Tiger Woods Had Scottie Scheffler Totally Baffled During a Conversation About Divots

Scheffler attempted to pick Woods’s brain about ball striking, but the 15-time major champion wouldn’t give much away.

Current PGA Tour players should find themselves lucky to tee it up in the same tournaments as Tiger Woods, let alone pick his brain on the game of golf. In the latest viral video clip from TaylorMade, Scottie Scheffler attempts to do just that, but Woods’s nonchalant response to the Texan’s genuine curiosity leaves him absolutely baffled. 

In the video, which was likely filmed months ago—long before Woods’s recent ankle surgery—Scheffler asks, “What’s up with the no divots?”

The camera pans to a patch of grass, where Woods was presumably hitting balls, but it looks nearly untouched by his irons. For most elite golfers, taking divots is a prerequisite for hitting a solid shot. 

“Why do you need to take a divot?” Woods replied. 

“I don’t know, I’m asking you,” Scheffler said. 

Woods then goes on to give perhaps the simplest answer to Scheffler’s loaded swing mechanics question.

“If I’m swinging it well, I don’t take divots,” Woods said. 

Scheffler then attempted to get more information out of the 15-time major champion, asking if he devoted specific practice to be able to pick his iron shots off the ground in such a precise manner. 

Woods, however, did not give anything away: “No, when I’m flushing it, I don’t take divots. It just is what it is.”

Scheffler’s face throughout the interaction is priceless. 

The 2022 PGA Tour Player of the Year and former Masters champion looks both intrigued by Woods and utterly baffled, or an extremely relatable combination of the two. 

Either way, the video is in the running for the most entertaining golf clip of the year.
