Tiger Woods is almost always phenomenal when he graces a course. Arguably, it’s his competitive nature and ironclad will—that he’s always flaunted during his 27-year-long career—that make it possible. But it seems as if there is yet another side to the golfer that his fans are perhaps less aware of—a humorous yet sarcastic one at that.

And that side is exactly what shone through during one moment at the 2023 PNC Championship when the 15-time major winner, with a poker face, made a statement that cracked up everyone around him!

Tiger Woods flaunts his humorous side with “aim”

The 82X PGA Tour champ and his son battled it out against the team of Justin Thomas and his father, Mike Thomas, on day 1 of the parent-child event. Team Woods was only able to grab a T11 finish after the first round at 8-under par, but that didn’t hinder the duo from making some long-lasting memories on the course, one of which involved not just Team Woods but Charlie’s friend, “Big Dog.”

In a post shared by the PGA Tour on Twitter (now X), the 15-time major champ was seen talking to his son’s caddie in the tee box. In an act of hyping up Luke Wise, who was Charlie’s assistant on the bags, Mr. T candidly shook his hand, dubbing him “Big Dog,” and said, “Let’s go to work.” However, the scene doesn’t end there, as the video goes on to show another cheeky side of the golfer.

Following his friendly gesture with Luke Wise, the 47-year-old started looking onto the course and hilariously pointed out that he would aim at “that camera dude right there” and “crop dust him” with a drive straight towards him! Unsurprisingly, everyone around him couldn’t help but laugh at the golf pro’s poker-faced joke.

This humorous and sarcastic side of Woods is not always on display on the greens, unlike his golfing prowess, which has earned the Hall of Famer many accolades. However, many close to him, including his rival at the PNC Champions, JT, have apparently seen this side of him more than once.

Justin Thomas is more than familiar with Woods’s sarcastic side

Although it isn’t known what Team Thomas or any of Woods’s other rivals on the course thought of the golf legend’s recent comment, many times in the past, JT has made it clear that he is quite familiar with this side of Woods. In fact, in 2021, the 2-time major winner even sat down on the No Laying Up Podcast to talk about the golf legend, who was then on a hiatus.

Thomas revealed that even though Woods was recovering, the two would often meet, mostly on account of their dogs playing with each other. Talking to the hosts about those times, JT stated that even despite not being at 100%, the 15-time Master Champion was still full of sarcasm. labeling him a “sarcastic a**hole,” he revealed that Woods was a lot more cheerful than he had expected, showing that the 17-time PGA Tour winner was more than well-versed in that side of the golf pro.
