Of course, everyone will have their favourite memory of Woods and given he’s done it at all the best courses in the world, he’s entertained the masses worldwide.
Indeed, the legendary St Andrews course is one of Woods’ favourite tracks.
And according to to Ernie Els’ former caddy Ricci Roberts, it’s at St Andrews where he saw Woods pull off one of his greatest ever achievements.
What Tiger Woods did at St Andrews in 2000 that was ‘unbelievable’
Speaking on the latest episode of the 19th Uncut podcast, Roberts recalled being paired with Tiger at the 2000 Open at St Andrews.
And in doing so, he reminded everyone what Woods managed to do that year which was incredible.
“The most amazing feat I saw here was going back in 2000 and I was caddying for Nick Price. We were paired with a Japanese guy and Tiger, first two rounds,” Roberts said.
“And you know, that year the weather was pretty good but still to play 72 holes around this golf course and not hit it in one bunker, and not have one three-putt. Now, even in the calmest conditions, that takes some doing.
“You know, it’s just unbelievable.”
Tiger Woods is a golfing marvel
Even in the modern day game in 2024, Tiger Woods remains the main man and the one player on the PGA Tour who everyone has kind words about.
Indeed, just this week, Collin Morikawa spoke of Woods and how he still has the touch and feel around the greens that’s better than most on TOUR.
Furthermore, Xander Schauffele shared his story on how he was amazed at just how many fans turned out to watch Tiger back in 2019.
Just there are two examples of how Woods has impacted the modern player and you can find countless other examples as well.
Woods, then, when he finally does decide to call it a day, will very much be remembered as one of – if not the – most influential golfer of all time.
