It's not a glitch, Tiger is just that good

A video response to a classic YouTube video that poked fun of a glitch in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 where Tiger makes a shot for Par while standing on water is making the rounds this week online. EA Sports has released a new promotional video that tries to disprove the animation was a glitch by showcasing the skills of the real man himself. The video above, which was created in good fun, shows the real life Tiger Woods walk on water to a lost ball only to sink the shot with a slick chipshot. The video, which is used to promote the upcoming Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 release, concludes with the line, "It's not a glitch. He's just that good." Great viral video that will unfortunately be taken out of context. Enjoy it now on YouTube or wait for the CNN Special Report.

That's hilarious!

That was hilarious, but it doesn't excuse the fact that EA sports games are buggy as s**t!

What's up with the commentators in this game? I'm still playing the '07 version, so maybe they've improved, but... I'm on the green, 3 ft to the hole, the commentator says, "This one will break severely to the right." Meanwhile, the ideal putt indicator shows it straight as an arrow...

Overall, TW PGA Tour is a fun game. I'm sure I'll get 08 and 09 as the price comes down.

I don't like golf... or games about golf, but this is funny and not something you would expect from a big company. Good times.

CNN? More like Fox news, headline: "Tiger Woods claims he is more powerful than Jesus, video proof".

You've gotta give props to EA for this one.

THA1icarus @ Aug 21st 2008 6:05PM

Black man walks on water!!!

OMFGBBQWTF!

We all saw how much they threw crap at Madonna for having a black Jesus in her music video 'Like a Prayer'.

I for one think it is an awesome video and hope to see more tounge in cheek stuff from them.

I guess having Peter Moore onboard paid off. That's one awesome tongue-in-cheek poke at the glitch.

Awesome!

Not going to lie here... this is genius viral marketing.

edward @ Aug 21st 2008 4:42PM

is it me or is EA getting....oh I don't know...less EA like....this is actually very funny and creative, I can say this past year they have impressed...Madden still sucks though (so does NBA live)...

Fox News: "EA propagating the myth that Jesus was black!"

Mrblonde @ Aug 21st 2008 10:31PM

Wouldn't be surprised in the least if Fox Noise actually tried to run that story.

People who buy sports games = fail
But this video is just too good.

This is great fun. It was humor like this that convinced me to buy battlefield bad company. They have something going for them here, i still won't buy the game because i don't like sports games (mainly becuase i suck at them admittedly) but i lol'd none the less.
