Tiger Woods expresses amazement while touring new "forefront" PGA Tour facility

Tiger Woods got to try out the PGA Tour's newest facility, a technological feat that was used to showcase some of Woods' greatest achievements. Screens surrounded Woods in the facility, all showing something to remind Woods how great he was.

He chuckled in amazement when the display was done before saying (3:18):

"We're trying to bring the fans there. Not everyone can be there at least in that moment in time. Now that we have the PGA Tour studios like this, the consumer can see that, they can feel it, breathe it. All the different camera angles, how the emotion is captured."

Woods also said that the facility was at the "forefront" of the growth of golf. He himself is also at the forefront of that with his and Rory McIlroy's TGL which is slated for launch this month.

One such moment that Woods was shown at the new studio was the 2018 Tour Championship. That event is now infamous for what the fans did. They broke through the barriers and followed Woods closely as he moved from hole to hole. Woods acknowledged that this was an evolution he hadn't experienced at the time.

The golfer didn't adopt a negative stance, though. Instead, he said that fans are "the most important" part of the game, and that he was grateful to be able to share such a moment with them.

He expressed some gratitude for fans who cheered him on as he "climbed the mountain all over again" after numerous surgeries and procedures. At the time, he wasn't sure if he'd be able to play again, so he's grateful for every step, even the ones in which the fans got a little closer than they usually do.

PGA Tour urged to make key move for Tiger Woods

As they showed in the above video, Tiger Woods is an important and influential figure for the PGA Tour. He has 82 wins all-time and 15 Major victories. In 2025, he will turn 50 and be eligible for the Champions Tour.

The PGA Tour has been urged by fans, according to Express, to modify the rules for Woods. They would like the Tour to allow the golfer to use golf carts so he can preserve his body and stay an active member.

After numerous back and ankle surgeries, one of each coming in the last 20 months, Tiger Woods has a harder time than he used to in walking 18 holes to compete in a golf tournament for four days.

If he has to use a cart, then he'd move to the Champions Tour with other aging veterans. If the Tour modifies the rules, he might have an easier time and would potentially play more often.
