Tiger Woods’ Father Said Woods Will Hit Shots People Talk About for 30 Years. Earl Was Right

Tiger Woods’ iconic shots span over two decades, including record-setting wins and dramatic comebacks, fulfilling his father Earl Woods's prediction.

  • On Tuesday, Tiger Woods turns 50, and Earl Woods predicted `he'll hit shots that people will be talking about for 30 years`, marking a career retrospective.
  • After retooling his swing with Butch Harmon, Tiger Woods showed precision by hitting the 100-yard sign's right '0' four times at St. Andrews in 2005, then produced a one-hop shot off the pin.
  • At the Phoenix Open, Tiger Woods aced the par-3 16th with a 9-iron that triggered beer-spray celebrations, while at Glen Abbey he hit a 6-iron bunker shot to secure victory, and facing Phil Mickelson at Bethpage Black, he laced a 2-iron onto the 13th green.
  • At Valhalla, Tiger Woods made a 6-footer under intense pressure to reach a playoff he won, and his 2000 U.S. Open victory by 15 shots remains a major record.
  • At Bay Hill, Tiger Woods hit a clutch 5-iron for a winning birdie amid a drought, while his pitching-wedge eagle at the 2000 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am sparked a dramatic comeback.
