Tiger Woods’ golf talent is well-known around the world. The 15-time major winner has done wonders for the sport of golf. Woods’ professional career has been full of ups and downs, and so has his personal life. But his skills on the field have only gotten better with each passing year. There was a time when Nick Price was stunned to see Woods’ extremely amazing performance on the field.

Nick Price was mesmerized by Tiger Woods’ performance

It was during the 2003 Presidents Cup when Tiger Woods was playing under the captaincy of his idol, Jack Nicklaus. Fans still remember it as one of the greatest moments in golf history. The game was tied with a score of 17-17 between both teams, and it was decided that there will be a sudden-death playoff. The captains from both teams had to pick their best players to compete for the final playoff to settle the tie.

As expected, Nicklaus selected the former World No. 1 Tiger Woods to play from his end. While the rival captain Gary Player sent Ernie Els who was World No. 2 back then. There was immense tension on the field as Els stared at Woods for three holes sinking one clutch putt after the other. And it was not long before the sun began to set in South Africa.
