Tiger Woods’ TGL teammates break down in laughter after golf icon suffers ‘most embarrassing moment of career’
TIGER WOODS suffered the "most embarrassing moment" of his career during an appearance at a TGL indoor match.
The golf star was caught in an unfortunate mixup when taking one of his shots.
Woods, 49, was lining up a shot and asked for the yardage to the target to be confirmed.
He heard a call of 99 yards.
The 15-time major champion then hit what he thought would be an ideal shot as it travelled 100 yards.
However, as the ball bounced down on the simulator, it had clearly only travelled half the required distance.

The actual distance he needed to hit was 199 years.
Caddies often drop the first number when it appears obvious.
Kevin Kisner and Tom Kim broke down in laughter at their Jupiter Links team-mate's misfortune.
Woods attempted to defend himself after losing the 13th hole against New York Golf Club's Cameron Young.

He said: "I heard 99 yards, so I went out there and hit it.
"One of the most embarrassing moments in my golfing career just happened.
"I just screwed up. That was embarrassing."
The costly error did little to effect the final score of the match as New York won 10-3.
Fans were just as shocked by the gaffe as they reacted on social media.
One posted: "Ohh nooo, that’s gotta hurt."
A second wrote: "Don't worry Tiger. This has happened to me too. We're the same."
A third commented: "I've had this mixup countless times, don't worry Tiger."
A fourth said: "Tough break, but I guess even legends make mistakes sometimes."
