Tiger Woods, one of the greatest golfers of all time, has a secret weapon on his practice course: his dogs. The professional golfer has been known to have his furry companions fetch his golf balls for him during practice rounds. Apart from Tiger and Charlie Woods, two other family members, Lola Woods and Bugs Woods, are also no less than pros when it comes to running around the course.

Two four-legged friends roam the course and fetch balls for Tiger while he practices his putts and they have really late been recognized for their day-to-day efforts. They are his “Border Collies,” as he calls them.

Meet the canine caddies of  Tiger Woods

Woods, who has a passion for breeding and training Labrador Retrievers, has often been spotted on the course with his dogs by his side. Not only do they keep him company, but they also help him out by fetching his golf balls. According to an article by Insider, Woods revealed that his dogs have been trained to retrieve his golf balls and bring them back to him, making practice sessions more efficient and enjoyable. While Bugs was a pro at retrieving balls, Lola was still in her learning phase.

In the episode 4 of ‘At Home With Tiger Woods’, two of his fur buddies were introduced by him. According to an article by Golf Digest, Tiger said, “I have got my two Border Collies out here…She’s learning and he’s already pretty much dialed in.” Narrating the story of Bugs, Woods said, “He learned after Taz couldn’t run anymore.” Taz was his Border Collie before Lola came in. During the interview, he revealed that he had Bugs for over four years, and Lola was a new addition that arrived on Christmas Eve that year. His dogs have always been an integral part of his golfing routine and have always been a beloved part of his personal life.

Before Bugs and Lola, Yogi and Taz used to accompany the 15-time major champion. Bugs was adopted back in 2015, whereas Lola came to his edition in late 2019. The little Australian Shepherd must have become a pro like Bugs on the course by now. Apart from Tiger Woods, there are many professional golfers who are dog enthusiasts. Rickie Fowler keeps posting stories with his dogs on Instagram on a regular basis. So is the case with another PGA star, Justin Thomas.
