Tiger Woods laughed at “one of the most embarrassing moments of my career” after a yardage blunder during Jupiter Links Golf Club’s 10-3 TGL hammering by New York.
Woods had 199 yards to the 13th hole but heard his caddie say 99 instead and proceeded to land a wedge some 99 yards short of its target at the SoFi Center in Florida on Tuesday night.
As a flummoxed Woods – who lost that hole to Cameron Young – tried to work out what had just occurred, Jupiter team-mates Kevin Kisner and Tom Kim burst into laughter.

Speaking afterwards the 15-time major champion told ESPN: “One of the most embarrassing moments in my golfing career just happened. I just screwed up. That was embarrassing.”
Jupiter were routed by a New York team comprising Young, Rickie Fowler and former US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick, falling 8-0 down before eventually getting on the board.
Woods’ side – for whom Kim produced a moment of magic with a long-range birdie putt – are 1-2 for the season with New York improving to 2-1.

Tuesday’s match marked Woods’ first action since the passing of his mother Kultida at the age of 80.
He subsequently withdrew from last week’s Genesis Invitational at Torry Pines.
Kultida had watched Tiger playing in TGL at the SoFi Center on January 27.
Woods, who walked out on Tuesday with 16-year-old son Charlie by his side, said: “It’s a process. This was the last time she ever watched me play. It’s a bit emotional coming in here tonight.”
