Tiger Woods divulges what he thinks is his greatest-feeling career shot

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.

Woods told CNN’s “Living Golf” that his greatest shot in his career is the 3-iron he hit out of a fairway bunker on No. 18 at Hazeltine National in the second round of the 2002 PGA Championship.

“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.”

Woods didn’t win the Wanamaker Trophy that week. Rich Beem shocked the world to win his only major title. However, the 14-time major winner delivered an all-time great recovery shot.
