championships to his name and has long been considered one of the greatest golfers of all time, so his brilliant advice is worth listening to.
Professional golfer Tiger Woods however has a word to those amateur golfers who want to improve their performanceā do not watch YouTube tutorials.
The 15 times major champion born in 1975 and having about 82 PGA tour titles under his belt from rigorous practice sessions feels that the YouTube golf tutorials are not healthy. In fact, when asked at a clinic about the best way for golfers to improve, he simply said: “Don’t watch YouTube.”
He elaborated on this, advising: “Go hit ballsā¦ just beating balls.” Despite being hailed as the world’s best player during his prime, Woods always made sure to put in the hours off the course to keep his form and game at peak level.
Reflecting on his own practice routine in 2019, after his Masters victory, he revealed: “My practice routineā¦ It has changed over the years. I used to work on everything, every day, but I can no longer do that anymore. So I have to pick my parts.
“A lot of my prep time revolves around my kids. I get my work done while they’re at school, and that’s usually my lift and my practicing, and then go pick them up, and after that, it’s usually either soccer practice or dad stuff.”
Woods’ schedule has become more relaxed in recent times due to serious injuries from a car crash in 2021. Since his accident, Woods has adopted a more selective approach to playing, featuring only in the major tournaments and making a single appearance at February’s Genesis Invitational before illness forced him to pull out in round two.
This year, Woods is preparing for his fights and plans to become a host of the Hero World Challenge in December. āI am not going to play before then,ā Woods said about the event in Bahamas. Itās the same thing, they are saying āI am going to just keep improving the physical aspect of my game and keep on it.ā
Tiger Woods who was the king of menās professional golf won the Masters four times, the PGA championship four times, the US open three times and the Open championship three times between 1997 and 2008. Even if the American did not get the main for the next five years, he was winning big PGA Tour events- the Players Championship, in 7 shots in 2013.
Woods suffered through a spate of injuries between 2013 and 2018 but when he duly triumphed in the Tour Championship in the latter year, the world was promptly reminded. A year later, he achieved that feat by clinching the Masters for a fifth time seven months after that stupendous victory.
