‘Creating Drama Already’: Golf Fans Fume Over Augusta National’s Bizarre Move Involving Tiger Woods and Bryson DeChambeau

Tiger Woods has been one of the biggest supporters of the PGA Tour. Although the 5-time Masters Champion has been very limited with his words when it comes to LIV Golf, he certainly doesn’t support any defectors in the league. Despite not being vocal, the huge transition has created a sort of invisible wall between the LIV players and PGA Tour players, including Woods. This could be tested as players from both tours will cross paths over the course of the week.

One recent update about the upcoming Masters Tournament made things a little dicey for the fans. But once corrected, golf enthusiasts had all kinds of reactions to it!

Fans react to the latest Tiger Woods Masters update

Woods, 47, is all set to tee it up at the mega event scheduled to be played this week. Not just him, but his fans are also equally excited to watch him back in action on the course. Moreover, his statements about focusing only on Major Championships have raised fans’ expectations higher.

Nonetheless, a recent update about the golf star and his group at the Masters came out as disturbing for millions of fans on the internet. According to an old tweet by golf writer Rex Hoggard, Tiger Woods was grouped with Fred Couples, Tom Kim, and, well, Bryson DeChambeau! Strange, right?

Not to forget that the golf hulk gathered countless haters after he made controversial statements about the PGA Tour after joining LIV. Moreover, he even mentioned that his relationship with Woods is not as good as it used to be anymore.

And that is why the news came out as no less than a shock for golf fans all around the world. However, according to a recent update by Golf Central, there was no truth in Hoggard’s tweet. In fact, Tiger Woods is grouped at the 10th hole along with Kim, Couples, and one of his best friends, Rory McIlroy.

As per Golf Central, “Bryson’s name, as initially listed among Tiger’s group, was changed to Rory McIlroy’s.” But ever since the new update came in, fans have been giving all kinds of reactions to it. Here’s what some of them had to say about it:

One fan assumed it was a situation where the comment poster was still stuck on April 1.

Well, no matter what the fans believe, Tiger Woods and Bryson DeChambeau do not seem to be on talking terms. If the news about them being grouped together was true, things could have been awkward on the course.

How did Bryson DeChambeau qualify for the Masters?

LIV Golf players heaved a sigh of relief after Augusta National allowed 18 qualifiers to appear at the tournament. And certainly, Bryson DeChambeau is one of these defectors along with Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and many more. While many other players received their Masters invite for being past champions, it was pretty different for the golf scientist.

Bryson DeChambeau earned his 2023 Masters invite due to his 2020 US Open victory exemption. That victory will permit him to compete at the Augusta National Golf Course until 2025.
