probably the best on the tour, and he hits it whenever he chooses to be high.”

“Yes, he’s making a significant amount of birdies, but he’s not making any mistakes. No doubles. No loose boges here and there. Sometimes he goes whole innings without three shots, maybe one with three shots. These are all plain and simple mistakes that he can just clean up, and if you do that over time, you’re going to put yourself in a lot of positions, and if you’re able to put yourself in a lot of positions, you can (win) a pair.”

Interesting, for sure. The thoughts came during Woods’ appearance on NBC, during the broadcast of the team’s final round World Challenge of Heroesthe year-end event that he organizes. The back-and-forth in these forums is usually easier — Woods probably wouldn’t agree to come on live TV to be grilled — but because they are, he’s probably a little more free and you get to random, such as the PNC update, or the Scheffler opinion.

Or discovering that his game once contained something you’d hear from the disabled, or non-Tiger Woodses.

Yes, Woods said he used to have a little baseball swing.

The insight came after Woods was shown a video of Scheffler’s footwork and Justin Thomas. Scheffler, as you may have seen by now, uses a so-called Shuffler Scheffler after contact, where his right leg turns back and his left leg twists. Thomas meanwhile engages ground forces as much as anyone.

said the announcer Dan Hicks: “Well, there are different ways to approach this game. This is kind of a modern take on footwork, Tiger. We’re going to show you a split screen here of Scottie Scheffler on the left, Justin Thomas on the right. That wasn’t your style, but these guys are doing it in a different way. There’s a lot of moonwalking going on here.”

Woods, however, admitted that he used to play a little like Thomas.

“No, I was like JT earlier in my career,” he said on air. “You know, I was one of the first to jump off the ground like that. This was in that generation where it was the reversed “C” – well, “K” and then “C”. I didn’t do it.

“I mean, I had a lot of baseball in me. My baseball swing came into my golf swing and I had that natural footwork like JT. I have always been small and weak. So I had to use the ground to get speed and power.”

Later, after a tee shot by Thomas, Woods was shown another video of his feet.

“Yes, stand on the right toe, move, wheel on the left heel, extend the left knee – and that’s how you get speed.”

Good to know.
