Tiger Woods and GolfTV strike content deal. What do GolfWRX Members want to see?
Hot on the heels of experiencing an open-microphoned Tiger Woods on the golf course during the match against Phil Mickelson last Friday, fans can now expect to get even closer to the golfing legend in 2019.
Tiger Woods and Discovery have agreed to a multi-year deal that will feature an up-close and personal look at the “life, mind and performance” of the 14-time major champion. The content that will begin from the new year will stream on Discovery’s new channel GolfTV, in a joint venture alongside the PGA Tour.
If you’ve ever wanted some golf lessons from Tiger, and let’s face it, who hasn’t? Then that will be one aspect to look forward to in the new year, as the 80-time winner on the PGA Tour has stated his excitement at the prospect of both giving back to golf fans, and creating a brand new audience for the game through the new service.
“I want to talk to golf fans and golfers everywhere, directly, and straight from me. That’s important to me. Talking about what we care about: what’s happening on the course, how to play better, how can I shoot lower scores tomorrow, how can I beat my friends?
Getting the chance to do instruction is exciting. I’ve always been focused on my own game, and this experience can help players everywhere. Whether you’re a long-time player or a beginner, there are some things that help us all play better. If I can help the next generation enjoy the game more and play better, that’s pretty special.”
Golf fans in the U.S. will have to wait for the new addition from Discovery, which plans to begin by replacing the PGA Tour Live streaming service in international markets. Domestic streaming will continue on PGA Tour Live for the time being.
Speaking about the deal struck with Woods, Discovery CEO David Zaslav stressed how the new streaming service is “not going to be the traditional stuff” often provided by golf telecasts, as well as speaking about Woods’ enthusiasm for the venture who he says is “all in” after discussing the potential of the partnership.
So, just what can golf fans expect from the new service? Well, golf instructional videos are only one of the perks to look forward to, along with showcasing preparation routines used by Woods, and a behind the scenes look during his PGA Tour rounds.
Our members at GolfWRX have been discussing the deal here, and the news of the latest service has got some of them excited. Member alliikane, for example, believes that the competition from GolfTV will lead to companies delivering a better viewing experience all around.
“This is good. Competition for the Golf Channel. I like the Golf Channel, but some of their programming is getting a little tired. It will be great to have two choices for watching golf and some fresh new programming.”
However, not all of our members are sold on the new product from Discovery just yet, with Mattyo1984 stating that while he’s intrigued by the prospect of the deal, the awkwardness of last weeks open-microphoned match involving Woods is a major concern.
“Interesting to see how it works out, the promise of extra access to TW is in itself intriguing, although I would be sceptical as to how much genuinely interesting content it will result in. If it was anything like the banter during ‘The Match’ then oh dear.”
Along with instructional videos from Woods, which will no doubt prove popular, what other aspects would GolfWRXers like to see from the new up-close and personal service?

C’mon, enough of this Tiger worship. He had his day, with Golf and probably still the Trailer trash he drools over. The Golf Channel has become a joke with everything and anything about Woods. He is the past, a great player, but that was then. So he won again, so did 20 or so others. This is getting, or has gotten stupid, enough already.

Yes… I so look forward to golf lessons and instruction from the Tiger…. and of course his insights into how to attack a golf course playing from the rough as well as the fairways. As for putting…..

As for putting, I think that is his forte, his g u a n o of golf knowledge condensed. Of course a discourse of chitchat and assorted trash talk would be good too. Whatever….

I’m not a Tiger fan but this is something I could get into so long as it’s somewhat “real”. I wouldn’t mind seeing the day to day, the preparation, the different events he attends, his house, his friends, what he does in his off time etc. but if it comes across as some douchey YT crap with over the top fake enthusiasm and full of tired old cliches, buzzwords, political correctness and virtue signalling it would be an instant turn off. Tiger is as vanilla as you can get most of the time but it would be great to see some of the veneer come off and see what really goes on behind the scenes.

Oh please. This — very much like “The Match” — is yet another blatant cash-grab and another desperate attempt to hang on to fleeing relevancy. Tiger turns 43 in December. Just WHAT about this going-over-the-hill golfer don’t you know that you’re desperate to learn? Insights into Tiger’s uh, sorry… “personal” life, daily routine, workout, friends and challenges MIGHT have been somewhat interesting oh… perhaps FIFTEEN YEARS AGO but now? Seriously? And as for Instruction, just what can thus guy share that we haven’t observed over and over and over since he turned pro in 1996? Zero? I thought so.

How bout finally just showing all golf – good bad great ugly…sick of hearing about (I’m an uncaring bastard) sick caddies, pets, GF’s, Bro-cations or what a cat still anaylizing swings on last century BS HAS TO SAY.
SHOW name brand cats – who made the last 3 cuts shoot 76-77 and go home. NOT TO EMBARASS THEM, BUT TO SHOW PEOPLE STRUGLING TO IMPROVE REAL LIFE GOLF. They loved showing Daly mess up – to rub it in, they ONLY show leaders melt down – ’cause they have to. Show 15x more actual golf and less talk.
That, I’d watch

Oh jc, now that’s quality comedy right there, good stuff!! That made me laugh. Actually, that would be very interesting to hear how he picks his women of interest. Elin is still the Queen of ’em all. His latest hot mama, IMO, leaves a lot to be desired. She must do things……
“So Eldrick, have you ever dated a woman of color, like a black, as our esteemed President refers to us? What is it about white women that you prefer over Mexican women? Have you ever dated a Muslim, a Canadian perhaps? And about your “black” Mercedes, what in fact did you hit that night that caused such extensive driver’s side damage from bumper to bumper? And about that dipping of your skull through impact, where did that come from? It is not as pronounced in previous versions of your swing, say between 1999 and 2001? Get back to us when you have a moment.
Thanks Eldrick

There will be initial excitement and a boat load of detail and activities and information from his and his whole gang.
But then all of it will become distracting to him, as paying attention to disseminating information to others rather than focusing on the task at hand for himself, that is, winning more tournaments next year, will all of a sudden cut off the details and minutiae of content, and the fans will give the new channel, the show and its producers, as well Eldrick himself a lot of flack and negativity, for wasting everybody’s time.
People will only get a slight glimpse in the end, because he will see a massive drop in his game while he does these shows, and he will quit doing the shows, to end up just focusing on winning again.
So why bother?
