Everyone Said The Same Thing About Tiger Woods During Masters Weather Delay
The third round Masters Tournament Saturday got some bad news this afternoon when play was suspended due to inclement weather. But, with that bad news came a pleasant surprise for golf fans.
After the horn sounded to call all players and fans off the course just before 4 p.m. ET, CBS put on a re-run of a memorable Masters run: Tiger Woods’ 2019 championship-winning final round.
Woods was unable to participate in this year’s tournament due to the terrifying late-February car accident that left him with multiple serious leg injuries. Even though he couldn’t make it to Augusta this year, this replay of the all-time great golfer in peak Masters form was just what us rain delay viewers needed.
Fans from all over the world of golf seemed thrilled by the chance to see Tiger in his classic Sunday red and black.
