A new video of Tiger Woods discussing intimidating opponents is going viral and it’s absolutely amazing.

Tiger Woods hasn’t won 14 major championships, good for second on the all-time list behind only Jack Nicklaus’ 18, without putting a little fear into the hearts of his competitors and we now have absolute proof that he didn’t care about doing that whatsoever.

A new video of Tiger on Twitter is going viral just days ahead of Woods’ return to The Open Championship after a three-year absence due to back injuries. The user did admit that he held onto this video, which was shot back in May at a fundraiser, aptly named Tiger Jam, at which Woods raises money for charity by hosting business types with a clinic and a concert in Las Vegas, to post before the third major championship of the year.

Tiger knew in his prime that he was the best player in the world and used that to his advantage on his way to blowout victories at PGA Tour events and major championships, including a record 15-shot win at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in 2000 and an eight-shot victory at The Open at St. Andrews the following month. Trust me, there are many more like this but that list is too long to go through here.

Woods can be seen on the video discussing the intimidation that his opponents felt back then and doesn’t hold back.

"“I can’t control you. The only thing I can control is me. Now if I do this more efficiently than you and you get intimidated, that’s your own f***ing issue.”"

Phenomenal. Take a look.

While Tiger Woods may not be the intimidating force he once was, he’s still someone to watch as The Open gets underway on Thursday. He tees it up at 10:21 a.m. Eastern alongside Hideki Matsuyama and Russell Knox.
