Most golfers start their journey on the range, learning to crush drives before worrying about the finesse shots. But Tiger Woods did things differently. When Tiger was a kid, his dad Earl taught him golf backwards—from the hole outward. He first mastered putting, then chipping, and only after that worked his way back to full swings and drives. The idea was simple: the closer you get to the hole, the more precise the game becomes. So why not build skill from the green back? It’s a lesson that shaped one of the greatest golfers of all time. Tiger’s short game and mental toughness have won him tournaments when others fell apart under pressure. Ever tried practicing golf backwards like Tiger? Start on the green next time—and you might just lower your scores.
