This is not the great championship of the long drive, where we see powerful batsmen putting all their strength into a poor little sluggish white ball. NO. Rather, it's a friendly competition between Tiger Woods and a podcast host. And the tiger pulled out a sharp hidden card for his rival.
The famous golfer with 15 major titles played the game with Riggs, the American host of Barstools Sports' popular golf podcast Fore Play.
In the video available on social networks, we first see Riggs getting off to a good start overall.
Then comes Tiger, 48 years old. At least around 48 years old as the video is not dated and Tiger is wearing his red Nike polo shirt. It is worth remembering that the divorce between Woods and the American company was announced earlier this week.
Back to that friendly competition on the fairway: Woods comes out and places his ball. He immediately kneels, looks at his target and charges in front of Riggs, who can't believe his eyes.
For pleasure
Apparently the tiger's projectile exceeded that of the host. When he gets up, the golfer with 82 PGA Tour titles is smiling ear to ear. He's just pulled a nasty prank on anyone who doesn't have their tongue in their pocket behind a microphone.
Woods squeezes his opponent's claw and repeats that he “just wanted to have a little fun.” The Barstool team was even able to capture the moment with the famous golfer and have a little chat afterwards.
The Tiger talked about his relationships with his cadets throughout his career, particularly the early days with Joey LaCava, who carried Fred Couples' bag at the 1995 Masters.
