Tiger Woods sparks concerns amongst golf fans as clip from Las Vegas charity poker night goes viral

Tiger Woods has sparked concern among golf fans after a clip from his own charity poker event in Las Vegas went viral on social media.

The 15-time major winner was captured on camera by American professional poker player Phil Hellmuth during his Tiger Jam poker charity event.

Hellmuth had run into Woods at the event, which ran from May 31 to June 1, and the two talked about the 48-year-old’s TGR Foundation.

However, the clip raised eyebrows among golf fans on social media, with some questioning whether he had had too much to drink or was not doing well, but others quickly came to his defense, saying he seemed completely coherent and cheerful.
