The Old Course at St. Andrews is the “Home of Golf” as people have been playing there since somewhere in the 1400s. To celebrate the 150th annual Open Championship, the world’s best are at St. Andrews for the first time since 2015. To win The Open at St. Andrews is something special because of the history and that they don’t play there every year.
Because of that, only the two best have ever won at St. Andrews more than once since 1910. And to celebrate the 150th edition, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods posed for a pic while out on the course.
It all looked normal and it’s a classic pic featuring two of the best until you took notice at the ground. Jack didn’t seem too concerned but Tiger was stepping on Nicklaus’ foot in the pic.

Clearly it was an accident. Tiger might be competitive but he’s not proving a point by stepping on another golf legends’ foot. Nevertheless, social media paid attention and gave their thoughts.
Why’d Tiger standing on Jack’s foot tho? https://t.co/xclKNAr2JC
