“Nerdy golf talk among pros” – Fans react to Tiger Woods and Jon Rahm’s on course conversation

  • by

Tiger Woods is an icon in the game of golf. He’s been on the PGA Tour for over 15 years and has become one of the most accomplished golfers of all time. He has more wins than almost anyone and is second only to Jack Nicklaus when it comes to major victories.

John Rahm is one of today’s best and brightest stars. He routinely finds himself at the top of the OWGR leaderboard and among the top competitors at any tournament that he competes in.

When those two get together, there’s an incredible amount of talent on display. At the DP World Tour, the two got together and talked shop on the green, discussing swing mechanics and many other things.

It is fascinating how the game of golf can feature such different techniques. It is a game with one objective, and to do that, there are certain things players should do, yet everyone’s swing and technique differ.

Despite being the elder statesman and far more accomplished than Rahm, Woods was curious about Rahm’s technique and how it worked for him.

He would ask Rahm about things that he did when swinging, and Rahm would break down his swing in detail. Woods followed up by asking about the spin the ball gets off of that, and he was pleasantly surprised by the answer.

The two went back and forth, showcasing their love for the game. Woods, despite arguably having one foot out the door in this game, was as eager as ever to learn about his counterparts and how Rahm does things.

@DPWorldTour @TigerWoods @JonRahmpga Fascinating. They’re both so in touch with their swing thoughts, and are such students of the golf swing, they can finish each other’s sentences. And Tiger giving some back and forth to a competitor is incredible

Many fans loved hearing these two go on and on about such a simple topic.
