Tiger Woods is widely considered the greatest golfer of all time. With his 80+ PGA Tour wins and 15 majors, many view him as their role model. It is their dream to play with him or at least get to see him once in person. Yet, a 36-year-old Tour player once chose hot dogs over the golf legend’s phone call!

assistant captains of the upcoming Presidents Cup

Recently, it was announced that Steve Stricker and Webb Simpson would join Fred Couples and Zach Johnson as assistant captains of the upcoming Presidents Cup. Although the others have some experience as captains or assistant captains before, it is the first time Simpson would get to hold such a position.

Simpson made Tiger Woods wait before he could tell him the good news

According to Webb Simpson, he was at his favorite hotdog joint in Wilmington, North Carolina, when he got the call from Woods. The golfer explained that he was stressed then as his children had made the owner mad as they kept opening the door.

Simpson revealed that he called the 2019 Presidents Cup captain back after he got out of the hotdog joint. And Woods informed him about his involvement with the 2022 Presidents Cup.

Turned professional in 2008, Webb Simpson has played 336 events in total to win seven titles. Moreover, he has represented Team USA against the Team Internationals three times in the Presidents Cup. Notably, he has a career record of 5-3-2, including an impressive 3-1-0 in Foursomes.

Interestingly, the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, is hosting the upcoming Presidents Cup. And Simpson is a member of the Quail Hollow. “I look forward to helping the guys with a bit of course knowledge,” Simpson said. His teammates would be relying on the golfer as he understands the course inside out.
