The Buffalo Bills had a fairly successful season until the Cincinnati Bengals edged them out of the Super Bowl race in the NFL Divisional Round Game. So, now that the season has ended, and the offseason is in full swing, star quarterbacks are relaxing. But the Bills QB, Josh Allen, went out to meet the golf legend, Tiger Woods. And with his expression, it seems he is quote happy to meet the legend.
The golf icon returned to the course after seven months. He was the star of the show at Genesis Invitational, where hundreds followed him across all four days. One of them was Allen, who was tongue-tied but played it really cool when he saw the 47-year-old. However, one may consider the second-team All-Pro shot-caller as the luckiest guy because he managed to get Woods’ attention.
Woods and Allen greeted each other, shook hands, and engaged in a brief conversation at Riviera Golf Club after Tiger finished up a Sunday 73. Their encounter was recorded in a video that garnered a lot of views. We can see a flushed Allen, talking to Tiger. When fans saw the exchange, they found it sweet and commented on how lucky Allen was to get the attention of the golf GOAT.

In the video, which Sports Illustrated shared, Allen, congratulated his idol and complimented him for putting up a great tournament. Mr T thanked him. Then a reporter asked the star QB how he felt after meeting Tiger Woods.
Only two athletes in the world could make him nervous. One was the Los Angeles Lakers’ late superstar Kobe Bryant, and the other is the 82-time PGA Tour events winner. Allen said that his own heartbeat quickens whenever Woods stands over a significant putt. When fans saw such a reaction from him, they had varied reactions.
This fan thought that QB Allen was close to shedding tears.

A fan loved how the Wyoming product respected Woods and did not act too full of himself.
This is why Josh is top level. His respect here for Tiger is obvious and the fact he isn’t too proud, too cool and can admit he has looked up to him….that is a self confidence that is real and a respect for greatness that is genuine. Awesome.
