First Question from US Golf TV Fans: "Sugar-Free Orange Flavor"

What Flavor Is the Gum That Woods Chews? View original image


[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] "Chewing gum during the game?"


For golf fans, the gum chewed by the 'Returned Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods (USA) is also a topic of interest. This was the first question answered during a fan Q&A session organized by GolfTV USA on the 19th (Korean time) via social media. Woods made headlines last year in April when he was seen chewing gum during his Masters victory. He explained, "It's probably orange-flavored Trident (a sugar-free gum brand)" and added, "I like sweet flavors, but I don't chew too much."


American media even published analytical articles on the 'medical or psychological effects expected from chewing gum during play.' They highlighted benefits such as relief from anxiety and stress, improved concentration, and even the removal of bacteria in the mouth, emphasizing the 'benefits of chewing gum.' Thanks to Woods, a manufacturing company called 'Golf Gum' in Colorado, USA, enjoyed a special boom.



The second question was about 'players who have the potential to become the best in the 2020s.' Woods initially laughed and said "me," then mentioned names like Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), Brooks Koepka, and Justin Thomas (both USA). The last question was whether he wears red clothes on Sundays even during periods without tournaments. This question stems from the fact that Woods wears a red top and black bottoms whenever he competes for the championship on the final day. He answered, "No."
