NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Golf Digest
and Discovery Golf today announced the release of the second
season of the exclusive masterclass series "MY GAME: TIGER WOODS." The 10-part season
launches globally on August 20 and
sees the greatest player of the modern era take viewers through his
Shotmaking Secrets for the first time.
In 2019's Season 1, MY GAME:
TIGER WOODS – INSIDE THE MIND OF A CHAMPION, viewers were given
a 50,000-foot view of Tiger's overall thoughts on his game,
delivered candidly by the golf icon himself. The incredible success
of Season 1 was followed by an insatiable fan outcry for more —
more time, more detail, more instruction on how the most successful
player in modern golf hits his legendary shots. Season 2 sees the
15-time major champion dive deep into the technique behind his
incredible shotmaking skills and sharing the secrets to what has
made him one of the best players of all time. Presented in clear
and memorable terms, viewers will learn invaluable lessons that
they can apply to their own game.
MY GAME: TIGER WOODS –
SHOTMAKING SECRETS was filmed on course at The Dye
Preserve in Jupiter, Fla. during
June 2020 with strict Covid-19
production-safety precautions in place. The series will be
available to U.S. audiences for free on Golf Digest Schools, the
leading digital instruction platform in the game from the world's
No. 1 golf media brand.
Golf Digest Schools will present MY
GAME: TIGER WOODS – SHOTMAKING SECRETS alongside
its subscription service that provides golfers unlimited access to
more than 350 video lessons and practice plans to improve their
game. The release coincides with the launch of the new Golf
Digest Schools app, which will offer an enhanced experience for
players to engage with the best instructional content and network
of instructors anywhere. Users can choose to watch via the app or
at www.golfdigest.com/tigerwoods.
Speaking on the new series, Tiger Woods
said: "Shooting My Game Season 2 with Discovery was
a great opportunity to dig deep and offer insight into how I
approach and execute the different parts of my game. I've never
revealed my thought process behind my shotmaking technique and
course management in such detail before, so I am excited to share
it with players and fans for the first time.
"It's been a tough time for everyone around the world these
past few months, and it's fantastic to see players of all
levels getting back out there on the course. I'm excited to
partner with Golf Digest and Discovery to bring
this series to millions around the world and help people enjoy the
game even more," Woods said.
Alex Kaplan, President and

unmissable episodes. MY GAME:
TIGER WOODS – SHOTMAKING SECRETS is a must-watch for every fan

way to improve and ultimately shoot lower scores than by taking
