Tiger Woods revealed his unique caffeine concoction after a reporter noticed him carrying a giant plastic Starbucks cup.
Following the Tomorrow Golf League (TGL) showdown between Woods’ Jupiter Links Golf Club and Boston Common Golf on Monday, January 27, the golfer was asked by TGL reporter Claire Rogers about his drink of choice.
“That coffee you brought in, was it a Frappuccino?” she asked. “What were you drinking on your way in today?”
“Yeah, it was!” Woods, 49, replied. “It was a Frappuccino with three shots, yes.”
Comedian Andrew Schulz is ready to take to the dais again after tearing the house down at Netflix’s Roast of Tom Brady. Schulz, 41, was one of many celebrities who roasted the former New England Patriots quarterback, 47, during the raucous live event in May 2024. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Schulz revealed […]
Woods added the espresso shots to what appeared to be a Venti-sized Frappuccino, a blended ice drink that usually contains coffee, ice, flavoring and whipped cream. It is unclear what flavor Frappuccino Woods chose.
Rogers’ followers couldn’t help but delight in the outside-the-box question to one of the greatest athletes of all-time. “This is the hard hitting journalism I want,” one person commented on the video. “Claire out here getting the vital information.”
Another pointed to Woods’ response, alluding to the idea that he might have been embarrassed about his drink choice. “The way he says three shots was verrrrry defensive,” one viewer joked.
Woods’ affinity for Frappuccinos is relatively new, at least according to a 2020 interview with GOLFTV. In a conversation with host Henni Zuel, Woods said his Starbucks order was “a grande, nonfat, double shot hazelnut latte.” When Zuel raised an eyebrow at his drink, Woods chuckled and said, “I know, stop.”
As for TGL, the new golf league was launched by Woods and Rory McIlroy earlier this month. Monday night’s match saw Woods’ team — alongside teammates Tom Kim, Max Homa and Kevin Kisner — defeat McIlroy, 35, and his Boston Common Golf teammates Keegan Bradley, Hideki Matsuyama and Adam Scott 4-3 in overtime.
The league consists of six teams who go head-to-head indoors at the SoFi Center, a first-of-its-kind venue built specifically for TGL on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth Beach, Florida.
Nearly 15 years after their scandalous divorce made headlines, Tiger Woods and his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, reunited on the golf course. Woods, 48, and his 15-year-old son, Charlie Woods — who he shares with Nordegren, 44 — played side-by-side in the PNC Championship in Orlando, Florida over the weekend. After walking off the 18th green […]
“It couldn’t have been a more pleasurable display of golf [and] banter,” Woods told reporters after Monday’s match. “Everyone in the audience was engaged. Hopefully, all the viewership were engaged. We as players loved it. This is what we had envisioned for TGL, to have an experience like this, and I think we delivered.”
Despite his team’s loss, McIlroy was equally energized about the league’s debut thus far.
“It’s been really cool to hear that a younger demographic, it’s sort of resonated with them,” McIlroy told reporters. “That’s a really cool thing. One of the visions when we started was to try to engage that younger demographic and give them a bite-sized version of golf that they could get into and understand. And hopefully, we’ve done that.”
TGL’s 15-match regular season runs through March 4, followed by the playoffs later that month.
