VIDEO: Tiger Woods Reveals Unbelievable Fact About Number of Career Holes-in-One
By Mark Powell
If you're not watching the 2019 Masters replay, you're spending your Easter Sunday the wrong way. In helping Jim Nantz narrate his incredible journey to winning yet another Green Jacket, Tiger Woods is giving us a behind-the-scenes look at his strategy, as well as some previously-unknown facts about his game. After an impressive shot at the 16th hole to set up a birdie, Nantz asked Woods how many holes-in-one he's ever had, whether it be nationally televised or in practice. The answer, while impressive, managed to surprise us all.

20 alone is a great number, even for a professional. The odds are seemingly a million-to-one, and despite the amount of golf Woods has played over the years at an exceptionally high level, there's an unexpected amount of luck involved in finding the hole on his first shot off the tee.
You know what’s gonna happen don’t you? After Tiger wins this thing, he’s going to show up in the double box with Nantz wearing the green jacket.

It’s going to be cheesy. Really cheesy. And he ain’t gonna be wearing the red shirt.
Nothing will replace the 2020 Masters, but Tiger's version of the events of the previous year is coming as close as humanly possible during these tough times without sports.
