Tiger Woods is one of the greatest golfers of all time. And there are only a few other players who have been worthy enough for Woods to learn from them. However, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer are two such names. Woods has always had great respect for the two and has also been friends with them in the past.
Though from a fan’s perspective, having all three of them together in sight would be such a treat. But since it’s not physically possible, a collector recently got his hands on a golf card featuring the signatures of all three golfers. And fans have been going crazy ever since they came across the tweet!

When Woods earned respect from Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus
Woods had always looked up to Nicklaus and Palmer in golf. He even kept asking them questions about how they would play in different situations just to learn their skills. However, there was a time when Woods earned his respect in the eyes of his idols. Woods was in a practice session with the two legends when the golfer bombed his driver off the tee. Instead, he took iron for his second shot.

Looking at what Woods was doing, Palmer approached Nicklaus and said “He’s laying up”. While Nicklaus replied, “Oh, Arnie, he’s not.”. And the two soon saw Woods flushing his iron over the creek and reaching the green. That is when the two golf greats realized what a legend Woods was.
