JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee found out Thursday that a sense of humor and Twitter don't mix.

Scobee jokingly challenged Tiger Woods on Twitter to a skins match at San Jose Country Club in Jacksonville -- for $100,000 a hole -- and offered to give him two strokes a side.

begin inline 1 end inline 1

Quote:

Josh Scobee        ✔ @JoshScobee10 Follow

Tiger- meet me at San Jose Country Club tomorrow, $100,000 a hole. You get 2 a side.

6:54 PM - 11 Feb 2015

He didn't tag Woods in the tweet and followed it up with another tweet in which he said he meant to text that to Woods.

$100,000 a hole might get Phil's attention

ESPN article claims Scobee is a +3.  Scobee might be able to take a couple holes.

Stupid question: how does the two strokes a side get allocated in common gambling? Does it go by handicap numbers on the card or is it player's choice?

The strokes are allocated on the 2 lowest hcp holes per side.

....and if I had the cash, I'd back Tiger on this one!

3-Wood: Titleist 910F;  15* Diamana Kai'li

Handicap. You would get a stroke on the #1, 2, 3, and 4 handicap holes. Edit: David beat me to it.

Yeah, playing to a +3 on a country club course is not the same as playing from the tour tips on a PGA tour conditions course. I think it would be hilarious if Tiger showed up, wearing a red shirt, with Joe Lacava on his bag and said he was ready to go.

I think Tiger would win this by a few holes, at least, and then he should donate the money to a worthy cause.

It would be cool if he won and went to a Jags game next year on the sidelines and waved the money at him when he attempted a fg.

Just like everything else with the Jaguars, it would be a losing proposition.

Hahaha, this made me chuckle.

I would have loved to see Tiger take this bet, if he wins, donate the cheese to the TW foundation.

I'd have laughed if TW came back with some tweet offering $100k if the Jags win over 4 games in 2015.

A bit of a low blow from Scobee in my opinion. As a professional athlete, he should know not to poke at somebody during a slump.

He's a kicker.  Athlete is a stretch.

Dude. Google Steve Weatherford, haha. I'd call him an athlete. I'd also call him "sir," just to be safe.

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html

      Playing Arrowhead Colorado for the First Time

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      I am playing Arrowhead for the first time and I am pumped.  What are some things that I need to make sure and appreciate, for those that have played it before and love it? It has been a pretty dry winter so I am expecting rough to be forgiving which is nice and it will be playing much easier than it does in the late summer (I am assuming based on other colorado courses).  What should I make sure to not miss?
