On the "Fairway to Heaven" podcast, Ogletree shared many interesting insights from his career and anecdotes, recalling moments with Tiger Woods during the 2020 Masters. He had a memorable duel with Woods and stressed how the legendary golfer approached him. The popular golfer, likely the biggest name in the sport, managed to make Ogletree laugh with his comments.
Ogletree went on to share a memorable experience from that year, mentioning that it was the time when Tiger Woods made a ten on the 12th hole. After finishing his round, Ogletree was taken to a cabin near Butler Cabin, where players could have their families present and reflect on the week. While they were all chatting and trying to figure out what was happening, he was brought over to Butler Cabin, and someone gave him a friendly slap on the back.
When he turned around, it was Tiger, who congratulated him. Ogletree thought it was really cool to have that moment. They talked briefly, and Tiger asked how Ogletree's round went. Ogletree, in typical golf style, mentioned missing a few putts and feeling like he could have played better. Then he asked Tiger how his round went, realizing he was in a tough spot given Woods' struggles that day.

Tiger Woods then reacted by asking Ogletree, somewhat surprised that he wasnt aware of Woods' score. Ogletree was taken aback by Woods failure and found it funny in retrospect that he had asked such a question, considering all that Woods has achieved in his career. It highlighted the contrast between their experiences, with Ogletree recognizing the awkwardness of his question given Woods' legendary status in golf.

Woods finished his Masters experience that year in a tie for 38th place, while Ogletree ended up tied for 34th. Interestingly, the winner that year was Dustin Johnson, which was a surprise for many golf fans.

Tiger Woods and his Masters experience
After the first round at the Masters, Tiger Woods immediately pointed out his main issue: putting. He mentioned, "The putts just still arent quite breaking," indicating that while some downhill putts were starting to move, the uphill ones were not. Additionally, the surgery he underwent was a problem for him, likely causing pain and discomfort in his back.
Despite these challenges, the golf legend decided to step onto the course, give it his all, and fight for his place in the golf scene. Woods' struggles at the Masters are a topic that many still discuss today, but considering his numerous achievements, it's almost amusing to focus on it. The situation at the par-three 12th hole is a moment Woods will remember for a long time and will likely never forget.

Despite all the obstacles he faces, the experienced Woods has no intention of quitting golf; he still wants to compete, especially in majors. His presence at tournaments is enough to draw everyone's attention.
It is not known what his intentions are regarding the next season, and what we can expect, but at this moment Woods still has a love for golf and wants to be a part of this sport. This is probably the most important thing both for him and for the fans of this golfer.
