Tiger Woods described a yardage mix-up that left TGL team-mates Kevin Kisner and Tom Kim in fits of laughter as “one of the most embarrassing moments in my golfing career”.

The 49-year-old, playing for the Jupiter Links team in the partially virtual indoor tournament, left himself 199 yards to the hole on the 13th after his tee shot.

However, a mix-up between Woods and his caddie meant the 15-time major winner chose a wedge to hit his next shot 99 yards – leaving him 100 yards short.

A confused Woods immediately sought out his caddie, while team-mates Kisner and Kim rolled on the floor laughing.

Woods heard his caddie say “99”, but caddies often drop the first number when they deem the yardage to be obvious.

“One of the most embarrassing moments in my golfing career just happened,” said Woods.

“I just screwed up. That was embarrassing.”

The mix-up came as Jupiter Links were resoundingly beaten 10-3 by New York Golf Club.

It was Woods’ first appearance since he announced the death of his mother, Kultida, on 4 February.

Woods’ 16-year-old son, Charlie, accompanied him as he walked out for Tuesday’s event at the SoFi Center in California.

Kultida Woods had watched her son play for the last time at the same arena on 27 January.
