Kevin Kisner’s unexpected bunker shot at TGL is still creating ripples of laughter and discussion in the golfing world. What was supposed to be a standard shot, turned into a comedic highlight that took many by surprise, including the legendary Tiger Woods. The event, which unfolded during the second Sunday, saw Woods’ team face a dramatic defeat against Los Angeles. However, it was Kisner’s amusing mishap that became the most memorable moment of the competition.
Max Homa, a renowned figure in the world of golf, shared some behind-the-scenes insights on The Smylie Show. Homa, who had the opportunity to play with Woods, opened up about the bond formed during such light-hearted moments. He emphasized that playing with Woods was an unparalleled experience, but the incident following Kisner’s bunker shot is something he’d fondly remember for the laughter and camaraderie it sparked.
Homa recalled, “Being part of a team with Tiger is truly a unique experience. But the laughter that ensued after Kisner’s incident, and the chance to see your idol in the game wiping tears of laughter from his face, is a memory that will last a lifetime. We laughed about it for over an hour. He even texted me afterwards saying, ‘I need the video, send me the video’. To me, that was the coolest part of it all,” as reported by The Golfing Gazette.
Homa further elaborated on the aura that Woods brings to every tournament. Despite his sporadic presence in major tournaments in recent years, Woods continues to be the main attraction in the golfing world. His remarkable achievements in the sport have earned him a special place in the hearts of fans and fellow golfers alike.
Homa expressed his hope for more such moments in the future. He said, “Those moments were priceless. For the fans, seeing Tiger, who has an almost God-like status, as just an ordinary guy, is a unique experience. He is an excellent person and a good friend. Seeing him in these situations, where he’s just being himself but still competitive, is what makes this sport so special. It’s worked very well that way.”
Homa’s statements provide a glimpse into the lighter side of professional golf, reminding us that even legends like Tiger Woods are human, capable of enjoying a good laugh in the midst of fierce competition.
