Tiger Woods will forever be respected by the golfing world for his astonishing career feats, and so any advice the legendary figure has must be listened to.

Woods, a 15-time major champion, remains absent from the PGA Tour, with a date for his return from injury unknown.

Jack Nicklaus thinks Woods should use a golf cart, but the latter has thus far refused that aid on the golf course.

The 83-time PGA Tour winner did manage to take on TGL this season, but his last appearance of note arrived at The Open Championship last summer.

Still, the American remains an influential figure on and off the course, with Keegan Bradley in discussion with Woods about the upcoming Ryder Cup.

Tiger Woods has uphill lie tip that can really help amateur golfers

Bradley can undoubtedly learn a lot from the legend, and the same can be said of amateur golfers thanks to a demonstration from Woods on hitting off an uphill lie.

He offered a demonstration with a running commentary for Golf Digest back in 2022, with Woods saying: “Well here we are with uneven lies.

“This ball is going to be going extremely high in the air. The main thing I’m concerned about with this shot already is, am I able to clear this lip?

“What I feel comfortable with by clearing this lip right in front of me is with an eight iron. If I try to hit like a seven iron or six, I bring the hill into play. So first of all, trying to get my balance. Extremely uneven lie.

“I want to play this ball off my left foot. Weight is going to be more on my back right leg to try and get my shoulder turned, more tilt towards the slope and face along the slope.

“So the whole idea of this shot is to try and swing along the slope line. The easiest way to do that is to adjust my shoulders.

“So right here, I’m putting my weight in my right foot, adjusting my shoulders a little bit. And so I can swing up the slope as best I possibly can and stay balanced.

“I’m trying to hold this face off from this grass, taking it left and missing it high left. I’m really going to try and feel as if that right hand really gets underneath that golf ball. It’s got a lot of loft to it.

“I’m going to aim a little further right. Got my line there. Really make sure that I get my weight balance along the slope, and try and hold this face off so it doesn’t go left. Like that.”
