On the last playoff hole, the par-five, 18th hole, Tiger took a more of a conservative approach. He decided to hit a three wood off the tee. However, Eldrick Woods hit his tee shot really high as well as, way left.
As result, Tigers’ ball ended into the long mound of grass, which could have resulted in an unplayable lie and a stroke penalty. But, if you check the footage closely, a white hat fan chases the ball into the mound. And both balls as well as, the fan disappear.
One of the great Tiger Woods conspiracy theories is that the Tiger Slam never happens without a phantom bounce on 18 in the playoff vs. Bob May.

However, suddenly the fan reappears out from the mound and the ball bounces out and goes further 10-15 yards. It may be because the white hat fan crouched down and then threw the ball out. However, nothing of that sort has yet been proven. But if it had been proven, Tiger would not achieve the Tiger Slam. This might be one of the most incredible conspiracy theories ever.
