UNBELIEVABLE 10x Tiger Woods Shocked The Golf World

While Tiger Woods may have a long list of accomplishments under his belt, let us take you through the Top 10 Best Tiger Woods shots that shocked the world.

Tiger Woods, the universally acclaimed American professional golfer has 82 PGA tour wins, the only person other than Sam Snead, to hold the most wins in history.

With five Masters Tournaments, four PGA Championships, three U.S. Open Championships and Three British Open Championships, Tiger became the first golfer to hold all four prestigious victories. Without further ado, let’s move on to the 10 times Tiger shocked the world!

No. 10

Famous Island Green Putt-17 hole The putt happened in 2001 at hole no 17 at TPC Sawgrass. The course’s most notable hole known as the “Island Green,”. This hole scares even the most skilled golfer.

Woods was at 9-under par before the putt, tied for second place with Vijay Singh, three shots behind the leader Jerry Kelly.

This amazing 60ft putt for birdie remains one of the most memorable moments in Players Championship history.

No.9

First Hole-in-One after two decades Believe it or not after Tiger’s first hole in one in 1988 it took Tiger two decades for his next hole in one.

At the Madison Club in La Quinta Tiger Woods aced the 210-yard, par-3 second hole at with a 5-iron. Immediately after Woods struck the ball, he knew it was looking great and had a chance.

That hole-in-one will go down as one of the loudest shots in golf history. Woods later said it was his 20th-career ace.

No. 8

Strategy of Hitting The Fans Tiger Woods’ strategy on the 2nd hole at the Masters was to hit the fans with his ball on purpose.

Tiger Woods has always done well on the par-5 second hole at Augusta National, posting a score of 26-under on that hole alone in 19 Masters tournaments compared to 56-under on the other 17 holes combined.

It turns out that occasionally he got some help by deliberately aiming his approach shot at the fans.

Woods’ friend and Notah Begay told the story of how he received an odd tip from Woods on how to play the second hole when the pin is placed towards the back of the green.

“Tiger Woods told me how to play the second hole, and he learned from Ray Floyd in the back-right hole location, you land the ball hole-high and let it bounce into the gallery and it hits the gallery in their feet and it stops there and you chip back and you putt it in for birdie,” he said.

No. 7

2000 U.S. Open – 6th Hole At the 2000 U.S. Open, while playing the par-5 6th hole at Pebble Beach, Tiger Woods smashed his 7-iron from 205 yards out of ankle-deep rough and incredibly found the green, two-putting for birdie, a memorable one indeed.

No. 6.

Cold Streaks Mean Nothing In golf, there are so many things that can take a player off their game. Not only are you battling other players who can get hot one day and go ape on their putting, but you’re battling the weather conditions, the course, and, more importantly, your mental and emotional sanity at every second.

Despite his marital dispute, back surgeries, and a list of other problems that could put him off-course, Tiger Woods surged up the leaderboard, to win the Masters in 2019.

Following the win, Woods said “It’s unreal for me to experience this. It was one of the hardest I’ve ever had to win just because of what’s transpired the last couple of years.” We’re happy he managed to overcome his challenges.

No. 5

Shot In the Dark at Firestone One of the most memorable shots Tiger Woods ever struck was also the one that no one actually saw.

Due to a storm delay, Woods and Hal Sutton finished the final round of the 2000 NEC Invitational at Firestone Country Club in near-darkness at 8:30 p.m. in Akron, Ohio.

The crowds roared, holding up burning lighters, and gave Woods a thundering ovation as he approached the green.

On being asked, this is what he said jokingly “I don’t know, I couldn’t see it. But I could hear it”. He however had a gigantic lead — the last birdie had left him at 21 under par, 11 strokes ahead of the nearest contender. He won the 2000 World Golf Championships- NEC Invitational by an incredible 11 shots.

No. 4.

No. 1 at Hazeltine—2002 PGA Championship 18th Hole It’s not often that you see a guy hit a 3-iron from a downhill lie out of a fairway bunker that flies 210 yards.

Hooks around a large tree, and lands eight feet from the hole. It’s often less that you see a golf player follow up a magical shot like that by sinking his eight-foot birdie putt.

But, there’s one very good reason why you may have never heard about Tiger Woods’ incredible bunker shot at Hazeltine.

If Woods had won the 2002 PGA Championship, his bunker shot might have gone down as one of the greatest golf shots of all time.

No. 3.

2008 U.S. Open 2008 US Open, Tiger Woods Wins a Thriller—18th Hole. It wasn’t a shock when Tiger Woods won the 2008 U.S. Open, Tiger Woods knew what he needed.

Everyone else knew what he was capable of. Standing on the par-5 18th hole on the South Course at Torrey Pines – the 72nd hole in the 2008 U.S. Open – Woods trailed Rocco Mediate by only one shot.

Woods thought about hitting a 56-degree wedge from the rough on the final hole of regulation. He had 95 yards to the front of the green and 101 yards to the pin.

His caddie, Steve Williams, convinced him to hit a 60-degree wedge, instead. It worked. Tiger played his third shot right of the hole and his ball settled about 15 feet away.

This one may stand the test of time. It might forever be Woods’ greatest moment. But with Tiger, even with where he is now in his career, there is always the possibility of greater things. (2008 U.S. Open—18th Hole Tiger woods – Bing)

No. 2.

2000 Bell Canadian Open-18th Hole The final round of the 2000 PGA Championship Woods and May finished five shots clear of the field at 18 under and set off for a three-hole playoff.

Woods produced another memorable putt on the first playoff hole when he walked briskly after his 20-footer for birdie and delivered a finger-wagging celebration as the ball fell into the hole.

Woods nursed that 1-shot advantage to victory with two pars. None of that would have happened without making the 7-footer on 18.

“I was going for three majors in a row there,” Woods further explained why this was the best putt of his career. “Ben Hogan won three in a row and I’ve done it.

That’s it. We’re the only ones to win three professional majors in a row.” (96) Signature Shots: Tiger Woods, 18th hole, 2000 Bell Canadian Open – YouTube

No. 1.

2005 Masters – 16th Hole Tiger Woods and other players birdied 15 and set up an exciting and memorable 16th hole.

With DiMarco sitting comfortably in the middle of the green, Woods dragged his tee shot just off the green.

Woods made an astonishing chip, aiming 20 feet (6 m) to the left of the hole and using the sloping green to run the ball towards the hole.

It was impossibly still, the ball crawled towards the cup and appeared to stop on the lip of the hole before toppling in for a dramatic birdie. ‘Here it comes. Oh, my goodness! Oh, Wow! In Your Life, have you seen anything like that?– Verne Lundquist CBS’s famous call of Tiger Woods’ chip-in on the 16th hole. DiMarco missed his birdie putt and the lead grew back to two with just two holes to play.
