The PGA Tour's official YouTube channel put out 4 short videos on Tiger Woods recently. I haven't seen them posted yet, so here they are. [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvP1LUlfAbE&feature;=g-all-u[/video] [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RowXnGKTdjg&feature;=youtu.be[/video] [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxu6Srn4AC8&feature;=youtu.be[/video] [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_OtPORDeyE&feature;=youtu.be[/video] It seems like the goal was to re-invigorate interest in him (and thus golf) by reminding us of how good he was and the fact that he's picked back up recently while competing against the younger generation of golfers his legacy helped build. But it almost came across with something of a "farewall" vibe, like the homage you pay when a great athlete retires.

I don't take any of it as a retirement homage. All 4 of those come across as a warning shot of watch out for this guy, remember what he used to do? At least that's how I saw them.

I agree that's how they were intended. But I thought it had a [i]subtle[/i] feel of the homage aspect. Regardless, it looks like they're hoping he'll bring some more popularity to the game.

There was a video that I saw on golf channel around december a promo for pga tour 2012 and it was about how tiger showed he could win on a broken leg but not a broken mind. I have looked and looked for that commercial but can not find it. gave me chills and would love for somebody to share it if they could find it.

    • I doubt Bryson cares about promoting LIV. Airing grievances with the PGAT on social media is more of a Greg Norman and Phil thing. Does he even really mention his team or whatever on his videos? I haven’t watched many of them but I don’t recall seeing that. He’s promoting his own brand (himself) with his social media.
    • Day 9:  hit a bucket at the range with my driver and did a little putting 
    • Yeah but then he effed it all up by going to LIV. If he didn't, I would be celebrating right now. But he chose to drink sheik juice.
    • A little refresher. here is an article about Bryson at the 2021 Ryder Cup. He was the "entertainer" then. "Wherever he went the crowd welcomed him like a Packer walking into an Oshkosh bar, and DeChambeau responded with nods and thumbs-up and cap-tips and shouts of “Let’s go!” On the sixth, when the crowd began to boo when he grabbed his 3-wood, Bryson loudly proclaimed, “Guys, I’m still going for the green, calm down,” which dialed the cheers back to 10. Spectacle recognizes spectacle, after all. On this afternoon, one would have had a hell of a time explaining to an outsider that he was the most divisive guy in golf."   Ryder Cup 2021: How Bryson DeChambeau won the week, and found redemption, after summer from hell | Golf News and Tour Information | Golf Digest No American had more questions entering the Ryder Cup than DeChambeau. By Sunday evening, he answered them all and looked, at long last, like he was enjoying golf again.  
    • So I have been hitting my driver a lot better this year. Massive slice is gone (unless I try and kill the ball, which I avoid doing now), and a bad drive is now more of a big fade. However my launch angle is pretty low. I went to a range with TopTracer today, and when I was using my driver I was probably averaging about 5 or 6 degrees launch angle. Unfortunately the only stat I can see on the app is that for the long drive game I averaged 251 yards, so I don't have any other numbers.    What are some of the likely causes of having such a low launch angle? I am thinking I am either hitting down on the ball, or the ball is too far forward in my stance and I am catching it a little thin (while I don't feel like I hit consistently thin, a thin miss is definitely more common than a pop-up miss.    I play the ball off my front foot big toe. Is that not a good spot? Could I be standing too close to the ball? It isn't uncommon for me to hit one a little bit with the heel, but I basically never feel I hit one of the toe.
