Tiger was playing the second hole at the Farmers Insurance Open. After hitting the ball to the middle of the fairway, the goat hit the ball 140 yards out to the green. As expected from the golf legend, the ball went straight into the hole, resulting in an eagle.

MAMARONECK, NEW YORK – SEPTEMBER 18: Tiger Woods of the United States tosses his gum in frustration prior to playing his second shot on the 18th hole during the second round of the 120th U.S. Open Championship on September 18, 2020, at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York.

However, the situation changed in just mere seconds. The ball that went into the hole came out, much to the surprise of the spectators and Tiger alike. Although it might not be that visible in the first video, the second video shows how the ball went in and popped out in slow motion.
Whatever happened to Tiger was a one-in-a-million experience. It is almost impossible to hit an eagle from 140 yards away. Since it was Tiger who hit it, it is believable. However, the ball going in and out of the hole, in the end, was not anyone would have imagined.
Fans’ reaction to the incident happened to Tiger Woods at the Farmers Open.

Although it is not a good thing that happened at the Farmers Open, it was nothing short of a miracle. Some fans found this incident sad.
What a golf shot! It was almost an eagle to get to 8 under par! He tapped it in for birdie to get to 7 under par, back to even par for the day! Go Tiger Woods!

It must have hit more stick than hole. He was totally robbed.

Many compared the situation with the situations from movies and cartoons. Unlike other times, the references were too good to be true.

As the artistic minds started joining the comment section, more hatred was shown towards the “satanic” ball.
He should change to other ball and throw away the stubborn ball that hate the hole. Look at how the ball behave on next hole eagle and birdie putts. 😭😤

Many fans speculated that either squirrel or frog might have been in the hole and pushed the ball out. However, the funniest ones were when people thought that Tiger did it to promote the ‘In-N-Out Burger’ joint.

It's a shame they aren't playing on the east coast. In-N-Out is only a west coast thing.
