Brandel Chamblee says what amateur golfers can learn from Tiger Woods’ golf swing as brand new footage from TGL emerges

Tiger Woods, during his prime, had one of the most powerful and athletic golf swings the game has ever seen.

After Earl allowed Butch Harmon to take control of Woods’ swing, the young prodigy used his physical prowess to his advantage. Few could hit the ball further than Woods, and there were none more skilled with an iron in hand.

However, Woods‘ pursuit of more distance and improved speed saw him part ways with Harmon in 2002. Hank Haney then took the keys; many believe Woods’ injury issues stem from his time with Haney.

Even now, Woods is posting some impressive numbers in the TGL, and Golf Channel pundit Brandel Chamblee believes there is still lots to be learned from the former world number one’s technique.

Brandel Chamblee reacts to footage of Tiger Woods’ swing

Taking to X on Wednesday evening, Chamblee reacted to overhead footage of Woods competing in the tech-infused league.

“Tiger Woods from above,” Chamblee wrote.

“The greatest player of all time moves off the ball with his upper body (in direct defiance of anyone who says the head doesn’t or shouldn’t move in the backswing, as all good and great tour player’s heads move similarly) while his lower body ( blue line marks his sacrum) moves off the ball to start the swing and then quickly moves towards the target, substantially so.

“And then as his legs and upper body move towards the target in the downswing, his hip carriage moves away from the target…this move is not unique to Tiger, but he does it as well as anyone ever has. This is the optimal way for your body to move in the golf swing to maximize distance and accuracy.”

How has Tiger Woods played during the TGL

Woods has played two TGL matches so far and has had differing levels of success.

During Jupiter Links GC’s first match, Woods, Max Homa and Kevin Kisner were on the end of a 12-1 hammering to Los Angeles Golf Club.

The trio–Homa replaced by Tom Kim–headed into the match against Rory McIlroy’s Boston Common Golf as massive underdogs. However, Woods’ men ran out victorious after Kisner beat Adam Scott in a nearest to the pin shootout.

Jupiter Links GC will return to the SoFi Centre on February 19 and play the struggling New York Golf Club.

When Tiger Woods could make the PGA Tour return

Woods was meant to tee it up at this week’s Genesis Invitational but confirmed his withdrawal after the sad passing of his mother, Kultida.

The 15-time major winner has consistently suggested he will only return to the course once his game is good enough to compete; clearly, he did not believe he was mentally or physically ready.

Woods is still expected to be a Torrey Pines, however. The former world number one is the tournament host and is usually present at end-of-event formalities.
