Vintage Tiger's Grate Escape ␛

Flashback to the 1997 Byron Nelson, where Tiger Woods won on his first start back since his historic Masters win. TW's drive lands near a storm grate on the 15th Hole and has to navigate the best shot to take with his caddy Fluff. STOMP ON 'EM, BABY!

“The strategy was good; the execution even better.” Way to go, Tiger! 🐅 🔥

It was a privilege to be able to watch Tiger at his prime . It was pure magic. You guys have Jack but we have Tiger.

The guy behind them listening must have been stoked lol

Those of you who didn't get to witness Tiger's domination, trust us, it was like this every weekend... It was a sight to behold

It’s so cool to see a young Tiger with one of golf’s grates!

I recall volunteering every year at the LA Open at Riviera where I worked in Communications. The phones rang off the hook for people wanting Tiger’s tee times. I could tell when talking with many of these fans over the phone that many of them weren’t even golfers. They just wanted to follow Tiger the phenom. and then when he played his rounds, hundreds followed him. It was exciting and amazing seeing the energy and attention he created for the sport back then.

I heard him tell this story. He said “ I stepped up and could see it was perfectly teed up for me. I just played out the drama.”

I feel like when Tiger watches his own shots he's thinking the same thing everyone else is "How did I do that???" 😂

When tiger was in his prime, he made golf exciting to watch

[tomtucker]

No other golfer has brought so much talent and unbelievable ball
Striking to the game! It has been a sight to behold, and weekend excitement!

These days I was glued to the television. No kids, less responsibilities, more money in my accounts. The good old days man.
Tiger is golf. He made it a global phenomenon. He made it cool. The Michael Jordan of golf. No question.

This is where, in my opinion, Tiger excelled over everyone else. His short game and imagination were untouchable.

What makes him so great is that he puts himself in these situations all the time, but always manages to recover so well.

[dylangarcia]

The greatest player in the history of golf. No question

[billbrobaggins]

It took like 300 Scandinavian whoowah's and a divorce to even dent this man's game. Absolute legend.

[TheBeefTrain]

People don't realize just how good Tiger is. Imagine doing all of this with a walrus for a caddy.

[calekarr]

That *THWACK* is just the best sound. Barely disturbed the grass.

[dementus]

The freaking man. I always forget ol fluff caddied for tiger for a while back in the day.

[repure]

Brought so many eyeballs to the sport! And still

[darrylking]

Miss these days. It’s hard watching him play with a failing body. It’s hard watching all these sports greats we grew up with getting old.
