Tiger Woods hits a hands-free putt
At the TW Invitational in the Monterey Peninsula in 2018, Woods and Sammy revealed something spectacular to the world. A fusion of their interests led to the creation of “Sphero”, a robotic ball controlled by a tablet. The two are standing on the green with a big blue ball resting a few yards from the hole.
Following a few instructions from the Stanford student on the tablet, the bullet suddenly comes to life. Plus, Woods just had to stand in front of him as he moved. However, despite rolling towards the hole, he missed. Once again they tried, and this time the ball fell straight into the hole!
