Tiger Woods in Full Swing: Gearing up for ‘One Event Per Month’ in 2024
The Tiger Woods swing videos are back on our timeline, and I must say they are looking good. Check out the first clipped irons of the range session before teeing off at the PNC Championship with Charlie.

Pretty sure he took a divot there, too.
Shortly after, we were treated to the full driver swing from the Big Cat. As per Claire Rogers, hello and Happy Friday.

Reports of 270-280 in the air have been documented, and I can believe it. It’s the fourth time we’ve seen Charlie and Tiger together for the PNC Championship, with Charlie growing and improving each year. Obviously; we saw Tiger teeing it up in the limited field Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, but this week he seems to have shown progress form the off, with the walk looking confident and the swing dialled in.
He is clearly gearing up for a few more events in this next ‘Tiger Swing’ however long that may last. If he is to stick to one event a month for the coming year, the most likely event is the Farmers Insurance Open at the end of January, which is held at Torrey Pines, site of so many Tiger victories – and has his name in the winner’s books seven times.
This coming year is the first since 1996 where Tiger has not automatically qualified for all four majors. His fifth green jacket in 2019 secured a five-year exemption for all majors, but having already accumulated lifetime exemptions in the Masters and PGA due to five and four wins respectively, and his three Claret Jugs mean he can compete in the Open until he is 60.
He is obviously gearing up for regular events for the entirety of the 2024 season, including the Masters in April. With strong performances in the elevated events, Tiger can make up serious ground in the OWGR, perhaps even qualifying for Pinehurst on merit rather than an exemption by the governing bodies.
Judging by those swings above, we’d have him in the field.
