‘I Hate the Guy’: Decades Later, Tiger Woods Continues To Haunt His Best Friend As Mark O’Meara Made a Painful Confession in 2021
Golf is perhaps the only game where the lower you score, the higher your chances are of winning. While on the course, every player has one main aim: to make their ball reach the hole in as few shots as possible. The elite, however, take that to a whole new level, with a goal so ambitious that even seasoned golfers find it hard to achieve!
This achievement is none other than golfers aiming for a score of 60 or lower on a regular par 72 course! Of course, it goes without saying that only the best of the best go on to accomplish this, and perhaps not even then! In fact, golf legend Tiger Woods himself has never achieved this on the PGA Tour. However, soon after turning pro, he once shot a career low of 59, with just his dear friend and golfer friend Mark O’Meara to witness it, forcing feelings of hatred (but not really) for him!
Being a friend and a mentor to one of the biggest golfers ever is a huge responsibility that sometimes has its perks. And pro golfer Mark O’Meara witnessed it firsthand when he saw Tiger Woods score the lowest record of 59. Woods made this rare achievement back in 1997, a year after turning pro. It was in his early days, when he was just 22, but he had still made a name for himself with his exceptional performances.
Practicing at the Isleworth Golf & Country Club, Woods was paired up with his friend Mark O’Meara. Woods delivered some remarkable eagles, birdies, and pars one after another at many holes. And with ease, he reached home at 59. The next day too, he put out a stupendous performance, and midway thorough O’Meara acted out!
