Lawrence Ostlere of the Independent wrote: “The swing looked near-perfect, with a smooth rhythm, a fast club-head speed and a strong follow-through.”
And the rest of the golfing world was equally impressed.

Tiger Woods’ kid golf swing is amazing and the golf world is having a giant orgasm over it. I just love how Tiger just never loses his appeal.

Woods seeking record 83rd PGA Tour victory
Tiger will have his first crack at securing a record-setting 83rd PGA Tour victory in two weeks in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in San Diego, the former world No.1 says.
Woods, who tied Sam Snead at the top of the all-time PGA Tour wins list when he triumphed at the Zozo Championship in Japan last October, has won eight times at Torrey Pines with his most recent triumph there coming at the 2008 US Open.
The tournament, which will be held from January 23-26, has been Woods' usual first start to the year. He joins a loaded field that includes Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Phil Mickelson, Jon Rahm and Zander Schauffele.
Woods announced his plans on his official Twitter account while also saying he will tee up at the February 13-16 Genesis Invitational, where the 15-times major champion is tournament host.
Since equalling Snead's record, Woods has competed in two unofficial events last month.
He finished fourth in the 18-man Hero World Challenge before posting a 3-0 record as a playing captain for the victorious US side at the Presidents Cup.
