You could not pass up the opportunity to have Tiger Woods ahead and don’t ask him about the golf distance debate. An ever-current debate, although it has been reopened with more force in recent times due to the transformation of Bryson DeChambeau.
Everything will be different for Tiger Woods this year at the Masters except one thing
It was interesting to know the opinion of Woods, one of the longest-running players in the world during his years of great dominance. Tiger, of course, has no doubts about the benefits of hitting the ball long. “Distance has always been an advantage. What happens is that now we have many more tools at our disposal to maximize the capacity of the driver. There is no reason not to try to go a little bit longer if you can. The rods, the angles, the weights of the heads, the length of the clubs have been changed … The distance is a great advantage. It makes golf much easier, ”he says.

Having your starting point of view clear, what does not seem so easy is knowing if something needs to be done to stop this golf trend or simply let go. Tiger believes that we were late to that debate. They should have been worried about the distance a long time ago and did something earlier to fix it. Now Pandora’s box is open and it is very difficult to stop it. Almost all players hit more than 320 yards. How do you stop it now, what do you change in the fields, how do you make it difficult … It is not easy and we will continue talking about this 20 more years in the future, “he explained.

Precisely, regarding the distance and Bryson DeChambeau, Tiger joked. They asked him if he was capable of hitting 380 yards today and he replied: “Yes, of course, I have no problem as long as it is on a highway …”. In this sense, speaking of DeChambeau, Woods pointed out a curiosity about the ball. The two play the brand Bridgestone, although they are nothing alike, at least the prototypes they are working on. I’m working on a Bridgestone ball but it has nothing to do with DeChambeau’s. I’ve never tried it, but his is a lot tougher. I need mine to have more effect. It’s what I’m looking for. Bryson is the opposite. It gives the ball a lot of spin, so look for one that doesn’t produce as much spin. It is the polar opposite to mine.
