Tiger appears on GMA, earns dramatic victory over Michael Strahan in putting contest
On Monday morning, Tiger Woods appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America to promote his new book, The 1997 Masters: My Story. He spoke about the mental fortitude that fueled his past success, but the 14-time major champion offered little about his future, sticking to the script golf fans have grown accustomed to hearing in recent years.
When GMA host Michael Strahan asked him if he planned to play in the 2017 Masters, which is only two weeks away, Woods said:
“God, I hope so. I’m trying. I’m trying everything to get back and play.”
The most interesting part of Woods’ GMA appearance was a putting contest that saw the four-time Masters winner face off against Strahan, a 15-year NFL veteran with a Super Bowl ring and seven Pro Bowl appearances. The competitive juices were flowing (at least for a morning TV show) and Woods capped off the exhibition with a buzzer beater and a signature fist pump that was surprisingly powerful (and graceful) for a man said to be unable to hit golf balls right.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons
In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.
For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- btyh: “Holy offset.”
- Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
- bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing
As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.
Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.
Watch @shanelowrygolf, @graysonmurray, @smyliekaufman10, and @samrydersu in #SrixonVS. pic.twitter.com/C4LJwQgmZ7— Srixon (@SrixonGolf) June 25, 2018
Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.

Ouch, that receding hairline!
I’m no fan of his but I actually think he’s quite good at this stuff, admittedly as much as it may be an act on his part, he’s pretty good on TV in this type of situation. It does show up a major misjudgement made bu him/his management during the bulk of his career. If he had done a few of these a year, ok it might have slightly damaged what he saw as his “impregnable aura of invincibility” amongst his peers, but I think it would have softened a lot of golf fans to him who otherwise have been polarised against him with his on course and in press conference actions over the years.

Tiger on with Van Pelt (espn) tonite. Sounds like a broken record, more reps, trying to feel better. I think he’s trying to convince himself. I don’t feel sorry for him, but it must be tough for him…

Tiger’s looking like Dr. Dre in his old age. He needs to shave his head and get it over with. The ‘roids have given him “fathead”, same as Dre.
