Golf Sensation Known As 'Wider Woods' Is Taking Over The Internet

Tiger Woods is clearly done. Guy can't play 72 holes to save his life anymore, and that's fine. He did his time in the public spotlight. 

Luckily, we don't need him anymore. Big Cat is old news. Now, we have an ever bigger cat. A huge cat. A freaking Siberian Tiger, which Google tells me is the largest cat in the world. 

Meet Wider Woods – the golf sensation who's currently taking over the internet on Taylor Swift Album Release Day. 

Good! Take that, Taylor. We're #TeamWider over here at OutKick, especially David Hookstead, who hated your stupid album while listening to it at 5 a.m. this morning. 

And if you haven't met Wider Woods yet, you're missing out. Here's a sample:

Who is Wider Woods?

Just nuke after nuke off the tee, 50-foot putts finding the cup like a tap-in, and a backwards chip that I promise you, even Tiger himself couldn't pull off. 

What a specimen. I know Joe wrote about Wider Woods in Screencaps this morning, but sometimes – when things are larger than life – they deserve their own space. 

Wider Woods deserves his own space. I can't think of a better way to start my weekend. 

Now, I don't know much about Wider Woods. He's somewhat of a mystery on the internet. I do know, however, that he's apparently not had the greatest few weeks. 

According to Wider himself, he was set to go in for some sort of procedure last month. He announced that on TikTok, while also saying he was soon gonna be "Slimmer Woods," so I assume it was some sort of weight-loss deal. 

Making matters worse, he apparently had a pretty serious situation while in the hospital, according to podcast partner, John Weekly. And by serious, I mean he went into cardiac arrest for 20 minutes, which doesn't sound ideal. 

That's the bad news. The good news? Wider pushed through and came out unscathed, according to this below YouTube video a few weeks later. 

The podcast – called Drain Bamage Golf – does offer a little more insight into Wider and John. According to the description, it started because the two golf pals had brain surgery recently and are working their way back to the top. 

According to their Instagram, which I of course can't share here because that no longer works at OutKick apparently, their "long term goal would be to do a four-man scramble with Tiger Woods and John Daly."

Can't think of a better foursome, frankly. Not sure anyone would stand a chance again Wider, though. 

Electric. 

Get well soon, Wider! Need you back on the course by Memorial Day.
