Video taking off 25x its usual first day

PGA Tour turns a tree ricochet into a Monday mood

A red shot tracer records every unfortunate bounce in a Short that passed a million views in fourteen hours.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 1,579,595 views a day, 25 times a normal first day on this channel (62,635).

Back to work 🥲Back to work 🥲

The ball hits a branch overhead, bounces backward and finishes behind the golfer. The red shot tracer follows along, helpfully documenting a journey nobody holding a club would want to make.

PGA Tour calls the Short "Back to work 🥲", with an on-screen caption imagining Monday as a golf shot. There is no elaborate setup: a professional swings from between large tree trunks, then watches the ball roll to a stop in the wrong direction.

The clip reached roughly 1.2 million views before its first full day, far beyond the channel's usual start for Shorts. Its comment section supplies the amateur-golfer perspective: viewers recall their own encounters with trees, point out that at least the ball won't need finding, and single out the tracer for making the reversal so easy to follow. One says every day on the course feels like Monday.

There is a happier golfing story elsewhere on the channel. Its video of teenage golfer Blades Brown's first PGA Tour win in a playoff also drew an unusually strong start. A separate upload shows Brown sharing the moment with his mother, Rhonda: a very different finish from watching a ball return to your feet.
