Was this an example of a well-meaning fan having a bout of premature excitement or someone intentionally trying to throw Tiger off his game? We’ll let you decide.
Tiger Woods missed a birdie after an idiot fan yelled during his back swing
This is so bad.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Tiger Woods was on track for his first birdie of the day on Sunday at the Farmers Insurance Open, following a beautiful approach shot on 13 that left him just 10 feet from the hole and a gallery just waiting for him to sink it. Then midway through his back swing you can hear, clear as day, someone yell “GET IN THE HOLE!”
Woods immediately realizes it ruined the shot and despite being upset he didn’t say anything back, though there are reports he asked for the fan to be removed — justifiably. It’s something the rest of the gallery echoed too, yelling “Kick him out!”
Proving that angry Tiger is the best Tiger, Woods went on to drive his next tee shot 323 yards and made a birdie on 14.
