This Tiger Woods Towel Photo From The Back Of A Cop Car Has The Internet Feasting
Did Tiger Woods already give us the meme of the year in April?
Look, there are two sides to this Tiger Woods story.
On the one hand, you have to take it seriously because he could've hurt himself and, more importantly, someone else. He could've killed someone. That's not a joke. I get that.
On the other hand … you do have to laugh. Not at the situation, of course, but at what the situation has provided us. And buddy, after the bodycam footage was released Thursday afternoon, the internet absolutely went WILD with the screenshots.
Two in particular: One of Tiger kneeling with his hat on backwards like a 14-year-old kid still finding his way in middle school. And the other … with Tiger in the back of the cop car with a towel draped over him like Mother Mary.
Two images that could very well define 2026, and I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing. But, it's a funny thing, and we need to laugh today:
Funny is funny, and these Tiger memes are as solid as they come
Yeah, it really is a meme for years to come. Usually it takes a while for a truly generational meme to be born. It has to go through the usual internet stages, and only then will it maybe enter meme lore.
But this Tiger video has really escalated the timeline, because the footage is less than 24 hours old, and it's literally all over my page.
Political people are posting it.
Sports people are posting it.
Betting accounts are using it.
Wall Street accounts are dabbling in it.
Tiger's everywhere right now. I can't get over the towel picture, myself. It's mesmerizing. I know he's just yawning, but it looks like he's screaming at the heavens, and it's just an amazing image. There's no other way to spin it.
Sure, you could say, "This is just so sad to watch," and that's fine. If you want to take the serious route, go ahead. I did last weekend when I wrote that I was done with Tiger the human. I meant it then, and I mean it now. He's just exhausting at this point.
But, that doesn't mean I can't laugh when the internet takes an image and runs with it. I'm not a stiff. Funny is funny, and the Tiger meme of 2026 will be something we look back on for years to come.
