Hideki Matsuyama just won the Hero World Challenge, but his victory speech went viral for all the wrong reasons.
In this video, we react to the hilarious and “terrible” AI-translated press conference following Hideki’s massive win at the Hero World Challenge. Instead of a human translator, an AI system attempted to translate Matsuyama’s Japanese into English, resulting in bizarre, nonsensical, and downright funny answers that left the reporters (and Tiger Woods?) confused.

World Challenge Championships with 64. But Alex who was playing with me and we were able to play really good golf together from the middle of the round. So I think that was the best part. It was special. In order to win, I needed a birdie and I hit a good T-shot. But I couldn’t miss to the left. And when I thought about it, it was a difficult second shot. But Alex hit a good shot. So I was able to hit it with the same image in mind, which was a big help. My imagination was Good. And I wasn’t doing so well after winning in Hawaii, but I was able to win this last match of the season. That’s right. It’s really hard to do as you want during the season. Done. I didn’t have time to go, but this week when I went in, I wasn’t in good shape, but I had some time to talk to my coach, Japan, and here, and I had time to think about it, and I felt like I was getting better as I played the game. Coach Japan every on question and you I want to ask you every talk on the 10th but the second that was Saba can you just tell us what you hit and what you think about that 18 it was that 166 yard shot but if I had been able to make even one of those buddy pad shots on the last 14th 15th 16th 18, 17th, and 18th. It would have been a lot easier, but I couldn’t. So, I thought that the only way I could win was to put the last second shot on the pin. So, I’m glad I was able to hit a really good shot. What was the shot in the playoff? The ninth 166. And what was thinking before that hand may called making the because it didn’t go in and because I was no table to make thee is that w to say he was no table to make 1 bill415,161,718 you no table to make the clies and the other thing I wanted to ask what it about name that you love to win something Can you out all us? You have 13 no wandle. So can you tell us what door mean to you this is my third time at the club. But what do you think of Tiger? Yeah. Well, Tiger is someone I look up to. Yeah. Well, I was so happy to take a picture with him for the first time 9 years ago. So, I think playing in this tournament will increase that chance. Last year at Riviera, we weren’t able to win together. So, I’m really happy that we were able to win together this time. up. And one last question from me was the best of the for you was the playoff. T-shot and second shot were perfect. dot. I don’t know why, but I was able to play without a bogey. Dot. I was in a lot of tight spots, but I think I managed to get through them. Well, question last time last time and now come back or going next year? Well, it depends on my schedule, but I’m defending, so I definitely want to go. Well, first of all, to qualify to play here, I have to work hard to get to that point. So, I’ll do my best to make that happen. I hope. So, back to Yeah. Well, it was really, really disappointing that I couldn’t play this year, but I’m really looking forward to playing again next year. And Rivera is hosting the Tiger event, so I’d like to do my best to compete again next year in February. How are you going to celebrate today? Yeah, first of all, I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it to the flight and I wonder if I’ll be able to make it to immigration in time. If I make it in time, I think I’ll have a few drinks. Make Ray B awesome. Le Stone, hi. How would you compare yourself as a player when you won here in 2016? Comparing myself to now since I won. I think I played with more confidence 9 years ago. Dot. Hm. Yeah, today’s win was different. It was a playoff. And I think there are some things that only I can do now. And I think that’s good because I’ve gained a lot of experience over the past 9 years. Good. So, nine years ago, I was more younger, uh, pretty aggressive. Um, management. Step Is this online? He’s freezing. Can I use translate? Um, especially now. I have more confidence since like nine years now. more more mature. Gotcha. Okay. It’s okay. One more. We’ll do one more question here. What do you enjoy more than winning golf tournaments? Is there something else that you really enjoy as much as winning golf tournaments? No. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Perfect. Adi, congratulations. Thank you.
