incredible

year of control it was an

incredible

start to the year, you know, going toe to toe with Ernie right there in Capiloua, that just started Tiger's battle with Ernie Ellis. and Maui arrived while he was in the middle of a historic streak, all the attention on Tiger Woods looking to extend his consecutive starts with a victory to five tied in three rounds, the two would turn that Sunday into a match for the ages to have a duel so with a player of that caliber and no one we didn't make a mistake, you were there, you know, at each other's throats all day, ernie took the lead twice, tigre took the lead twice, everyone is waiting to even play.

That was really fun, let's do it again, that to me was really exciting because of the fact that you know we didn't back down and if you're going to win you're going to have to do something really spectacular. I played a little better than him at times on the TT Green, but Target made those big putts and his short putt was actually a little bit better than mine. New

season

, same result. Another victory for Tiger Woods, five in a row. His fifth consecutive title. To start the millennium, he added validation to a 1999 season that had seen him win eight times (win here at the Memorial) and responded to the criticism he would face for the swing changes he had been working on both years. previous.

A tagger was going through that first one. swing change was probably in '98 or early '99. He was talking to Earl and he said, you know it's not as good as it's going to be. I kept telling all of you that my game was better last year than it was in '97. So how come you're not winning well? It's better and this year I'm starting to reap the dividends of a better game. That's just stupid. An equal ending. I'll tell you, I've seen it all today. Incredible again, Tiger Woods prevails. His four-win streak to close the season included two world golf championships and the Tour Championship.

The best season of the quarter century for someone with the ability to be number one in the world ranking and still have the drive to improve. It's scary and it doesn't scare him, it should scare the rest of us, although how much better can you get? We'll see, we'll see a lot of hard work. You never know, the

tries to win six games in a row. Ben Hogan. The last to do so, Wood's next start at Pebble Beach would force him to push hard down the stretch. He comes into the event after five wins in a row and it would be very easy to take his foot off the pedal, but he was just way behind in the pace and suddenly he finds that gear that Tiger Woods geared up and he just went crazy seven back with seven to play Tiger would make birdie twelve while you're behind will miss reaching 15 four back and only two shots behind Matt Gogle, that's back on it, he started that streak with that incredible shot on 15 that he made for an eagle and then a birdie on 16, you know , an easy par on 17 and then another birdie on 18.

The streak continues with two starts. two wins and Tigers 2000 was gaining strength for the next title. He will do it again at the time he was going to do it again. How soon he was going to do it. Bay Hill in central Florida and what a place to be this week to play golf. annual meeting to honor the king with victories already at the atm t byron nelson and jack nicklaus memorial

tour

nament presented by nationalwide a victory at arnie's place would complete the grand slam of legends tiger was going for his 11th victory in his last 16 starts, is it too much optimistic? say that he can continue in this incredible area he is in after taking the lead with the 64 on Friday, which never faltered and took the first of many victories at bay hill, another successful close for Tiger Woods 13 in a row when he shared or had the leadership.

After three rounds, it feels pretty good to go out and get a win on this golf course because this golf course is not that easy, but to go out and play a golf course as demanding as I did, it feels pretty good, its alot. It's a lot of fun to go out and compete and know that you have a chance to win a tournament which is where you always want to be and that's one of the reasons I changed my golf swing in '97 to now Oh my gosh, whose golf swing would that be? swing that you wish you had? 2 000 Tiger Woods Tiger Woods 2000 uh, in my opinion, the best swing of all time.

If I could ever have a swing, that would be my swing. The way he drove the golf ball and it was unbelievable. That's the pinnacle of hitting it long and straight, so, um. If the guys could replicate that, you know golf would be so much easier, the swing that today's elite still desire was achieved through Tiger's work and dedication after his historic masters title in 1997. I felt like I couldn't be in the competition every time he did it. With the swing I used to have, I felt like I wasn't hitting it in the right direction long-term last year, right before the Nelson, I had a few shots in the range right where I wanted it finally after about a year and a half of work. and everything went well.

I think the main thing about those changes I've made is that I've become a more consistent player, my bad shots aren't as bad and you know, my good shots will always be pretty good, but that's the bad thing. which are the key to shooting good solid numbers. No one who hits the ball for a long time would stand there with a driver and say, I'm going to hit the ball 305 yards and shape it any way he wants and put it on the side of the fairway. he's the only guy who can do that after his win at bay hill tiger.

The next victory came in the hometown of another legend in the memorial tournament planned across the country on a Friday and Saturday of 63 and 65, taking him to a class-leading seven strokes off his seat belts and look. our tiger is making a charge Tiger became the first player to successfully defend the title he at Jack's Place back-to-back memorial titles for Tiger Woods. It's pretty good to finally defend a tournament. I've done it in amateur golf. I just haven't done it. in professional golf until this week with victory number four in the books tiger eyes were now determined to return to Pebble Beach this week I played very well I felt that if I continue to play that way for the next few weeks who knows I think The way That I brought it up at the US Open is something I remember and probably one of the highlights of having worked in a week, what he did at Pebble, some say and I would probably agree with his greatest performance in a major championship, Tiger Woods first.

The big win of 2000 was achieved in dominant fashion, tying or setting nine US Open records. He conquered the rest of the field with a 15-stroke victory, probably the first time in the history of the game where someone has been better than everyone in everything Tiger wins. 15 shots at Pebble Beach was an inhuman achievement. I don't know if we'll ever see a performance as dominant as that again. Wow, that was the most impressive golf I have ever seen in my life. There is no doubt that you know it will come out. in history, perhaps one of the greatest championships ever played in the game of golf, just over a month after sweeping 15 strokes at Pebble Beach, at just 24 years old, Tiger completed the Grand Slam of his career in a powerful performance at St Andrews.

I was lucky enough to play him at the British Open for the first two rounds and I can honestly tell you right now that he didn't break a sweat, he made it look effortless, finishing eight shots ahead of the runners-up, Thomas Bjorn and Ernie Ells. winning those tournaments and winning them by the margins, what he did was an incredible result, he is beating everyone else and he is not doing it by luck, he is just playing good golf to win an open championship at St Andrews, homo golf that is not So. It doesn't get any better than that, unlike his first two major victories at the Tiger PGA Championship in 2000, the victory was a very close battle.

He had the advantage until Sunday. I didn't play on the front row as well as I would like with Woods and Bob May. engage in an epic battle down the stretch, leaving Tiger with one putt he must make on the final hole to force a playoff. I never at any time thought I was going to fail. He hit a big pot. David against Goliath and David almost won again. the goliath at the end was too strong one thing you don't say about the time you don't say the word can't because it can be done what you expected he's been doing it for the last two years doing that you already know how to make putts like that, with his record-breaking performances, Tiger Woods He became the only man besides Ben Hogan to win three major championships in a single season and have the opportunity to do something only Ben Hogan did: he won three majors in one year and then did the tiebreaker against Bob.

It was stressful. , but it's difficult, it's dark. 30 at this point daylight was fading at Firestone Country Club, but not the momentum of Tiger leading after every round, including nine strokes in 54 holes he played into that Sunday night in hopes of hoisting his eighth qualification. of the season it's pretty dark, the camera irises are pretty open and full so it doesn't really do justice to how dark it was, we have a couple of flashlights, oh I heard one went by like an F-16, they don't have idea of ​​where. We basically took all the shots and we were basically running down the street trying to get in.

I knew it was going to be the right distance. I just expected it to be 10 to 15 feet and people were screaming. I have no idea it was that close because you couldn't see it, I think it may be one of the best shots. He never said, no doubt, he left them in the dark again, but that night was not the curtain for Tiger's success, as he was amazed. the golf world once again in a way that only he can to cap off his final victory of the year 2000. Not all the tournaments Tyler played are pretty good, the most memorable golf shot was definitely Tiger coming out of the bunker on the 18th. in Canada with just a one shot lead on the 72nd hole his competitor found the tiger fairway hole he was under pressure from the bunker I took a good look at him he has a perfect lie going well oh absolutely he has 213 yards this is fine in line what takes a shot It doesn't get any better than these guys.

I was laughing because I think they said he hit a six iron and hit it right on the pin. I was saying yes, he would hit a six iron two, but I've been lying to the left. Tiger scored his ninth win of the year and the second man to capture the triple crown. It's always special to win a national open of any magnitude, especially with the history behind the Canadian Open. The victory in Canada was the Tigers' final winning season on the PGA Tour to date, finishing the year at a combined 263 under par and setting the record for lowest scoring average in a season, surpassing his Nelson in 1945. when you basically vote, you raise the field by almost four shots a day, that's a different league, that's a league that has never been matched Tiger's nearly 50 percent top five of his PGA Tour events that's too much ridiculous in 2000 Tiger never finished outside the top 25 and at age 24 he completed his career Grand Slam and would become the only player to hold all four major titles at the same time in 2001, but if you look at that list and look at all the Players who have won, these are legends on that list and to be able to say that I am a part of that story is very rewarding, but I know how much I worked my butt off to become a better player.

There is only the present and he was so much in the present that he didn't realize there was no more present to be in and that shows that I think it's a gift. He had mentally to win the golf club just have the ability to be flexible and alter the game plans and find out what my strengths are for that particular place, that particular place, do it and move on to the next place and find out what they are. My strong points. My strengths will be for this week. I've had a fantastic career so far, but even more satisfying for me is being able to have more children who traditionally wouldn't have thought about playing golf.

I think golf is cool, that's the reason I'm playing golf is basically because Tiger Tiger made playing golf cool. I saw the way you know he was hitting the greens withthe fist. Seeing someone with a skin color like mine as a child was something very important to me and that's why I was drawn to the game, being able to experience it on TV was something special and definitely made me work very hard. He inspired me to play golf. I loved golf and had already played it a lot, but after watching it, I thought this is it.

What I want to do is when my competitive nature really kicks in. I hope that when my career is over I can look back and know that I made a positive difference in the game of golf and I hope that it is one of the major sports in America
