Tiger Woods: TGL gaffe 'one of the most embarrassing moments'

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.

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