Amazing Footage of Tiger Woods 2000 Bangkok Complete Day 4 Warm-Up Routine uncut

[jdamico84]

His swing with Foley is still putting "stress" on his knee. He has to post up on something to turn and get to his left side. Even after having a great swing with Butch, he went away and is back to working on the same things that they worked on. I hope he finds a happy medium.

[dusjohnson]

after every shot tiger makes, i do the same sound as 04:39

[ughhhh0this0sucks]

4 people hate life

[AKFAN47]

imagine this video in 1080 HD. i think i would just give up everything i have to watch that for the rest of my life

[Thealbatrossking]

Anybody else notice the fact that he takes virtually no divot. Absolutely perfect ball striking.

[ivanriverogolf]

I've heard Tiger's nowadays swing has changed in comparison to this one here. Can anybody tell me what the **** was wrong with this swing... it's ridiculously good, almost perfect why would he want to change it I wonder.

[francis080072]

@ivanriverogolf he got bigger and stronger and his body changed and he was putting alot of stress on his knee, i think, and he felt he was losing power

[Thealbatrossking]

@ivanriverogolf This swing definitely was close to perfect. But a perfectionist like Tiger is always looking to get better, that was the main reason for his multiple swing changes over the last dozen years. Also, with his on going battle against his knee (although apparently that is fully healed for the moment) he has been forced to change his swing to take some stress off of the joints; he has also switched shoes to take some of the pressure off.

[rhalfy]

Nice umbrella

[bicklesby1]

good times to be a golf fan- before 9/11 and all the bullshit that has followed. lots of bullshit

[francis080072]

ahhh that is sex!

[mrlpb93]

Golf must be so easy with a swing like that...

[FreddieCouplesFan]

stevie wears pedo shorts

[jonjm44]

back in 2000 tiger kept his arms in front of his body so well.. that was really the key to his control back then.. In my opinion this is the best his swing has ever been and probably ever will be..

[EagleEyeGolfer]

The year 2000 was his best year ever; indicative of his swing then.

[johngolfi]

was he hitting draws around this time or cuts?

[Escapetehfate]

@johngolfi He's hit a little baby draw his whole career when he's swinging well (which is most of the time haha)

[Jakenolan49]

His swing is the same every time so much that i keep thinking your replaying the same shot, but from different camera angles.

[112frankybaby]

I hate when mfs at the driving range swinging like a moron. I rarely take my driver out.

[Waagyu]

it must get boring hitting the ball straight everyday

[PHIL210GROUP4]

I should be studying for finals right now...

[misterjaypeasmith]

those 3 woods at 6:20ish are awesome

[mjtheis87]

Tiger is one ugly mother F****r

[lowridersa]

That is quite bloody boring, but great footage.

[23peep]

who is guy with callaway bag at 1:02

[misterjaypeasmith]

@23peep it's Paul Lawrie. I carried his bag to the practice range at the Wales Open once.

[maxwells1987]

I just love that swing especially the smoothness of his transition! Shame he can't swing like that in full speed because of his knee. The new Foley swing is progressing nicely, though. It will be interesting to see what will happen once he's overcome his mental struggels and regained some confidence. At least he looks way better on the course nowadays. That SHIRT in the video is just outrageous - at least 3 sizes too large - one would've thought that Nike would send him a couple that fit...

[siboy109]

I think the sound he makes now is better than then..... But it seems more effortless back in 2000

[tr78478]

Tiger could go back to this swing in a matter of months. He won't, though, and he can't. He "can't" as he straightens his left knee and gets the weight to the outside of his left foot at the finish, putting an excessive amount of stress on that joint. He would have to widen his stance slightly and finish on a flexed left knee a la George Knudson.

More significantly, though, he "won't" as that would be a concession that he was wrong and Butch was right.

[russbr09]

@tr78478 He can't physically make that swing anymore

[zZrEtRiBuTiOnZz]

Are those high tops I see on Steve? Lol

[sethy2004]

Who would have thought his balls would have gotten him in so much trouble.

[onionfarmercarmen]

nowadays he is also obsessed with compression. the same stuff that hogan liked to talk about. flat plane weak left hand grip with strong bow at impact. hands way foward. i think he knows to much. when you see his clincs he is like a golf teacher he has impressive knowledge. partly this made him a great player i guess but sometimes it causes problems in your head to.

[kmason8138]

@onionfarmercarmen

Spot on analysis...I wish we could get him a new knee so this was still possible

[onionfarmercarmen]

this one with harmon must be the most beautiful swing the world has and probably will ever see. this probably harmed his body but i think it was the right swing for tiger at this time. the only thing i dont understand is why is he trying to flatten his plane more and more. i think he has this picture of ben hogan in his head and that he was the greatest ball strker but they both have different body types. I like a jason day type of plane. it would suit tiger to.

[bigpyoopypants]

I don't understand why you would change this swing. It's perfection. Tiger needs to go back in time and take lessons from himself, lol.

[Fraserr1992]

Amazing period of time, this is where tiger was born 

[KenPhantom5]

Anyone else notice the ball picker at 2:36?

He's zoomin!

[tpgolfer4life]

near perfect golf swing

[helenathena]

such a differnce when his swing was so steep and upright, he talks about keeping the club infornt of him, yet he though lay off the club at the top would do it, but no... that just gets the club more behind him, this swing is perfect example of keeping the club in front of him, very upright

[EasternWAParanormal]

you can just tell that there is so much less swing thought going on back then, I miss that from tiger

[thelumberjackjohn]

his left shoulder is so much higher here.. i think he was more confident back then but his swing is better now.. just my opinion. his putting for sure did a 180 thou

[komine866]

go back to this swing, PLEEEEASE!!

[tigerbait134]

i loved this swing. it was just pure and simple.

[pgaplayaplaya]

This is the best swing video of Tiger on YouTube! Can you take some of this footage and make another video with it slowed down? I saw you slowed down some footage for another swing comparison video. Would just need a few face on and down the line swings with what I assume are Tiger's 8iron, 4iron, 3wood and Driver filmed here. Would be much appreciated if you have the time. Thanks!

[TrueMEDIAco]

I don't understand why Tiger decided to bulk up!!! It seems Tiger puts a lot more force throughout his body with the extra muscle mass....I wonder if that extra mass is affecting his knee issues. Just looking at how fluid and easy he was swinging earlier in his career I always ask my self why he decided to bulk up....

[dcgreenspro]

can we atleast say that Hank Haney is somewhat responsible for the demise of this swing?

[CTrane88]

sweet golf porn

[eggyleftcheek]

this makes me want to go to the range and just rip it!

[vandalfan5816]

Thanks for posting, great raw footage. I was never a big fan of Tiger, but I do wish him the best and root for him now more than I ever did. It's sad to see someone who has lost his way like Tiger. Hopefully he gets it back, and understands it starts in the values taught to him a long time ago.

[xxxDave24xxx]

Yep. I watch this video every single day. Thank you for uploading this.

[Miketar2424]

riveting!

[bcmoykg]

when i watch this swing and the one he has now....its not even fair...i think if tiger really wanted to win majors agian, he should join up with harmon agian and they should bring this swing back....none of this foley stack and tilt shit

[ClippDaddyJr]

anyone notice how long the sleeve is on his right arm haha

[AKFAN47]

i watch this video every day

[onionsoup32]

tiger's swing looked gorgeous no matter how you look at it. but, it seems that tiger is the kind to always tinker with what he has, in order to see a new direction in his game. the only one to know the real reason why he swing didnt work eventually is tiger. i just hope that he will one day have no swing coach with him, and use all his previous knowledge to find the ultimate swing.

[manulboi]

Only in Asia would you have umbrellas out on a perfectly sunny day. haha

[fraydog]

Where do people get off saying this swing would cause the knee to go bad? Are they mad, or are they Slack and Tillers rewriting golf history? If you study this swing carefully, you would realize that this swing would put much less pressure on the left knee because the knee stays flexed much longer after impact. If you look at Stack and Tilt swings, even good ones like Mahan's, they put much more pressure on the knee because of the knee getting stiff much earlier, and the left hip getting outs

[tmgage1]

his swing is so on plain it's not even funny

[kingpork23]

MAN, his sleeves are LONGGG...VINTAGE TIGER...GREAT VIDEO!!!

[tadaa11]

I love his setup in this video. If he would just copy this old setup and swing he would kill everyone.

[ConnHustla]

tigers really good enough to compete with almost any swing he chooses but you need the complete game( emphasis on putting) to win. he didnt just change his swing to get better he changed to put less pressure on his knee.point is tiger is just over the hill imo and he might at best tie jack nicklaus with majors won when its all said and done

[mousavsm]

@ConnHustla That's kind of an oxymoron. You say he's over the hill but he may tie Jack (meaning he'd still win 4 majors). Regardless, if you watched the Masters front 9, and even the back 9 (he hit some incredible shots like that 6 iron from 220 to 4 feet for eagle, then he misses), you'd probably want to pick your words wisely. Tiger's biggest nemesis since the comeback has been his chipping and even more so (by a mile), his putting. If he putts average right now he'll win a lot easily...

[MrPar24]

Best his swing has ever been..

[komine866]

WHY would you fuck with this swing

[golfnutz99]

Man the good old days. Tiger really owned this swing look how fluid it is and you can tell he is not thinking about mechanics at all...he is totally on auto pilot

[shortgamebeast]

look at how slow tiger swings practising

[cfgolfcf]

at 8:32 tiger looks like a straight up hack

[cfgolfcf]

he won the johnny walker that year right?

[richardmule79]

best footage of tiger on youtube

[taumelgolfer]

such video of rory mcilroy would be awesome

[shortgamebeast]

tiger woods need to look at videos of his old swing and get his swing back on track

[brh5934]

I still don't understand why Tiger ever swayed from this swing. To me, this swing is technically perfect and the tempo and rhythm is impeccable. It is a much more fluid move and it seems his arms move more freely into his down and through swing. In relation to hitting more fairways, I agree that he was much more accurate with the steel shafted driver. He was strong enough to launch the ball 330 and hit fairways then, why not now? He's practically unbeatable from the short grass.

[muddywater661]

MrJb3golf, I also remember seeing that steel shaft gleaming in the sun on many days. In fact, I saw it personally at a local tour event that he played in during that time. I also personally feel that the switch to graphite and the length of the driver had an impact on his driving.

[MrJb3golf]

@muddywater661 Yep......I recall he switched to the longer/graphite shafts because he sought more distance. I remember he started falling further back in his distance per drive stats........I will say this: When Tiger learns to hit his driver IN THE FAIRWAY, he could dominate for the next decade IF he stays healthy. This swing is the one that will take him there. Heck, if he switched back to THIS driver NOW I bet he hits more fairways..........

[MrJb3golf]

Additionally, here's an interesting point:TW's accuracy with the driver really changed when he switched to a graphite shaft. People forget (or just never knew) that in his dominate years (99-02), he used a steel shafted driver.

[MrJb3golf]

Great Video. I come back to watch this on a regular basis. TW certainly doesn't look stuck here does he??? His swing is fluid, oily, and free flowing. He doesn't "squat" as much and lose his level like you see now. His new swing seems very complicated..Has anyone noticed he still gets stuck and has a awkward follow through? I was at match play and watched his match. His tee shot on the 19th hole (with a 3 wood) was a classic example of him getting "stuck"..he came out of his posture..

[plumbtwins]

Great video, thanks for posting

[crowtitleist]

Hi Terryrowles, i was wondering if you have the footage of Jesper Parnevik hitting range balls like the first swing of the video. thanx

[bepatienttiger]

respect how he isn't phased by the massive chug at 8:57

[phatbastrdhalo]

ridiculous footage....so glad u posted

[jkr8715]

i miss this man

[titleistman771]

When Tiger hits his driver here at first I thought it was his 3 wood, but then realized just how big clubheads have gotten since 2000. I think he still used the 975D here.

[steviegriff]

Best golf swing we'll ever see......unfortunately systematically destroyed by Hank Haney

[NortheastGolfer]

It's time for tiger to go back to this golf swing. YEAR 2000- 71.22 % frwys hit, 75% grns hit. And in YEAR 2009, 64% Frwys hit, and 68% grns hit. Tigers swing path is too in to out now. Way too many blocks right. In this video his swing is much more upright.

[pandatanto415]

@NortheastGolfer Tiger changed his swing to accomodate for his knee. His swing might have been better in 2000 but his left knee could not handle the force he created every swing

[muneyman68]

@NortheastGolfer couldn't agree more

[readygo242]

@NortheastGolfer This swing is awesome, and I don't see how this affected his knee? Just don't swing so hard Tiger. lol

[mikepownzall]

@NortheastGolfer Personally in my view it was the tempo.....muscle memory with a slow and controlled swing is much better than lashing out at it.

[ndonggolf]

@NortheastGolfer he cant go back to this swing because of his knee

[swansob]

@NortheastGolfer he originally changed his swing to supposably get better, but he had to change it again because his knee couldnt take it anymore

[TrueMEDIAco]

@NortheastGolfer It's not the golf swing that changed..its his body. tiger decided to bulk up since 2000 with a lot of muscle and he had to change his swing to compensate for the extra muscle mass on him...he swings the club more like a lumber jack swinging an axe these days rather than a samururai swinging his sword like in the past.

[BoHoVsGolf]

i love youtube

[Dionbreend]

Thanks for posting, this is gold. Pity for him he left Butch Harmon. Now he can't swing like that because of the muscle, so great to have this footage of his best swing action, IMO.

[brainysnaeha]

@Dionbreend

He's such an asshole to left butch harmon!

With this swing he would have no problem reclaiming his number one status!

[Dionbreend]

@brainysnaeha agreed

[Dionbreend]

Thanks for posting, this is gold. Pity for him he left Butch Harmon. Now he can't swing like that because of the muscle, so great to have this footage of his best swing action, IMO.

[cedwards59]

the guy at the start was Jesper Parnevik. He's the one that introduced Tiger to Elin.

[Gupps0123456]

Actually like his swing with Foley when it's on more than this one. Much more sound on the body rather than snapping the left knee into hyperextension with those super fast hips that were required with Harmon's version. People are saying he's hitting it just as good as back then on the range but further. Which is kinda scary

[VonZane1]

Awsome footage. I would say that it is the best Tiger Footage on Youtube. Who is the guy at the start and who is it at 1.00?

[terryrowles]

@VonZane1 start is parnevik, later it is paul lawrie doing the how much can i get it across the line drill...

[MedicAlv1]

@terryrowles Man whatever Happen to Jesper?......

[golfnutz99]

@terryrowles But if you watch Lawrie he goes across on the practice swing but when he actually hits the ball his club stays exactly on plane his swing is just long...it's interesting.

[donaldDIZZLE]

@VonZane1 Jesper Parnevik at the start and Paul Lawre (Open Champ.) at 1.00

[CiaranRooney125]

Big Big Thanks For The Upload Bud :)

[johnc12344321]

I see a little of tiger going back to his old swing when he was in his prime sometimes these days. he has had many knee surgeries too . so he could possibly changing his swing just for helping out his knee not to hurt soo much.

[johnc12344321]

really awesome thanks for video..

[ssssssspps]

JACKASS!!! 5:19

[tigremontes1]

wow

[nickpryor07]

Why would Tiger ever leave Butch for Haney or Foley? He has incredible tempo and flow with this swing. Wow he is an idiot

[PUArtista]

@nickpryor07 Funny how from what we hear about Foley, he's trying to get him back to this kind of upright plane again. I wonder why?

[nickpryor07]

@PUArtista Foley has him more bent over at address and the club is around his body. All Tiger does is look at Hogan and trys to copy him. He needs to go back to Butch with the club more in front of the body and start winning again

[puffa6]

How big is that shirt ????

[bigeddielad]

Notice you've some old parnevik at the start, would you have any more? So hard to find any full motion swings of him. Would really appreciate it! : )

[bossofalltime]

Tiger's take away and backswing here are magical. Back when he would sting that 2-iron out there 260-270, the man could throw some heat to it and get 340-350 with those small driver heads (in comparison to today's equipment) and not be two fairways over.

[sandersuperfollador]

@PUArtista I dont think hogan , nicklaus , palmer , nelson , were at the level tiger was in 2000 , NO WAY

[sandersuperfollador]

tiger was in his prime in this years , no one has dominated the game of golf at the level he is done , even byron nelson said '' i,ve see him playing , and i have to say that iif i was in my prime i couldnt beat tiger''

[sandersuperfollador]

tiger woods in 2000 dominated and changed the world of golf forever . PGA TOUR players are eating fruits and energy drinks because of tiger.

[donaldDIZZLE]

I'm surprised Stevie wasn't smashing your camera. Is that Lawrie also?

[terryrowles]

@donaldDIZZLE lol he has threatened to do it since then......

[PUArtista]

It can be argued that he was a better ball striker than even Hogan himself at this point in his career...I argue for Tiger haha

[terryrowles]

@PUArtista i didnt know hogan so cant argue, there is no doubt that in 2000 tiger was putting like a superhuman...

[PUArtista]

@terryrowles haha wrong comparison, he was putting better than Bobby Locke!

[twalter8895]

@PUArtista He wasn't a better ball striker than Hogan. Tiger is clearly an amazing golfer and one of the best to play, but not a better ball striker than Hogan. Tiger is less than average off the tee, and a great ball ball striker, but then again, so is everyone on the tour. What allows Tiger to win is his incredible, all-around short game.

[PUArtista]

@twalter8895 Now? Not so much...then, there could be a case--if Tiger was learning the same game as Hogan, you know bunt it out there 260 then fine. Tiger was as accurate as Hogan except...his 260 club was his 2 iron. I dont think anyone is terribly accurate when your goal is to hit it 360 with your drive. And agreed on the short game thing(please see any highlight of the 2000 usopen)

[muneyman68]

@PUArtista WOW!!! better than hogan? lmao

[mikepownzall]

@PUArtista Thats a little much ehhh? Hogan was the definition of BALLSTRIKING. In my opinion.

[sethisawesome]

@PUArtista You don't know jack about Hogan.

[brainysnaeha]

@terryrowles

I'll tell you what the venue of the johnnie walker classic 2000 is the course

in the pathumthani province 40km north of bangkok.

The course named:Alpine golf club designed by ronald m.garl

And i'm hold the membership there!

It's a great course i play every weekend.

You better play there its great,guest green fee cost a little over 3,000 baht

And thanks for the footage i've been search for years!

That time i was only 6 so i not playing golf back then,start to play at 14.

[terryrowles]

@brainysnaeha you are right... and it is a very nice course

[majorchampionships]

I just f'ing love this video man. He recently made a comment in the media...around the U.S. Open...and says he is older, can't make this particular swing anymore. I call B.S. His swing here looks smoother and more tempo'd then his current swing. He isn't ripping after the ball in any of these swings. I sure hope you have more of Tiger..if so get them posted ASAP!

[komine866]

look how skinny Stevie was back then

[jlong232]

Thanks for taking time to upload this video.

[sandersuperfollador]

@terryrowles yeah please put more footages of tiger in 2000

[sandersuperfollador]

excellent video man . keep em coming !!

[shukigkato]

AMAZING swing....

[A1Z88]

this swing Tiger had in 2000 was his best...he kept on plane longer.

[PUArtista]

@A1Z88 it is on plane longer now...he had a once in a lifetime season here...

[proslayar]

absolutely, superb. Thanks for posting!

[neville007mazda]

Great video. Thanks

[OwnYouScum]

This is fantastic!

There any more you can put up? Any footage of Tiger's swing in 2000 is pure gold.

[terryrowles]

@OwnYouScum i will see what i can find...
