Sure, Augusta National and the Masters has always carried that Par Three Tournament jinx, where no player has ever gone on to win the big tournament after taking the little crown. The Memorial has no jinx, so Tiger Woods decided to compete today in a little Skins Game match with Jack Nicklaus, Kenny Perry and Stewart Cink.
Tiger needed to make this lengthy birdie putt on the 18th hole to deny Perry four skins and the win, hitting the dead center of the cup. With five skins now on the line, all four players had a chip-off to see who would leave with the most cash to donate to charity. It wasn't an easy chip, from some rough just off the 18th green. Guess what Tiger did ...

It isn't so much he's clutch as he never fails in the moment. If this little exhibition has any inclination of the week we should expect in Ohio, consider me downright giddy.
The reaction from everyone, including Tiger, is as priceless as the golf shot.

SO sick.
The sheer odds of sinking that putt THEN dunking that chip shot back-to-back are staggering enough, not to mention to HAVE to do it under pressure on the 18th.
I hope he puts on a clinic this week.
Tiger puts on a clinic whenever he plays. I've said this before and I will say it again, Tiger is the man to beat every time he tees it up. Win or lose he is a winner.
Tiger Woods Ya'llll!!!!
We saw Tiger in Charlotte right next to him...Our grandson ask for a autogragh..he just looked walked away with a smug look....He is a great golfer, but leaves much to be desired.......
