Tiger Woods has delivered so many awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping moments on the golf course that it’s really hard to lock down on a good top five, or even top 10, shots in his career. However, Woods has been there for all of them, and he’s got his favorite.

“That was the greatest feeling shot I’ve ever hit in my life,” Woods said.
Woods had an awkward stance in the bunker and needed to hit the shot over a close lip, then over a tree precariously close to the ball flight that only he could put on the ball from the lie.
“The wind was blowing about 25-30 mph off the left,” Woods said. “The lip was in front of me, trees were in front of me, [I had a] downhill lie and somehow I hit it — I don’t know how I hit it that solid, that clean, that flush and drew it up against the wind and held it, landed about 20 feet away.”
