PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Tiger Woods had 199 yards to the hole. His Jupiter Links teammates realized too late that something was dreadfully wrong Tuesday night in a TGL indoor match.

Woods asked to confirm the yardage and heard 99 — caddies often drop the first number when it's obvious. But it apparently wasn't obvious to Woods.

He hit wedge, a perfectly good shot that traveled 100 yards.

ā€œI heard 99 yards, so I went out there and hit it,ā€ the 15-time major champion said after losing the 13th hole against Cameron Young of New York Golf Club.

ā€œOne of the most embarrassing moment in my golfing career just happened,ā€ Woods said on the ESPN telecast, laughing among the disbelief. ā€œI just screwed up. That was embarrassing.ā€

His Jupiter Links teammates, Kevin Kisner and Tom Kim, dropped to the floor laughing.

New York never trailed in a 10-3 victory.
