Woods, McIlroy take awkward photos at Abu Dhabi Championship

Found January 15, 2013 on Sportress of Blogitude: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Tiger Woods,  Rory Mcilroy

Via Sportress of Blogitude:

Tiger Woods and his newly minted Nike Golf protégé, Rory McIlroy, shared an awkward moment while making a boatload of cash for appearing at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship in the United Arab Emirates.

During some amusingly conceived photo-op, Woods and McIlroy, who were paired together in the first round of the tourney, are poured a drink from an ornate carafe. But what occurred next is what truly merits a good chuckle.

Ha. How romantic. The act of locking arms and then tipping back a drink is something one normally sees happening at a wedding between bride and groom, not at some event to kick off a golf tournament. Nevertheless, it is a sight to behold.

Cheers, Tiger. Cheers, Rory. Bottoms up. Tip ‘em back and enjoy.
