When I first saw this video I laughed my ass off & thought about how Tiger Woods just crushed a whole group of people’s dreams of an autograph. Like a boss.
Apparently though, it was a serious situation & Tiger saved what could have turned into something very bad. Check out what happened…

On Monday, during a practice round here at Oak Hill prior to the start of the PGA Championship, Tiger Woods stepped toward a fenced-in area of fans to sign autographs. As he did so, the crowd pushed forward and the fence nearly collapsed.
Woods darted away quickly and flashed a smile. Crisis averted, for both him and the fans.
On Tuesday, however, Woods was asked about the incident and he struck a serious note. He said a girl had fallen in the scrum.
“She was just on the ground crying,” Woods told reporters. “People get so aggressive for autographs. And security is trying to be aggressive to protect the little kids up front. You try and sign, but sometimes the adults start running over the little kids up front, and especially on a fence like that, on a hard fence, it can get dangerous sometimes.”
