Scottie Scheffler proves Tiger Woods wrong, leaves him surprised after acing 'rare' shot
Scottie Scheffler and Tiger Woods featured in a recent promotional video for TaylorMade, a brand that has both among its top star sponsors. In the video, Scheffler pulled off a difficult shot, which amazed Woods.
The video saw Scottie Scheffler and Tiger Woods demonstrating approach shots to the green, with the participation of another TaylorMade player, Tommy Fleetwood. During the demonstration, Woods asked Scheffler to show him how he would look for the front right pin.
"I probably need to choke down a little bit and the cut it," Scheffler said. [0.03 - 0.05]
Tiger Woods was not convinced that Scottie Scheffler could approach the pin properly by cutting the ball from the distance they were at (272 yards). Woods even asked Scheffler if it would be possible for him to give him enough height, to which Scheffler replied:
"With a cut I can." [0.09 - 0.10]
Woods responded:
"That's a pretty rare shot." [0.11 - 0.12]
Scheffler then demonstrated with a Qi10 Fairway Wood shot that cut from left to right in search of the green. His shot was of such quality that it left the ball only a few feet from the pin, drawing praise from Woods:
"Golf shot. Well done. Golf shot," Woods said, admiring Scheffler's technique. [0.16 - 0.19]
Scottie Scheffler and Tiger Woods are two of the main members of TaylorMade's sponsorship portfolio. The brand also sponsors other stars like Rory McIlroy, Nelly Korda, Tommy Fleetwood, Brooke Henderson and Charley Hull.
