Awkward clip shows moment Tiger Woods 'knocks someone out' at The Masters golf tournament

People are flooding to social media in shock after Tiger Woods' ball appeared to hit a fan and knock them out at the Masters.

The 2024 Masters Tournament of the Augusta National is taking place over 11 April to tomorrow (14 April) at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, United States.

Naturally, the 88th edition of the Masters Tournament which is the first of the men's four major golf championships of 2024 saw none other than Tiger Woods take to the green, however, one of his shots has ended up going viral on social media and not for the reasons you may think.

Play was suspended on Thursday (11 April) due to poor weather conditions, with Woods having played 'one under after 13 holes' as per Sky News.

On Friday (12 April) he took to the green to complete his final holes, however, it was when it came to his second round of the day where it all went a bit rogue - and no, not because he decided to pass someone a tampon again.

Footage of the play seemed to show the golf ball flying out and into a group of onlookers, reportedly hitting a fan, who can be seen in the footage quickly falling to the floor and it's not taken long for the clip to be widespread on social media.

One X user said: "Tiger Woods just knocked someone tf out on live TV at The Masters."

"i just knew from that sound someone was getting hit. That was a straight MISSLE," another added.

A third commented: "Bro got doinked."

"Bro imagine the force behind a golf ball hit my Tiger Woods, I know that hurt," a fourth wrote.

And a final said: "I always thought about this situation happening like why is the crowd just there."

Despite hitting the ball off the tee, Woods still has 'a chance going into the weekend'.

He said: "I'm tired. I've been out for a while, competing, grinding. It's been a long 23 holes, a long day. But Lance [Bennett, caddie] and I really did some good fighting today, and we've got a chance

"[...] I’m here. I have a chance to win the golf tournament. I got my two rounds in. I just need some food and some caffeine, and I’ll be good to go."

Although, the poor fan who seemingly felt the wrath of his flying ball may need a bit more than a snack and some coffee.

UNILAD has contacted Tiger Woods' representatives for comment.
