Even the greatest athletes in the world were captivated by Tiger Woods’ Sunday run at the PGA Championship.
After winning his match on Sunday to capture the Rogers Cup in Toronto, Rafa Nadal turned his attention to Woods. Cameras focused on Nadal scrolling through and surveying his phone. He then revealed that he was trying to get a Tiger update from the PGA Championship, where Woods made a spirited run to solo second place.
“I’ve got to check on Tiger!”

Woods has often been seen at tennis events, watching Nike buddies Roger Federer (no longer primarily sponsored by Nike) and Nadal. Woods and his children watched from Nadal’s box during the 2017 U.S. Open and Nadal was on hand at the 2017 Hero World Challenge, when Woods made his return from back surgery.
For the record, Woods has 14 major wins and Nadal has 17 Grand Slam titles, both second all-time in their respective sports.
Check out the video below as Golf World’s Anna Whiteley talks to Nadal about his love of golf in the 2016 interview.
