The ex-salesman, Rich Beem, who took down Tiger Woods after two bottles of beer
Twenty years ago, nobody saw this comingWoods, having won six of the last nine available Majors at the time, lost the PGA Championship by one shot to Beem – who was ranked 73rd in the world and 284th at the start of that year.Everybody hates losing, but the reason Woods is walking Southern Hills this week is because he hates it more.
“I needed a little bit of help and I got it from him, but I also played extremely well. He would’ve had to play that much better than me and thankfully he didn’t. Woods knows a thing or two about pain. His career has felt like a series of Everests, some self-inflicted, but all somehow climbed.More than two decades on from the famous ‘Tiger Slam’, we know he is human after all: he makes mistakes and gets injured like one.
Golf is, of course, the closest game to life itself – and Beem’s little jig of relief on the 18th green almost encapsulated that better than a Tiger fist-pump ever could.And how did he slay the greatest golfer of all-time? Easy. Fajitas and two bottles of beer.“As an American, I love myself some Chili’s. Fajitas for two. Queso dip. And they got some of the coldest beer on ice right there.
The LIV Golf Series, a controversial Saudi-backed breakaway league, has put the golf world at war with itself – and controversial comments from Mickelson in February lit the fuse. That brings us to the last thing on anyone’s mind: who is actually going to win this thing? Against a backdrop of chaos, Jordan Spieth could make history.
