Tiger Woods is busy this week, but not at his usual business. The veteran golfer is in Sin City for a TGR Foundation charity event. And, Woods was spotted playing poker in Las Vegas.
It was part of Tiger Jam, a two-day gala hosted by the TGR Foundation.
The annual event returned to Vegas this year. As part of the unique experience, guests would get the chance to tee off at Shadow Creek Golf Course,
famed as much for its unique Tom Fazio-designed layout as for hosting the famed made-for-TV Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson match.
The Friday night experience featured a charity poker event in collaboration with the World Poker Tour.
It was presented by Maria Ho, one of the most well-known female poker players in the world and a Women in Poker Hall of Fame inductee. Woods, apparently, sat at the table for this particular event.
The world isn’t aware of his poker skills, but what caught the fans’ eyes was his muscular buildup. Woods’s physical transformation since coming back from surgery has always been a hot topic for discussion. Now, when TWLegion, a Tiger Woods tracking page, posted a screengrab from the promotional video, it quickly turned the conversation around his physique.
Fans marvel at Tiger Wood’s ‘yolked’ look
The last time Tiger Jam came to Vegas, Russell Westbrook and Woods went head-to-head. The NBA star, though, eventually walked off with a smile. The who’s who have reached Vegas, but the news is yet to come out about Woods’s result this time. Not that it matters for fans. They are sold on the 48-year-old’s jacked-up look.
One user compared the 15-time Major champion with retired wrestling star Hulk Hogan. Sharing a GIF of the former wrestler, they captioned, “Look at those pipes.” Phrases like ‘jacked’, ‘yolked’, and ‘looking swole’ filled the comment section.
Some, on the other hand, wondered how Tiger Woods looked so pumped up despite nearing 50. The five-time Masters champion, at his heyday, was leaner. Even during Tiger Slam, the former World No.1 wasn’t the most physical guy on the Tour, although he ripped 300-yard drives regularly.
When the 82-time PGA Tour winner came back at the Hero World Challenge, fans pointed out that the veteran looked more muscular than ever. Some are still baffled at Woods’s physical transformation. One of them wrote, “Why is he so puffy?” Although, some suggested it was because of the prescribed medications after the surgery, Tiger Woods, hasn’t divulged any details.
Tiger Woods will tee up at the U.S. Open on a special invite. The veteran golfer reaffirmed his commitment to play one tournament a month. It looks like Woods is going to tee up only in four majors till the Open Championship. The veteran hasn’t shared his plans beyond Royal Troon.
