It turns out, Tiger Woods is like most people.
Woods returned to his simulator League on Tuesday night, and a classic mixup with his teammates followed.
The 15-time big winner was 199 meters away from the PIN, but strangely had a 56-degree wedge in his hand. Not even Happy Gilmore could do it.

Woods asked his teammates again “how far” he was and it certainly sounds like one of Woods’ teammates said “99.” On the golf course, it is not uncommon for caddies and players to drop “a hundred.” However, it is more difficult to judge distance with a simulator than on the actual course.
Woods apparently had his distance confirmed and stuck with the wedge, but his teammates were confused.
“It looks like he has a wedge,” Tom Kim said.
Kevin Kisner added, “What is he doing?”
Too late – Woods swung, and Kim jumped out and laughs.

“What are you doing?” Asked Kim.
Kisner added, “one 99. “
“You said 99 yards!” Woods replied. At this point, Kim and Kisner were on the floor and laughed. “I just hit 99.”
“I heard 99 yards. So I grabbed my 56 and I hit it 100 yards!” Woods told Espns Marty Smith.
Woods later called it “one of the most embarrassing moments in my golf career.”
“I just turned up. It was embarrassing, ”he added.
For Woods and Hans Jupiter Links Golf Club, it didn’t matter when the New York Golf Club earned a 10-3 win. At one point Nygc led 8-0.

Woods returned to the track – or simulator – for the first time since his mother’s death. He was previously set to play in Genesis Invitational this past week, but said he wasn’t ready yet.
