It isn’t every day that one gets the opportunity to share a practice session with Tiger Woods. Bryson DeChambeau got that golden back in 2018. It was his certain decisions that made DeChambeau realize how much of a nerd Woods was.

During an episode of the Full Send Podcast, DeChambeau shared details of what it feels like to train with the G.O.A.T. He also disclosed how nervous he was before practicing with the legend.

The incident took place back in 2018, at Torrey Pines. Woods invited DeChambeau to join him for a practice session, which DeChambeau obviously couldn’t turn down.

The Scientist revealed that this was the most nervous he ever felt on the golf course, despite playing in many Majors and the Ryder Cup. However, he labeled it a cool experience too.

DeChambeau said, “And I had been texting with him a little bit, but shook his hand and just like, nothing, there was nothing. He’d just look at you. And that’s when I first met him. You’d be like this, and he’d just look at you and just look away and not even know you were there anymore. That’s how weird — amazing it was.”

DeChambeau also added how clueless he was regarding what to say to his idol while walking to the 10th hole. He also mentioned how there was no conversation between them for the next two holes. But finally, for the 12th hole, DeChambeau asked Woods about his putting.

The 28-year-old said, “And then finally on 12, I asked him about something in his putting, and it’s like — because I’m a geek when it comes to putting and golf and whatever; everybody calls me the scientist, whatever — he’s a nerd as well.” DeChambeau ends by saying, “Complete nerd. And I love it.”

Bryson  talked how the 46-year-old was so well versed with minute details of putting. DeChambeau was lucky enough to play golf with Woods during a practice session because if he did play with him during a competitive tournament, there wouldn’t be much of conversation happening.
