See Tiger Woods actually make the Jesus Shot

After seeing one user's "Jesus Shot" video from Tiger Woods 08, (you'll find it just after the break), wherein a glitched Tiger walks over a pond to make a shot, EA answered back with its own video that Levinator25's supposed bug was, in fact, a mind-blowing feature. Bravo, EA. Bravo.

Ya gotta love Tiger's sense of humour.
Phil @ Aug 21st 2008 2:06PM
Maybe it's just me but...
This ad is genius marketing, in a comedic way.

technically it's not par because he grounds his club in the hazard before hitting the ball, hence a two stroke penalty for a double bogey, not par.

I was waiting for Tiger to finish off the opponent with a 'Shun Goku Satsu' after something like that. o_o;

"TIGER Uppercut!"

Tiger PUNCH~!
PojoMofo @ Aug 29th 2008 8:35PM
TIGER WATER WEDGE!!!
Jack of No Trades 85 @ Aug 21st 2008 8:37AM
I love Tiger.
Wiinterfang @ Aug 21st 2008 11:34AM
He is greeeeeeat!
JayVe @ Aug 21st 2008 8:39AM
While funny, it is obviously a glitch. How would people have taken to Take 2 if they responded to glithces in GTA IV this way?
FOXHOUND @ Aug 21st 2008 8:52AM
They would put a heart inside the Statue of Happiness. ;D

I would absolutely love to see a car get shot through a building by a rogue swingset.
With the words after the car shoots out the other side, "Physics... who needs 'em?"
Kamizar @ Aug 21st 2008 8:46AM
Quite possibly the greatest thing EA has ever done...
Duke @ Aug 21st 2008 9:49AM
Gotta agree. That was a pretty nice move on their part.
acefondu @ Aug 21st 2008 8:49AM
That was hilarious.
JJ Rooster @ Aug 21st 2008 8:51AM
I guess Jesus was black!
meist3r @ Aug 21st 2008 8:58AM
More shocking ... he was a member of the Country Club.
Obie @ Aug 21st 2008 9:37AM
Even better...he had a hot Swedish girlfriend!
Joh64 @ Aug 21st 2008 11:14AM
Well, since Morgan Freeman is God... Jesus would be black.
TMGE_rock @ Aug 21st 2008 8:54AM
"Bravo, EA. Bravo".... first time I heard that in a while XD
Jonafun @ Aug 21st 2008 9:18AM
Great, now in addition to not be able to watch Harry Potter movies, my crazy evangelical christian parents won't let me play those blasphemous golf video games.
meist3r @ Aug 21st 2008 8:58AM
I'm, I'm just .... baffled. A big company, NOT denying but making fun of an error they made. Wow, it's ... it's like ... it's like there are some actual ... like ... humans ...
sorry gotta cry now.
Nate @ Aug 21st 2008 9:10AM
Yeah, totally. That's really friggin' cool. Kinda gives you a little hope for the future of mankind.
Plus, you know, Tiger is hilarious and awesome.
Linoth @ Aug 21st 2008 3:14PM
Really not a fan of EA. At all. They eat developers, produce games on a yearly junk cycle that creates glitches like these, and burden their PC releases with destablizing DRM.
But I still have to say this was brilliant and awesome.
RobLink (Alex Kidd incarnate) @ Aug 21st 2008 4:22PM
Linoth, haven't you heard? That's ActiBlizzard now. EA are the new black. Or something.
riggs @ Aug 21st 2008 9:03AM
jesus wouldnt have shot the ball into the water in the first place :)
xAnarChisTx @ Aug 21st 2008 9:08AM
Touche
Mark F @ Aug 21st 2008 9:15AM
Jesus would have shot the ball in the water if it made him closer to the pin! And then he would have done just as Tiger did in the video haha
Gnoll @ Aug 21st 2008 9:23AM
Jesus cares so much about his fellow man that he doesn't wish to hurt their feelings during his golf games with them by always getting a hole in one (or just hitting it once and having it bounce in and out of every hole on the first hit).
Therefore, Jesus gets par every single time, even if it requires using his powers to get that par.
meist3r @ Aug 21st 2008 11:33AM
But if he needs to win, his greatest trick still is to get a hole-in-one without ever having even taken the balls out of the bag...
alejo0121 @ Aug 21st 2008 5:09PM
pffft, Chuck Norris would have done that with a roundhouse kick
Shmil @ Aug 21st 2008 9:05AM
SHAZAM!
LAZoftheTamarinds @ Aug 21st 2008 9:06AM
Well Tiger could probably be the "Jesus of Golfing".
F1 @ Aug 21st 2008 9:15AM
I suddenly want to play golf.
j.howlett @ Aug 21st 2008 9:15AM
that was funny and deserves more than a golf clap
Cybergig1 @ Aug 21st 2008 9:34AM
yeah no doubt as many stupid things as EA has done the last uhm however many years or so gotta admit that was handled and then some heh good job EA gotta give you that one
coop @ Aug 21st 2008 9:33AM
It's called an ad campaign guys. it's not a glitch at all. EA posts it's own "glitch" video on the web. let's people see it, and then posts the tiger ad making you feel like they listen to you and understand you. it's all a scam, and you've all been had.
wickedpheonix @ Aug 21st 2008 10:13AM
Yeah and the President is actually chosen by big multinational Companies with multi-billion dollar backing.
We'd like it to be true, but sometimes it isn't.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Aug 21st 2008 11:04AM
That's right man, you go fight the machines!!!
Tool.
Spooka @ Aug 21st 2008 12:24PM
How incredible then, that they sat on that glitch for two years and then, just as interest was waning in this (two year old) title, they executed their brilliant marketing master plan and released this video.
I'm fulling expecting someone to capitalize on the broken pixel-hunting gameplay from Dark Seed. Any day now...
brain @ Aug 21st 2008 9:32AM
lol that was great! Love that guy's sense of humour
jason @ Aug 21st 2008 9:33AM
that should be on tv. that was awesome.
ObiBen @ Aug 21st 2008 9:43AM
That's hillarious! nice job on EA's part for the marketing move and Tiger for his great sense of humor.
JoeTheBlow @ Aug 21st 2008 9:46AM
OK what the fuck is going on over at EA?
Its like humans actually work there now. I take it all the sons'a'bitches got poached by Activision?
codinthepocket @ Aug 21st 2008 10:00AM
I like how in the video of the original Jesus shot, the guy puts a copy of Tiger Woods 08 for the 360 in front of his screen, when it is blatantly obvious that there is a Wii directly behind, turned on, which begs the question... Can 360 games be played on the Wii? :0
Shmil @ Aug 21st 2008 10:25AM
Are you being sarcastic or are you that stupid?
Tom @ Aug 21st 2008 10:51AM
Are *you* being sarcastic or are you that stupid?
Sparerib @ Aug 21st 2008 12:46PM
Are you *being* sarcastic or are you that stupid?
mopo @ Aug 21st 2008 10:55PM
Are you being *sarcastic* or are you that stupid?
quickshade @ Aug 21st 2008 10:10AM
LOL, even if it was a setup,it was funny as hell.
