Remember the name Taylor Crozier. Chances are, Tiger Woods will for a long time.
The golf legend was present for the grand opening of The Playgrounds, a 10-hole course that he helped design at Bluejack National just outside of Houston.
As part of the grand-opening festivities, the new course had kids on hand to embrace all its features. One of those kids was the 11-year-old Crozier, who as reported by PGA.com, was introduced on the PA system as having "perfect attendance in school this year — until today."
With Woods and a large crowd watching behind him, Taylor stepped up to the tee to take the very first shot on the new course.
And the preteen more than made the first shot on The Playgrounds count, calmly taking a swing, launching the ball onto the green, where it took a sweet spin right into the hole for a thrilling hole-in-one. Naturally, the crowd lost its mind, cheering wildly for Crozier, as Woods himself was in disbelief, seeking Taylor out to give him a big hug.
As the crowd continued to cheer, Woods himself began clapping for the kid. Hard act to follow when a kid shows you up on the golf course you designed ... especially when you're Tiger Woods.
But Woods couldn't be happier for Crozier, as shown in a moment the 11-year-old, Tiger himself, the crowd and everyone who sees this clip on YouTube won't forget anytime soon. What a moment!
Seconds after the thrilling shot, Tiger was still in awe, putting his hands on his head in disbelief, before telling the crowd, "Unbelievable! Are you kidding me right now?"
Incredible. The moment has already amassed 382,172 views — and counting — on YouTube. Oddly enough, Wednesday's moment comes as Woods seems to be attempting a return to the PGA Tour, as evidenced by a tweeted video of him swinging with the help of a golf simulator last week.
Woods' agent Mark Steinberg told ESPN that the video was posted on the golfer's Twitter account to refute reports that the former No. 1 golfer is having difficulty with his ongoing recovery, with such stories even claiming he has trouble merely sitting in his car.
"This was meant more for all of Tiger's fans who had reached out since all of this erroneous reporting came out over the weekend that he was so disabled he had to sit in the passenger seat of a car," Steinberg told ESPN. "So many had reached out and wondered if this was the end and if this was true. This was meant to give the most recent update."
Hey, maybe Tiger could get Crozier to help him with his swing.
