The 15-time major winner, Tiger Woods, has made tons of records on the field. Woods is one of the richest and most successful golfers of all time. His fans love him for how he keeps his cool and is down to earth despite being a billionaire at present.

However, no matter how calm a person wants to be, there are always moments that test one’s patience. Similarly, there have been various events when hecklers from the crowd managed to yell the wrong thing at the wrong time, completely disrupting the game for no reason. The same thing happened with Tiger Woods back in 2018 at Torrey Pines.

A fan yells while Tiger Woods takes a shot.

Woods was already going through a lot back in 2018 during his return to the field of the PGA Tour. His game started with a wild tee shot but ended with a near hole-in-one and a solid round at Torrey Pines’ South Course. Although he made his first cut that day since the 2015 Wyndham Championship, there were still incidents that made his game harder than it had to be.

During the final round on Sunday at the Farmers Insurance Open, Woods was focused on making the shot. Right before he hit the ball forward with his putter, an over-excited fan from the crowd yelled“GET IN THE HOLE!”, resulting in the rest of the audience yelling in sync, “C’MON, MAN!”

It was obvious that Woods got startled and pulled his putt wide. He then slapped his leg, followed by an angry and disappointed stare into the crowd. A fellow fan snarled, “Hey dude, you just made a whole lot of enemies here in Southern California.” Thankfully, Woods birdied his next hole, and no one screamed this time. Fans said that the person who yelled at Woods mid-game should be banned from PGA events for life. However, there were no official reports about any such actions against the man.

Woods once got annoyed at a cameraman.

It was at the start of the PGA Championship when a cameraman got too close to Tiger Woods and made him uncomfortable. Being the gentle and humble person he is, Woods requested the cameraman to step away and said“Would you mind giving me some breathing space?” Please? “

The cameraman did not listen and kept following Woods, staying awkwardly close to him. It was when Woods repeated himself and again said, “Would you mind giving me some breathing space, please?” But the cameraman did nothing after Woods’ second polite request either. Things continued to get more awkward when Woods asked him to step away for the third time, saying, “Could you back off a little bit and give me some breathing space?” Back off a little bit and give me some breathing space! “

That is when the cameraman gave the golf legend the space he was politely asking for. Woods hasn’t played many events since his unfortunate car crash in February 2021. However, he has no plans to retire anytime soon from the field of golf.
