Tiger Woods has finally appeared on Barstool's golf podcast, The Fore Play Pod. He went to the golf course with Riggs, Trent, and Frankie to give tips and have fun.
They each told him a specific part of their game, and by the time they got to Riggs, who was asking for help with the driver, they decided to do the following: long drive competition.
But Woods didn't just hit the stripes. No, he even beat Riggs on his knees.
Woods, who suffered a horrific car accident in 2021, has been walking around with a limp for the past few years. He recently returned to the PGA Tour at the Hero World Challenge event in the Bahamas, where his lameness was largely gone.
Tiger fans were thrilled to see him do that, seeing him take a knee and hit it beautifully, then get back up with basically no problem.
The video went viral on social media, with nearly 1 million views on YouTube in just over 24 hours.
Fans who watched the competition reacted furiously.
Did he hit so far past Riggs from the knee that it wasn't worth measuring?

No, Tiger is a straight guy to make that move.

Trevor Immelman liked the content and poked fun at the podcaster.
Riggs also seemed confident after the drive. He hit a bomb, prompting Woods to make it interesting.
So many people enjoyed this moment. There was also a segment on The Today Show about this exchange. Only Tiger Woods can move the needle enough for a YouTube clip to be aired on national television.
It's also crazy to think that this might be one of the last moments Woods will photograph anything wearing Nike gear since his 27-year relationship with Woods ended earlier this week.
What a great moment for Woods to join an unfamiliar world. Big Cat isn't usually one to do things like this.
Fifteen years ago, Woods wouldn't have been so laid back and videos like this wouldn't have gone viral. Although he now has a 14-year-old son who is likely watching his foreplay, the 15-time major champion seems determined to have fun.
Growth in games comes in many forms, and this video proves it.
