The latest video series, ‘A Round With Tiger’, was filmed in February, just before Tiger Woods suffered a terrible car accident. Tiger gives casual golf tips to celebrity guests in the series and the first episode featured Jada Pinkett Smith.
In the first episode, as Smith started her warm-up on the range, Woods gave her some tips on grip and swing. And at one point, he even got her to make a birdie and celebrated with a fist bump. The 22-minute episode, directed by Peter Berg, moved along in a relaxed manner as Smith and Woods can also be seen talking about life away from the spotlight and many other fascinating things.
