Clown golf cart carries Tiger Woods, Fred Couples from approaching storms at Presidents Cup

This was the most challenging circumstance the American team has faced so far at the Presidents Cup.

The Presidents Cup is in a delay at Muirfield Village, with lightning and heavy rain hitting the Columbus area just before 3 p.m. ET. The PGA Tour evacuated both teams from the course, which means it won’t be a particularly brief interruption.

The teams loaded in golf carts, but they were apparently a couple short at the seventh hole, where Tiger Woods and Matt Kuchar were stopped in the middle of their match.

Tiger, Kuchar, and what looks to be some of the wives/girlfriends all piled into one golf cart, but Captain Freddie Couples was going to be left without a ride. After some haggling, and enlisting a police officer on scene, Freddie and Tiger sorted it out and fled the deluge that hit shortly thereafter:
