There are a handful of times in a man’s life where he has to use his sports-watching bullets. Grand finals where your team hasn’t made it to ‘the big dance’ for years, major-championship final rounds in golf, match-ups that have been dubbed “game of the century”, etc, etc. These types of events supersede everything else that could be taking place, like family weddings or that dumb ugly-jumper party you forgot you agreed to attend three months ago.
Tiger Woods makes enormous World Ranking leap off 18th-place finish at Hero World Challenge
The last day of the 2023 Hero World Challenge? Yeah, that isn’t one of them.
And yet, one man boldly (perhaps insanely) believed the final round of the Hero World Challenge was one of these momentous events, which is the only way you could explain the fact he was streaming it during the birth of his first child:

OK, in fairness, we left out the part that Tiger Woods was back in Sunday red and black. But still, it’s not like he was in serious contention. Then again, Woods is always must-see TV whether in contention or not. Was seeing him finish at even-par for an 18th-place finish in a 20-man field worth being possibly banished to the couch for life? Probably not, but we’re not here to judge. Tiger Woods fandom is a different beast. Also, congrats to the happy couple.
