Tiger Woods is passionate about golf. He is considered the calmest and most concentrated golfer on the course. However, there was a moment when even he lost his concentration and made a mistake. But you can’t blame him, given a woman approached and kissed him out of nowhere, catching him off-guard.

The incident happened while he was competing at the 1999 Open Championship. The Open Moments had shared the video with the public through their Instagram page.

In the video, the then 23-year-old Woods was seen trying to figure out his putt on the green when a woman wearing a bikini ran towards him. As a perplexed Woods was trying to process what was happening, the woman hugged him and gave him a peck on his cheek.

The young Woods grinned as soon as the woman went running back into the audience. According to the commentary on the video, he had missed the putt he was about to make as he lost his concentration.

Paul Lawrie had won the 1999 British Open, which was later renamed the Open Championship. He had won it in the four-hole playoff against Justin Leonard and Jean Van de Velde; they had scored an overall of 6-over 290 after the final round. Furthermore, Woods had finished at T7 that day.

Although Woods couldn’t win the Open Championship in 1999, he had won many other events, including the World Golf Championship and the PGA Championship the same year. Furthermore, he also created a PGA Tour record by winning $6,616,585. The amount was around $3 million more than David Duval, the second on the list.

Tiger Woods – His career so far

Woods began golfing at a very young age. He appeared on national television when he was just a two-year-old. Even as an amateur, Tiger had a bright career. He won three consecutive U. S. Junior Amateur Championships from 1991 to 93. 

Furthermore, Woods became the youngest to win the U. S. Amateur Championship at 18 in 1994. After turning pro in 1996, the golfer didn’t have to look behind as he won consecutive tournaments. Tiger has won 108 championship titles, including 15 majors, throughout his career. 

Woods built his 25-year-long career by keeping himself cool on the course. There aren’t many times when he has lost control of his composure, other than when his fans choose to surprise him, as they did in the 1999 British Open.
