Tiger Woods was the man when it came to golf. Every golf fan, no matter how young or old is aware of his journey. With 82 PGA Tour wins, out of which fifteen are major championships, he simply was the GOAT. Arguably, still is. His game might have deteriorated due to his physical health, but his fans still remember him for all the accolades he has achieved. By the time he was five years old, Woods was already playing golf at a competitive level.

He began participating in junior tournaments and quickly rose through the ranks. His first notable victory came at the age of eight when he won the 1994 Junior World Golf Championships. Well, recently one of his throwback videos has made it all over the internet. Jamie Kennedy took to his official X account and shared a video of Tiger Woods walking in the Meridian Golf Club as a part of the 1990 US Amateur. He wore a green, full-sleeved shirt, paired with a pair of black cargo pants, and had his white cap on.

His aura was simply unbeatable, even when he was just fourteen years old. Kennedy captioned the post, “Tiger and his caddie. 1990 US Amateur. How am I just seeing this footage now?!?” This was in sheer astonishment. While Tiger Woods’s presence was, of course, charming, it was not him that garnered all the attention. It was his caddie, who is approximately the size of a Mountain Man, that caught his attention.

The world is not sure as to who the bagman is but he left everyone, including Kennedy, wondering who he was and why Tiger Woods did not stick with him as a caddie.

Tiger Woods’s former caddie was. dubbed as Hank Williams Jr.

Hank Williams Jr., the legendary American singer, has a rugged and distinctive appearance that perfectly complements his country-rock persona. Known for his thick, full beard and signature sunglasses, he often sports shoulder-length, unkempt dark hair, which has grayed with age. His athletic build and confident posture give him a strong, commanding presence, whether performing or in casual settings. His style blends country and rock elements, often seen in denim jeans, boots, leather jackets, and occasionally a cowboy hat, reflecting his down-to-earth yet rebellious vibe.

What’s your perspective on:

Could Tiger Woods' mysterious 1990 caddie have been the real MVP behind his early wins?

Have an interesting take?

Well, Tiger Woods’s caddie from the video pretty much had everything except the boots and the leather jacket. Had he worn those, he would definitely look like the musician. Taking to this, one of them wrote, “Hank Williams jr on the bag”. While another wrote, “That caddie is legit. Someone needs to find this dude. 😂”

Tiger Woods has been a legend ever since he was in his teens. One significant moment from Tiger Woods’s career during the 90s was at the 1990 Junior World Golf Championships in San Diego. At just 14 years old, Woods dominated the boys’ 15-17 age group, finishing with an impressive margin of victory. This victory was a key milestone in his early career, showcasing his exceptional talent and potential. What made this achievement even more remarkable was that Woods became the youngest player to win the prestigious tournament at that time. Taking to this, one of them commented, “Tiger was so good he could just grab a bum off the street on the way to the course to carry his clubs for him.”

Another made a joke out of Tiger Woods’s insane transformation from being a skinny kid to a well-built man and sarcastically wrote, “Today’s Tiger probably has more muscle weight than the weight of this caddie and young Tiger combined.”  While another simply wrote, “Amazing. We weren’t ready,” looking at the video.
