Tiger Woods reveals his old workout routine and sparks social media debate
Some golf fans don't believe Tiger Woods after an old video resurfaced revealing his workout routine when he was a 24-year-old.
A video of Tiger Woods revealing his workout routine when he was a 24-year-old on the PGA Tour has sparked a debate between golf fans, with some simply not believing him and others applauding him for his work ethic.
When Woods burst on to the PGA Tour scene, he quickly became one of the longest hitters on tour, due to his athletic swing speed that other players simply didn't possess.
Woods has been critical of his navy-style workouts from the past, as he believes the amount of running he did in his early twenties is what caused multiple knee problems in his later years.

Woods explains how his daily routine consisted of waking up for a four-mile jog, before going to the gym to lift weights, followed by two to three hours of range practice, play some holes, return to work on his short game, run another four miles and then play basketball or tennis if the option was there.

I love it when someone who doesn't watch golf says that golfists are not real athletes. Silly, silly people

This is why golf is amazing. You have the tigers but then you have the Dalys ripping cigs, eating McDonald's, slamming diet cokes
