Tiger Woods has just received the honor of being inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. The legendary golfer has always shown the golf world that he can do the impossible with his golf clubs. But did you know the legend has mastered another sport too? Back in the day, the GOAT once beat NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal in a Kung-fu match.

The advertisement ‘Duel of the Masters’ begins with Woods’ character, ‘Crimson Cat,’ challenging Shaq’s ‘Swinging Giant.’ The characters then proceed to display their Kung-fu skills, only to play the PGA TOUR 13 game. In the end, Tiger’s character won the game as Shaq’s character disappeared.

As expected, the making of the advertisement was equally hilarious. Shaq‘s funny impersonation of Kung-fu not only made the whole set laugh, but left Tiger in splits as well. The GOAT couldn’t help but burst into laughter at some scenes where he had to push Shaq, and the NBA star would fall. 

Tiger explained the game to Jack, a field reporter of EA Sports, in one of the ‘behind the scenes’ videos. He also explained what the sport of golf meant to him in the interview. Tiger said, “To me, it’s the family environment, as a family going out there, and be with them.”

Jack and Tiger further went on to play the game. Tiger had to provide a tutorial for the young boy on how to do the swings and other functions. However, Jack won the match in the end, leaving the GOAT surprised.
