Tiger Woods 2000: Why I Teach What I Teach

Sometimes I download swings onto my computer and forget about them, which is what happened with these swings of Tiger taken at Butch Harmon’s teaching center in Dubai in 2000.  What’s rare about them is the stable camera and the correct camera angles, which are hard to come by unless you are one of the few who have worked with Tiger over the years.  These are especially valuable as they come from Tiger at the top of his game and considering his amazing career that is saying something.  In this video, I look at the Tiger’s swing in detail and point out how most of Tiger’s mechanics are evidenced in the way I like to teach the swing, especially the right loading, outward hand path, and deep hips.  Tiger has proven that he can win with whatever swing thoughts he is using, but this particular swing won 4 consecutive majors.  Along with Hogan’s swing in the late 40’s I would consider this the pinnacle of swing technique.
