Playing Games with Tiger Woods: The Unusual Contest Featuring David Feherty and Stevie Williams

In their video, titled “The bizarre contest Stevie Williams and David Feherty played with Tiger Woods,” GolfTV’s Feherty and Williams detailed the “children’s game” they played with the all-time great at Sherwood Country Club several years ago. Feherty picked a tree about 150 yards away, hit his second there, chipped on, and made a birdie. Woods and Williams elected to start short and work their way backward. Woods, using his wedge, got to within 10 feet, hit a great putt, and made eagle. Williams used a sand wedge into 20 feet before making birdie. They backed up once more before Feherty’s wayward drive ended the game. His point? Tiger was “off the charts” in every way.
