Tiger Woods is set to compete this week for the Claret Jug at the 152nd edition of The Open Championship, held at Royal Troon. Before he tees off in this prestigious major tournament, Woods showcased his pitching skills—this time with a golf ball.
The PGA Tour’s official X (formerly Twitter) account posted a photo of the 15-time major champion appearing to throw a two-seam fastball with his right hand. The caption read, “Tiger throwing strikes on the course ⚾️.”
Fans reacted with amusement to Woods’ lighthearted moment ahead of the serious competition at Royal Troon. Comments ranged from, “So he wants to change his career to playing baseball?” to “@Daniel_Rapaport Tiger throwing golf balls on the course. It doesn’t get any better than this folks,” and, “Too bad he’s a golfer and not a pitcher.”
