The Braves player who once faked an injury to golf with Tiger Woods

One Spring Training early in his career, Jeff Francoeur had a chance to meet Tiger Woods. His manager with the Atlanta Braves, Bobby Cox, wasn't about to let him miss it.

The Braves were scheduled to play the Yankees in a 1 p.m. exhibition game that spring when Cox caught word that Francoeur had to turn down a chance to play golf with the 15-time major championship winner due to Atlanta's game that day.

Francoeur recalled to ESPN's Tim Kurkjian what happened next in hilarious fashion.
