Watch the brilliant moment golf icon Tiger Woods channels his inner quarterback to perfectly throw a ball into a fan’s hands during Augusta practice round
Tiger Woods showed his throwing ability after his final practice round for The Masters on Tuesday.
In a clip shared by the NFL on Wednesday morning, a fan put his hands up, seemingly giving Woods a target to throw the golf ball after his round. The fan was standing several yards out in a sea of spectators.
Still, Woods gladly obliged and threw the ball across toward his target.
Another man tried to jump in front to intercept the pass. The ball initially bounced off the target’s hands as others surrounding them prepared to catch a loose ball.
However, after a slight fumble, the ball ended with the intended catcher as the crowd cheered on.

Woods, 48, is competing at The Masters in hopes of getting his sixth green jacket
‘@TigerWoods playing a little QB at @TheMasters,’ the NFL wrote. ‘Dropped it right in the bucket for that lucky fan.’
Woods is returning to Augusta in search of his sixth green jacket. After his impressive practice rounds on Monday and Tuesday, the golf legend showed defiance despite going through several physical roadblocks.
‘If everything comes together, I think I can get one more [Green Jacket],’ he said in a press conference.
Woods is 12 months removed from the ankle surgery that had him play only 24 holes of competitive golf this year. He claimed to want to work slowly into contention but acknowledged the physical difficulties four months after his 48th birthday.
In 2019, the golf legend became the oldest player to win The Masters at the age of 43
‘As far as my physicality on certain shots [goes], every shot that’s not on the tee box is a challenge,’ he admitted at a press conference on Tuesday. ‘Once we start the hole it’s a bit of a challenge.’
‘The body [has] things that just flare up. The training that we have to do at home, it changes from a day-to-day basis. Some days I feel good, other days not so much.’
While achieving the feat will not be a walk in the park Woods, he is no stranger to upsetting the odds in Augusta. In 2019, Woods became the second oldest golfer in history to win the Masters at 43.
