Think this was Tiger’s best shot of 2018? He does.
It has been an extraordinary year for Tiger Woods. Nobody knew what to expect from the 14-time major champion on his comeback from spinal fusion surgery, not even himself. But Woods performed brilliantly throughout 2018, before bagging his first victory on the PGA Tour in five years, at the Tour Championship in September.
Along the way, Woods has hit a plethora of phenomenal shots, and he was today asked at a pre-tournament press conference for the Hero World Challenge what he considers to be the most remarkable shot that he has hit this year and why. The 80-time winner on the PGA Tour didn’t need too much time to think about his answer to the question, having one moment in particular on his mind.
“The shot I hit down 10 at the Open Championship out of that bunker, I thought that, ‘This is the tournament. I win the Open Championship or I lose the Open Championship on this shot.’ If it clips the bunker, I lose. If it comes out, I’m going to go ahead and win this thing.
You saw the speed I put into it and the shot I hit. To be able to pull that off knowing that I hadn’t done this for a very long time and this is the moment … that gave me a lot of confidence going forward.”
Here is the shot that Woods is talking about, and although after pulling it off he didn’t go onto win the event, I think we can all agree that it was one hell of a shot.

No, but it was definitely his most egotistical one – listen to him talk about it tell you everything you want to know, that he wishes he could be like Brooks: white, good looking, ripped and with a beautiful model lady

Must be a slow golf news day.
I realize this guy moves the needle, but it would be refreshing to read about what a creep this guy really is – amazing how he gets a pass for all of his aberrant behavior in the past, along with the fact that he really is just not a good person.
Write/talk about his past achievements in golf – but stop making him out to be this great ambassador for the game – takes good character for that – something he does not have.

If he say it was, then it was.
The iron shot to #15 in the final round of the PGA wasn’t too bad either.
