As one could see in the video above, the announcer gives a long and hefty introduction about Tiger before his shot and says: “Ladies and gentlemen, your 12:55 tee time from Windermere, Florida. Winner of 34 PGA Tour events including the 2002 Masters tournament, The US Open, The Bay Hill Invitational, The Buick Open, The American Express World Golf Championship.” And would have continued with some more accolades for Woods but gets interrupted by Mickelson who says: “All right, all right, we know.” At which point Woods and all the audience present there burst out laughing. The video was also a big hit among fans who were reminded of the good old days.
