Tiger Slam is an unbelievable feat to achieve in the sport of golf. Woods probably had the best year of his life in 2000, when he won three of the last major championships, thus achieving Tiger Slam. However, his caddie shared an interesting story about one of the tournaments in which Tiger played. What makes the story more startling is the fact that it happened outside the golf course.

Johnnie Walker Classic is yet another event that Woods claimed in the year 2000. Tiger won the 2000 Johnnie Walker Classic at Alpine Golf and Sports Club, Bangkok, Thailand. The icing on the cake was Tigers mother belonged to Thailand, so it made his win even more special.

Nevertheless, his caddie, Steve Williams, narrates how once he and Tiger had a near-death escape during that event. He shares an anecdote about how Tiger and he journeyed in a risky way to the golf course every day.

Recently, Steve appeared on a podcast named, Chasing Majors and talked about his and Tigers’ epic helicopter journey back in 2000. He said, “From the hotel where we were staying that we would take a helicopter to the golf course every week from the top of the hotel.”

“And the pilot of the helicopter was an old guy from World War Two, who spoke zero English and he was absolutely amazing. How he navigated to get off the top of those roof.”

He added, “But one day just it just plummeted out of the air. I thought we all thought that was all we’re all gone. He said I’m sorry about that boys took my eye off the John.

Wow! Now we know why Tiger blazed through the course that week in Thailand.
