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.
Don’t worry, it was not a real fight. The duo paired up for a humorous advertisement, donning the roles of Kung-fu masters.

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.

Although the video ended in less than 2 minutes, the ad remains evergreen. And it looked like the sports legends had fun while creating the ad.
Behind the scenes of the ad with Tiger Woods and Shaq
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.”
