VIRTUAL INSANITY

Moment Tiger Woods is savagely mocked by son Charlie, 15, after huge blunder during debut in virtual golf event TGL

Legend and his team-mate were at the centre of a couple of amusing incidents

TIGER WOODS' TGL debut didn't go to plan - much to his son's glee.

Charlie, 15, treated a comical cock-up by the legend more like a dad joke than a dud stroke.

Woods Senior and Northern Ireland ace Rory McIlroy were the main drivers behind the new virtual event.

The league involves teams from six cities clashing over the golf season at the SoFi Center - a high-tech venue at Palm Beach State College in Florida.

Tiger, 49, played alongside Max Homa and Kevin Kisner for Jupiter Links.

But Jupiter were left seeing stars as Los Angeles - represented by Sahith Theegala, Collin Morikawa and Justin Rose - thumped them 12-1.

Tiger's low moment came on the second hole - a 582-yard, par-five monster. 

His approach shot from 101 yards out soared over the green and into water, leaving the crowd of 1,500 gasping in shock.

Tiger glared down glumly at the ground for a few seconds.

But as the cameras panned to the audience, there was a completely different response from Charlie.

Wearing a white baseball cap back to front, he grinned widely

He also opened his hand out in front of him, laughing and appearing to point at his dad.

At least Tiger was eventually able to see the funny side... albeit at the expense of a team-mate.

Kisner was attempting to get out of a bunker on the penultimate hole in his singles match against Morikawa.

But the 40-year-old from Carolina caught his shot too low on the club and pinged it straight into the flagstick.

Far from consoling their colleague, Woods and Homa led the guffawing.

In fact, Tiger doubled over in hysterics and 34-year-old Homa bent over as if in fear when the ball ricocheted away.

The reaction of Woods Junior to Kisner's mishap wasn't spotted.

But what are the odds it was much kinder than that towards his dad?!
