Incredible moment Tiger Woods nails the camera at TGL on first attempt
- The futuristic TGL golf league made its much-anticipated debut on Tuesday
The debut of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlory's TGL golf league wowed fans on Tuesday night, but there was also one incredible moment from Woods before the action kicked off.
The 15-time Major winner, whose Jupiter Links team will make their TGL debut next Tuesday, was playing around on the league's futuristic set at SoFi Stadium when someone asked if he could hit the ball at a camera.
And as he later told McIlroy and Mike McCarley (the founder of TGL parent company TMRW Sports) in a mic'd up segment, he managed to achieve the feat on the first try.
Video posted to TGL's social media shows Woods nailing an extremely high-perched camera on the set, leading to audible 'oohs and ahs' in the area.
Fans were also left stunned by the feat online.
'Ok this is insane though,' one wrote on X.

'One of One,' another chimed in.
'Still the GOAT!,' a third added.
The league has brought golf into the 21st century with its use of technology, as players hit onto a massive 64 feet wide, 53 feet high simulator screen to register their distance and position.
Things then move to the shortgame area to hole out, with only one team winning a point for the hole.
With creators Woods and McIlroy watching on from the stands, the first match-up saw the likes of Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler and Matt Fitzpatrick taking on Shane Lowry, Ludvig Aberg and Wyndham Clark.
And the latter's The Bay Golf Club earned a commanding 9-2 win over New York Golf Club in the league debut.
ESPN will air the tournament every Tuesday night, with six teams vying for the SoFi Cup.
Woods' Jupiter Links make their debut next Tuesday against Tommy Fleetwood and Collin Morikawa's Los Angeles Golf Club.
McIlroy's Boston Common make their first appearance at the end of January, taking on Woods in a blockbuster matchup.
