Will Tiger Woods' victory make him more popular than ever?
Speak For Yourself Yes, Nike is about to eat this up. And their are kids same age as Tigers son that knew he won. I asked some this morning.
Whitlock you were the one said he wasn't going to win major after he lost the open!
I disagree with cowherd I'm 28 years old and i'm not a fan of any of the young players except finau!
I never counted tiger out he's my idol I don't care what he's past is
Without a doubt. TW fans have been waiting for his comeback... they never left. The majority of golfers who didn't like Tiger, including myself, have been rooting for his comeback. TW brought Augusta to its knees in 97 and he made it roar yesterday. The guys on tour have never heard A Tiger roar and they cracked. His popularity grew like wildfire yesterday. Time to let the hair or patches of hair go Tiger... or NEVER take your hat off again...NEVER!!!!!!
This is embarrassing to watch. A month ago they were all hating on him now they cant stop talking about him
Rafa Carles typical
Especially the fat guy
Yeah, they all now have changed the narrative to popularity.. what a joke! Cowards. Whitlock and Co-ward for sure!
I don't care one bit about golf but to see this man fall from the heights he once held ..and come all the way back to win again years later...that's why I'm here
GUAN ZILLA Get into golf. No more frustrating sport that makes you want to get better. Been loving it. 👍🏼
I stood in a bar at a golf resort in Spain over the last 9 holes and every person in the bar was rooting and cheering for Tiger
Two days later and I still can’t believe it. This Friday is my 45th bday and I wasn’t going to do anything, but now I’m taking the day off to play golf with my dad.
2018: "Tiger will never win another major"
2019: "Tiger will never be dominant like he once was"
Packer...Hehehehe...Last I checked, if someone really has unique sports prediction talent, they will make huge money betting on sports while lounging around by their pool. These stuffed suit "experts" are just doing this crystal ball act because they are told by the network bosses to do this silly prediction stuff.
Tiger Wins Major...
This guys will not admit their mistakes in thinking Tiger will no longer WIN
28-3 was a big one for me. I turned the game off at 28-3. I checked in on the score on Google some. I saw that the Patriots were driving to tie the game, ran to the TV and was in awe of what Brady and the Patriots managed to pull off. What a great sports moment.
"I've considered Tiger for the past 5 years a former golfer" - Colin
he admitted this, etc, he came clean
Only tiger can stop LeBron topics for a day lol
Tom Brady can during Superbowl time of the year
and they still manage to sneak in lebron at the end lolololololololololol, but yes that was a good comparison though with the pushback
Tigers>Lions
The first time i saw Tiger played golf was like early morning here in our country. I don't play golf, until now, and its not a popular sports here, and i just knew some basic rules of the game. But i was glued to the TV until 3 am to watch the guy. The next day, i did some research and information about golf and about the man. I followed his games and careers and i saw how he dominates the world of golf. I also saw his downfalls and breakdown. But I still read and follow his games and thinking at the back of my mind, come on Tiger just one more time. And he did it. Maybe im just one of the million (silent) fans that now lucky enough to witness this most memorable story that Tiger written for us. Let's cherish the moment while the man still plays golf and inspire us that once in the field of any sports there is one man that connect us AS ONE, all over the world. Thank you Sir Tiger!
Which country are you writing from?
Tiger has 5 years to break Jack's record. Consider the record broken. Period!
Tiger will be more popular now. It's crazy to have watched his entire career and it comes to this. Not a golf fan but I understand the game and this was special.
I'm so happy for tiger right now
I agree he will be more popular now. He’s been humbled in so many ways. TIGER : Never forget this lesson in humility!! God bless you and your family!!
Tiger will catch and pass Jack. Last 3 majors, led the Open in the final round, finished 2nd in the PGA then won the Masters. He is back and playing well in big tournaments.
And he can still play much better. He won the Masters with just patience, guile, experience, mental strength and endurance rather than overpowering skill or talent and without making a single eagle. Ranked 40 something out of 65 players in driving distance and driving accuracy, he was pulling a page out of Ben Hogan's golfing philosophy, with consistent fundamentals.
yes then he will rise up and fly
I agree with you, It's going to be hard for him to play after 50 ... but I see him winning at least 1 major per year during the next 5 years, if his back can handle it
And I forgot to mention that he would have won the FedEx cup if Rory would have made his 12 ft eagle putt and ended up tied with Justin. Tiger would have won by fractions. He's back!!!
I don’t want to get ahead of this great win, but if he wins another major? Man that’ll chat will be back in the mix. 👍🏼
Tiger was and still is my idol he is the reason i got into golf even when he wasn't playing well attall i was sitting watching him with my fingers crossed willing him to win so you can imagine how i feel now that he has finally won another major i am just so happy for him and my love and passion for golf has came back just like his comeback to greatness
I basically cried
Let's be honest. everybody wrote Tiger off. This is a true come back/redemption story. Good for him.
The competition was just as good when tiger was in his prime. Phil, Vijay, Els, Duval, Westwood, Garcia, etc
Always about brains over braun in ⛳ being in shape helps.
Dough Boy- I say the samething about his competition back then. Just as good for sure!
The last 5 years have been trying to rebuild his body and his game. 2 years ago he thought it was over. Then he was happy to play, but there were questions if he could win. Then he won the Tour Championship. Then there were questions of if he could win a major. Now he's done that. The flood gates are open. He's #6 in the world and got there in a year. He probably always knew he could do it, but now he *knows* he can do it. He is going to go on a run over the next 5 years. That's 20 major attempts to win 3 for a tie and 4 to break the record. He can pace himself like he used to because he doesn't have to play his way back into form or play his way into eligibility. He will be laser focused on the majors. He knows how to peak. He will play fewer events, like he did in his prime, but now it will be to keep his back healthy. The young guns better put on their seatbelts.
Exactly
More popular when he now is a better person who overcame so much and now able to beat all the better athletes nowadays!
He relatable to us now. Right? Never was a fan till recently. Now I find myself pulling for him
How is he a better person?? Serious question, what am I missing?
Jordan hugging the trophy Father's Day. Even him hugging it the first time. My faves.
Mike was on the floor, bawling. Face down.
Great come back. Would make a awesome movie.
It depends on what you consider popular. He was super famous in his prime, but not necessarily super well liked. He's becoming more well liked now after going through so much. People can relate to that and the fact that he seems to be a much nicer human being now than he was back then will serve him well going forward.
An old man myself....Ali beating Foreman was the same sort of emotion I had...
That chick at the '96 Olympics doing the vault on one ankle
That was Kerri Strug, Right?
Hate to say it but I 1000 percent agree with Jason.
Not mesmerizing now...? 😂 do you blokes get paid for this... watch the 18th at east lake and the crowds stacked on the 17th tee watching tiger at 16 not even watching the tee at 17. Lay off the beers before the show lads
Exactly That 18th hole at the players championships was like god came down to earth.
Look at the reaction yesterday when he won. People were in ecstacy.
Cowherd's returned! Gangs all Here lol!
yes , he can be more popular than ever . i watch his game when ever he play from the first to the last hole. from GUAM.
Yes he will and is already more popular.
2 people on here need to do a public apology.
Shocked at tigers iron play being his strong suit 😕 massive casuals! He is the best middle and short iron player that’s ever lived and his drives have always been wayward! Golf is won between the ears not in the size of your biceps.
Lol isn't it funny to watch guys who know little to nothing about golf pretend to know what they are talking about. Just the little way non golfers say things vs the way golfers say things give them away immediately.
Jordan McGinnis hahaha 100%!!! It’s hard to watch! 🤦♂️
D Bo yea. He is also the best scrambler of all time. So many errant tee shots in the worst positions and getting creative to stick the pin.
Tiger bulked up a bit to much, and has always swung as hard as anyone on Tour in history-the result? The litany of injuries he suffered? Other than the back, the others are more related to the sports that require quick movement (basketball) etc. I remember watching him in person for the first time ('96) in Vegas, where he won his first tournament as a professional. It was Sunday, and he was right up there competing for the win. We picked him up in the fairway I think on the 12th hole (par 5). He was nursing a groin injury, that he may have suffered at this tournament. Anyways, again, he was injured-not a big deal, as many pro golfers I'm sure have experienced a mild groin pull. Of course the difference was he was only 20 yrs old, and the young body heals itself in most cases, which it did, as later that month, as he won his second pro tournament. The back however, as I personally can attest to, is a whole different matter, especiaily when it comes to golf. Obviously the previous surgeries didn't involve fusing the vertebrae, which he finally had performed as a last resort. Kudos to the laborious recovery and strengthening regiment that I'm sure was required to get to where he is. He's thankful for every painless swing, especially knowing it could be his last.
Congratulations TIGER!
the charisma of tiger today is at all time high!
The prominence of social media has changed things. It could make him more popular if he sustains this comeback.
So hard to compare Tiger and Jack. Severe health issues, and a far more competitive field compared to the old days.
But better medical nowadays
It's the hardest to climb to the top but it's harder than the hardest when you fall down to the bottom and can climb back to the top again.
Tiger is absolutely more popular now than before, just look at how much you’re talking about him.
Tiger has a lot of willpower. A LOT. What an inspiration.
I don't think these guys appreciate the mental aspect of the game enough. Yes Tiger isn't as physically dominant as he was, but the man has the mental fortitude and experience to make up for the physicality and then some.
Tiger will end up with 20 Majors and 90 PGA WINS... when it's all said and done...
Delilah Puddingstash 🤔 Interesting. Guess we’ll see. 👍🏼
He’ll win four majors this year.. a true grand slam.. mark my words .. a sleeping tiger is awoken
Got his fifth green blazer
All of my friends who are teens don’t root for anybody else except tiger.
Kirk Gibson's pinch hit home run against Oakland. Add to that Vince Scully's call.
Liverpool beating AC Milan in the Champions League, came back from 3-0 at HT. Greatest comeback since Lazarus!!! LOL
Barca - PSG 6-1 come back
Peter Bank that was a great comeback but that was over two legs, not in same game.
Disagree w/ Colin. I grew up loving Tiger & he’s still my favorite. I like other guys and don’t mind other guys winning, but still root hard for Tiger. I went to the Memorial last year & only followed him the entire day. That was w/ DJ & others on the course.
He’s right ppl 4get woods did not receive a lot of love his 8 yrs professional... I’m glad he did it w/social media
Is wired to see Colin on as a guest on someone else show he’s humble now
I think Tiger knows he cannot overpower to win anymore, he used patience, skill, and intelligence to win. Playing this way will put less pressure on his body and give him the best chance to get that record! He has such insane pressure put on him by his father, I think he is finally playing for himself or it feels this way. What an amazing achievement!
had not has...derp.
And if I can be so bold...yes, Tiger will catch and pass Jack..."of course he will". But I freely admit (and it is why I put my prediction in quotes) that I am wrong way more often than I am right.
He definitely already more popular now if that’s possible..
Like they say... TIGER IS THE NEDDLE !!
The GOAT Cowherd back on SFY
I like that Cowherd also
These 3 and no one else. I’d watch everyday.
Greatest individual sports accomplishment ever. Next...
I was. never a Tiger fan before this recent Masters, and I am 72. He seems more warm and human now.
its called growth! Natural maturation. Humility. How would you have been. 25 yrs old Billionaire? Easy to judge, right?
@@mr.sunrise3933 Right, I was a fool at 25. A little better now. I am happy for him. :)
Whitlock you contradict yourself ALL THE TIME!
Literally ALL THE TIME!!!!-
A joke!!! SMH!
No way Tiger 2.0 can supplant the original version. He was a PHENOMENON!
58 to 1 thumbs up in a sfy segment with whitlock
never seen that before
Tiger just won the Masters, that's 'prime' for me.
MJ made me watch basketball Tiger gave me interest in golf #4 made me watch football they all went away but then late last yr a tiger sighting now im watching golf again ty tiger
Tiger literally is a Rocky movie now. There will be a movie of his life. They could play the Rocky theme song when he appears.
Tiger could being to dominate again over the next 5 years. God only knows how long he can go and keep winning, but Jack's record will be broken, no question.
People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. People will never forget how you made them feel. - Gal Gadot.
I miss Colin on this show low key
Collins always finds a way to throw L. James into any topic he's on!!! Any!!!!! It's insane!!!!
Exactly. And I'm not sure when Lebron ever threatened Jordan's leagacy. That latest NBA player poll suggests that Lebron was only close to Jordan in the minds of the media talkingheads and his nuthuggers.
When Tiger played with Trump: “he doesn’t represent us, he’s not black”
Today: “of course he’s black”
Interesting.
He never acknowledged he was black, because he is mixed. Nobody says he represents black people for Golf, but he is the symbol for Black People and that sport. He just is and will be, just like how Larry Bird somewhat represents White People in a black dominant NBA.
Tiger doesn’t represent me, I’m black.
Roar Tiger Roar!
Whitlock and Cowherd past comments and animosity towards Tiger are soooooo much different today. LOL
"he'll never be as dominant as he once was"...? No one on tour is dominant right now. So, that leaves the door wide open for you - know-who. 🐅🐅🐅🐅
4:51 The quick snip! Watch Wiley's face.
Kids are plane killers. How is that a snip?
@@Entei1482 addicted to 'plane killers'? what's that?
pain killers?
He know nothing about golf... Tiger will be bigger then ever..
if he eats too much
I agree. People will be watching to see if he breaks Sam Sneads record and of course Jack Nicklaus' majors tiltles record. He has the experience now. If he can continue to hold down his nerves he will get it done. I hope he does it. Only time will tell. GO TIGER!!!
@@philserna3581Totally agree
Well because virtually nobody that hasn’t seen tiger win before...watches golf.....
Keep that same energy Cowherd
He's gonna win 19 in total(4 more) before he turns 48yrs old(5 yrs).
Easily!
He's more popular now.....
TYY-GUHH...TYY-GUHH...TYY-GUHH!👑
Tiger I remember was invincible. Tiger in the come back still has to prove that he can win again. If he wins another major, I will convinced he is back.
That was not expected at all, well done Tiger! You finally roared and everyone heard that!

@t
He’s mesmerizing af
He last won the masters in 2005 not 2008. 🐅
Not only is he going to catch Jack, he'll pass him. #19 or 20.
Bro, I've always said 20 will be the #. I've said it n 2009, If I'm alive by 2029, That should be the #...
Glad tiger got his win
Tiger was selfish before cause of how golf was back then...
He had to be what he was.. Now the world of golf has changed and it was because of Tiger..
So I will never hold the old Tiger attitude against him. In fact I loved it..
The only time I watch golf is when Tiger Woods plays.I am sure I am not alone. No one I knows watches golf they watch Tiger. .OMG I watched the whole video,are these guys for real
This was like Michael Jordan coming back to "basketball" life.
Tiger wasn't even swinging hard. Malinari has to swing out of his shoes to play well there
I'm to young to have paid attention to Tiger in his prime and understand just what he meant to the game of golf but I'm also old enough to have caught and understand when Tiger said he didn't identify as being Black. Now if he had said he didn't just want to be known as the Black golfer that would've been cool whatever but he said something far different. Still congrats to Tiger.
I'm not sure I remember courses Nicholas proofing when he was beating the field. How can we compare the apple to the banana?
How can you say impossible?. Look at the crowds at Eastlake and the Masters. Social media nowadays helps too. Of course he is going to be more popular, more loved, and more relatable.
I didn't even get 1 minute into this video and I said exactly what Cowherd said.
Whitlock said Tiger would bogey the first hole.
100% rooting for tiger woods... as a Christian I love redemption stories
The weather men! They’re not always right.
@8:00 "Brooks Koepka looks like Tiger Woods and has been dominant like Tiger Woods " Guess I missed the Brooks slam. When did that happen?
Colin is probably freaking out having to sit at a desk at the same height as the people he is talking to.
Tiger woods is Golf, Period.
He made golf more interesting for the world
Witlocked rolled to every whole with tiger not walked
Of course he can be more popular now. See Twitter on Sunday? did you see the 18th at East Lake? In his previous 4 Masters did they chant his name when he walked off the course....
It's all about his health. If he can stay as healthy as he seems to be right now, who knows how much he'll be able to accomplish. Personally, I still think it will be hard to pass Jack, but the US Open is at Pebble Beach and he's won there before and the PGA is at Bethpage where he's won also. He'll need to drive the ball a little straighter, but his iron play has been stellar and his putting seems to be coming around. Can't wait for the next 3 majors to see what he can do. LOL
I don't understand the focus on Tiger's driving distance. He is still plenty long, but it's like people forget that he is one of the best ever after the drive too.
