In the recent series of swinging events, TWLEIGON took to X to update the ever-moving world of professional golf about a statement Tiger Woods made after his Day 4 finish. As per the tweet, the golfer reflected on a successful week, particularly highlighting his exceptional performance in driving. 

“I think the best part of the week is the way I drove it. I drove it on pretty much a string all week,” the player remarked. Furthering on that, Woods also expressed satisfaction with maintaining precision and consistent ball speed throughout the week. He emphasized that there’s no need for adjustments in the coming weeks or leading into the next year. 

The golfer added, “Granted, these fairways are big. I felt like I had my ball speed up, which was nice, and I was hitting the middle of the face the entire week, which is nice. So it’s not like I have to go and try and find something the next few weeks or something going into next year.”

Seeing the golfer map out the highs and lows of his game clearly reflects how he plans on keeping his promise of a return to the greens in 2024. While Woods navigates the professional turf again, here’s a look at the highlight of his play at the Hero World Challenge.
