Golf Channel announces new series titled Tee it up with Tiger

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Tiger Woods is back. This time with rising superstar Anthony Kim and 24 lucky amateurs for a special, three-part GOLF CHANNEL series titled Tee it up with Tiger.

Beginning Nov. 26 at 10 p.m. ET for three consecutive nights, the exclusive GOLF CHANNEL series will feature Woods and Kim conducting a special clinic for 24 fortunate amateurs at Trump National Golf Club in Palos Verdes, Calif. Portions of the clinic will be highlighted in the first and third episodes of the series.

In the first show, Woods talks about his father teaching him to play and how those lessons and his family shape his game today. The finale focuses on specific golf skills and the varied approaches Woods and Kim have to golf. In each episode, Woods lends his expertise while Kim demonstrates shots, as the two talk about their golf games. Highlights include Kim's explaining why he grips down on his golf club, the importance of proper club fitting and the first time that Woods beat his dad in golf and how that event led to the famed Woods' fist pump.

The second show follows a reality theme that documents Woods watching the amateurs playing the 10th hole at Trump National. The episode tells stories of the contestants and features how they handle - or fail to handle - the pressure of performing under his watchful eye.

The 24 contestants were selected through a promotion by NIKE Golf.
