Tiger Woods showed off his putting ability after his final practice round for The Masters on Tuesday.
In a clip shared by the NFL on Wednesday morning, a fan raised his hands, apparently giving Woods a goal to throw the golf ball after his round. The fans stood several meters out in a sea of spectators.
Still, Woods was happy to oblige and lobbed the ball across to his target.
Another man tried to jump in front to intercept the pass. The ball initially bounced off the goalie’s hands as others around them prepared to catch a loose ball.
After a slight fumble, however, the ball ended up with the intended catcher as the crowd cheered.

Woods, 48, is competing at The Masters hoping for his sixth green jacket
‘@TigerWoods plays some QB at @TheMasters,’ the NFL wrote. ‘Just threw it in the bucket for the lucky fan’.
Woods returns to Augusta in search of his sixth green jacket. After his impressive practice rounds on Monday and Tuesday, the golf legend showed defiance, despite several physical roadblocks.
“If everything comes together, I think I can get one more (Green Jacket),” he said at a news conference.
Woods is 12 months removed from the ankle surgery that saw him play just 24 holes of competitive golf this year. He claimed to work slowly into the conflict but acknowledged the physical difficulties four months after his 48th birthday.

“As far as my physicality on certain shots (goes), every shot that’s not on the tee box is a challenge,” he admitted at a news conference Tuesday. ‘When we first start the hole, it’s a bit of a challenge.’
‘The body (has) things that just flare up. The training that we have to do at home, it changes from day to day. Some days I feel good, other days not so much.’
While achieving this feat is no walk in the park for Woods, he is no stranger to upsetting the odds at Augusta. In 2019, Woods became the second-oldest golfer in history to win the Masters at 43.
