Tiger Woods was once prevented from fulfilling an obscene fan request by a security guard.
However, the 15-time major winner admitted the interaction remains the funniest thing he has heard on a golf course during his career.

The 48-year-old told Bleacher Report: “A female had asked me to sign something.
“Then the security guard told her to ‘put that away’, and nothing happened.”
Woods has continued to search for a 16th major championship this year despite his injury woes in recent years.
He missed the cut at the US Open, Open Championship and PGA Championship, though.
The American was able to make the cut at the Masters in April but finished 60th overall come the weekend.
Woods will be hoping for a better result as he looks to make a return to the course this weekend.
He revealed last week he plans to appear in the Father/Son PNC Challenge in Orlando.
It comes just three months after Woods underwent back surgery.
In a statement released last week, he explained: “I’m very excited to head back to the PNC Championship next week with Charlie.
“Playing together is something we look forward to and it’s always more special when you’re surrounded by friends and family.”

Woods and his son Charlie finished tied for fifth last year, with Bernhard Langer and his son Jason winning the event.
The pair have never won the tournament but did finish as runners-up behind John Daly and his son John II in 2021.
This weekend’s edition of the event will mark Woods’ first competitive round since the Open Championship in July.
Players must have won a major or Players’ Championship to compete in the two-person scramble tournament.
Woods’ partnership with Charlie echoes his relationship with his late father Earl.
From a young age, Earl taught Tiger to block out unhelpful feelings to the point where he didn’t feel them anymore.

Asked about his father’s methods, Tiger once said: “He’d never push me over the edge. He’d take me right up to the breaking point – and then he’d back off.
“Eventually it would take more, and then more, and then more, and then more… finally to the point where it didn’t bother me anymore.”
Earl sadly passed away in May 2006, two months before his son’s famous Open Championship triumph at Royal Liverpool.
It was an emotional victory for Woods, who repressed the sadness of his father’s death as he plotted his way through the weekend.
After securing victory on the Sunday, the world finally saw Woods cry as he finally released his emotions on the 18th green.
