Tiger Woods' Caddy Reveals Emotional Admission About Iconic Masters Moment

The Masters begin on Thursday, marking a treasured annual tradition in golf. 

But 2025 will also mark the 20th anniversary of the tournament's most iconic moment: Tiger Woods' hole-out chip on the 16th hole of Augusta National in the final round. 

Woods won the Masters in 2005, clinching his fourth of five green jackets. 

Golf enthusiasts know the shot innately. Woods' ball was on the edge of the second cut of grass around the green — with an upslope angle, no less — making the strategy around executing the shot incredibly difficult. 

Woods pitched the shot up the slope and it broke right and rolled toward the pin and into the hole, setting the crowd and announcers ablaze. 

“In your life, have you seen anything like that?” CBS announcer Verne Lundquist said.  

He gave his patented triumphant celebration, high-fived his caddie, Steve Williams, and picked up the birdie. 

“That was the worst high-five ever,’’ Williams said to the New York Post's Mark Canninzaro this week. “That was on me. I was so excited, so much adrenaline, so much excitement in that moment, the arms and legs were going … and the arms weren’t working right.’’ 

Williams revealed that he didn't prepare for that scenario and he that had the wrong pace-off yardage for Woods.

“I was somewhat embarrassed I hadn’t checked it out, but I had never seen anybody on a Sunday hit it to that pin that far left. 

“The most amazing thing about the shot he played there was when he had a look at the green, he asked if I saw a pitch mark,’’ Williams went on. “Incredibly, he landed the ball right on the pitch mark. It was kind of freakish, really. He could stand there for the rest of his life and hit as many shots as he wanted, and he’d never reproduce that shot.

“It was just an incredible moment.”
