BOD exposes England legend’s antics that almost ruined his relationship with Tiger Woods
Brian O’Driscoll’s time at the top of Irish rugby has brought him encounters with some of the world’s greatest athletes and a collection of memorabilia, but few have generated as much excitement as the famous putt he made ahead of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy in 2019. .
But while O’Driscoll’s 25-foot putt may have brought a smile to Tiger Wood’s face, the antics of O’Driscoll’s playing partner had the opposite effect. Referee Mick records Tadhg Byrne’s frustrated exchange after a Munster try was disallowed against Leinster

The incident occurred during the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, when Brian O’Driscoll and three other rugby players, including Mike Tindall, were paired with Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Hideki Matsuyama, who were also in Japan playing in the skins game.
O’Driscoll and Tindall were paired with the world-famous golfer for just one hole in the RWC promotion, but they had plenty of time to shine and caused plenty of upsets.

Brian O\’Driscoll reveals Mike Tindall\’s antics nearly ruined hole of golf with Tiger Woods
While Brian O\’Driscoll\’s exploits sinking a sensational 25-foot putt in front of the golf\’s greatest-ever player has been well-documented, little has been made of the playing group\’s antics in the aftermath, which nearly cost Tiger Woods a prized possession.
Speaking on Mark Moriarty\’s podcast Roasted, O\’Driscoll revealed how former England star Mike Tindall nearly walked off with Tiger Wood\’s prized ball marker. Then Mike Tyndall – Tiger scores the ball, Tyndall picks up the quarterback, puts the ball down and puts it in his pocket, Tyndall misses, Tiger looks down to see where the marker is, and it’s not there, so he pitches the ball up and makes a 12 or 13 foot putt, and they head off to the next tee and we all say our goodbyes. Then Tiger’s manager, Mark Steinberg, walked up to Matt Dawson (Tindall’s former teammate) and said, “Dawson, you don’t talk to your old teammates, the play he took from Tiger is the room he used within 15 minutes of that major tournament. Tindall was so clumsy he was lucky he didn’t have pockets full of pennies.”
In Mike Tindall’s defense, in the normal sense, a quarter of the income of a professional golfer and a British rugby star and a member of the royal family amounts to a pretty small percentage. But for Tiger Woods, his favorite ball marker is obviously worth more than 25 cents, because just a few months ago, the American made the greatest comeback in sports by winning the Masters in the same quarter.
It seems unlikely that Tiger will win big again, but fortunately, he will still have a reliable ball scorer to test him on.
