Tiger Woods described a yardage mix-up that left TGL team-mates Kevin Kisner and Tom Kim in fits of laughter as “one of the most embarrassing moments in my golfing career”.

The 49-year-old, playing for the Jupiter Links team in the partially virtual indoor tournament, left himself 199 yards to the hole on the 13th after his tee shot.

However, a mix-up between Woods and his caddie meant the 15-time major winner chose a wedge to hit his next shot 99 yards – leaving him 100 yards short.

A confused Woods immediately sought out his caddie, while team-mates Kisner and Kim rolled on the floor laughing.

Woods heard his caddie say “99”, but caddies often drop the first number when they deem the yardage to be obvious.

It was Woods’ first appearance since he announced the death of his mother, Kultida, on 4 February.
