Tigers Woods’ good fortune appears to be running thin.
Since winning the Masters for his 15th major title in April, he failed to make the cut at the PGA Championship two weeks ago and recently lost a high-stakes poker bet to Oklahoma Thunder star Russell Westbrook in the most brutal way possible.
The loss came during Woods’ charity tournament, Tiger Jam Experience, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas over the weekend. Both Woods (ace-king) and Westbrook (pockets queens) went all-in before the flop.
The five-time Masters champion thought he had Westbrook beat when the first card was an ace – shown on video even jumping out of his seat for a split second. The joy in his face turned to sadness when another queen came out, giving Westbrook the three-of-a-kind and the win.
Woods can only hope he has better luck playing at The Colonial this weekend as he tries to bounce back from his PGA disappointment.
