The 2019 Masters was where Tiger Woods became a major champion again after an 11-year wait.
But things nearly went pear-shaped in the second round of the tournament, as an accidental sliding tackle from an on-course security guard left him hobbling up towards the green.
Woods found himself in the left rough on the 14th hole, forcing him to hit an audacious approach shot through a sea of branches.
When he did just that with a spectacular swing, the nearby patrons roared with excitement and scrambled to follow Woods on his walk back to the fairway.
That sparked an equally frantic reaction from members of the security team, who were called into action to keep the crowds away from Woods.
And as one of them ran over towards the 15-time major champion, he slipped on the grass and slid into his ankle.
Woods did not say anything or even acknowledge the fallen security guard as he jolted his foot into the air and limped away. To everyone’s relief, the American shook off the issue and sunk a long putt for birdie.
