Tiger Woods waited 19 years to get revenge on Presidents Cup caddie after two-word insult

Tiger Woods proved that revenge is a dish best served cold with a cheeky jibe at the 2019 Presidents Cup.

The 15-time major waited 19 years to get his own back on Vijay Singh’s caddie after an infamous singles match at the 2000 match between Team USA and the Internationals. Woods showed impeccable patience on and off the course. Photo credit: AFP

Singh’s caddie that day was Paul Tesori, who was caddying for the third time on the PGA Tour.

But he quickly stole the spotlight wearing a hat that read “Tiger Hu?” on the back. The bold move was seen as a good-natured joke on Tesori’s part, a view shared by Singh. However, a focused Woods was far from amused. Woods was pranked by an ex-girlfriend with a baby squirrel that made headlines at the Presidents Cup

Tiger won three of the four majors in 2000, while Singh won the Masters, the only major he missed that year.

Preferring to do the talking on the course, Woods played the final 13 holes of the match at 7 under par to beat Singh 2-1. Tesori could do nothing but apologize to Woods after the event, but the hat story overshadowed Tiger’s media success.

Time may have passed, but Woods never forgot that day in Gainesville, Virginia. “Enough is enough” Caddie Patrick Reed suspended for fighting with fan at Presidents Cup

At the 2019 event, Woods reminded Tesori of his past attempts to eliminate the star, replaying a famous moment.

They’re friends now, but that didn’t stop Woods from exacting a little revenge.

The pair posed for a photo which saw Woods don a hat with the words ‘Paul Who? 2&1.”

Speaking of the pair’s banter, Tesori said: “He [Woods] just loves that story. “Tiger makes me talk about it at every team event. He laughs and enjoys every aspect of it.” “Every year he says to me, ‘Paulie, Paulie, come on, let’s hear it! Let’s hear it!’ And I say to him, ‘Tiger Woods was cheated on by his ex-girlfriend and let a baby squirrel steal the spotlight at the Presidents Cup.
