Sahith Theegala, PGA Tour Pro had lots of intimate experiences to share. He turned pro recently, in 2020, and since then his love for the game and the impact it delivers has never lessened.

The 24th OWGR holder had all praises for the GOAT. He couldn’t believe that his breakfast at Riv would be delivered with a bear hug from Tiger Woods. The intensity of this gesture must have been so intimate that Sahith expected it to be from his fellow golfers at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship or maybe a family member. 

The surprise was even more memorable because the pro-golfer praised Sahith for his game. His performance as a golfer had compelled Tiger to come up and acclamation his skills. This must have been a breathtaking moment for the rising PGA Tour star.
