“I go on the putting green, I was just putting and I heard like mad, like people screaming and I thought that’s weird… And I turn around and sure, it’s Tiger… He walked literally right by me, like I was putting like that, he walked like that here. Could feel the aura. And it smelled, I mean, he smelled amazing. Honestly, and he walked just right by and I was thinking I am so nervous now,” Ferguson said. [00:12]
The three-time DP World Tour winner also detailed how he had asked Tiger Woods for a photo.
“I thought I need to get my phone to my caddie and say can you get me a wee picture of Tiger?... And I was like, Tiger, any chance of a photo? And he went, ‘pardon?’ and I thought, you’re joking what have I done and he goes, and I goes, any chance of a photo please and he went ‘absolutely,’” Ferguson added. [01:10]

Tiger Woods announces unfortunate injury and plans to focus on recovery
15-time Major Championship winner Tiger Woods recently suffered an injury in his left Achilles that required surgery. As such, he revealed that he would be taking time to heal, rest, and recover. This has led many fans to believe that he may not return to competition as soon as they had hoped.
“As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured,” Woods said.
“This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon. ‘The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery,’ added Dr. Stucken,” he continued.
Woods further shared that he was back home following the surgery, and that his major focus was on getting better through rehab. He also thanked his fans and followers for the support they showed.
