Sebastian Korda meets Tiger Woods at golf event

Rising American tennis star Sebastian Korda spent the weekend at a golf event with his family, and was fortunate enough to meet golf legend Tiger Woods.

Sebastian's sister, Nelly, is currently ranked No.1 on the LPGA Tour and was invited to compete at the PNC Championship alongside her father, 1998 Australian Open champion Petr Korda. According to reports, Nelly walked up to Woods and asked to take a picture with him, along with her father and brother.

When Nelly introduced Tiger to “Sebi”, Woods quickly produced a friendly quip: “What’s up big guy? Aren’t you supposed to be practicing?”

“Meeting Tiger was unbelievable. He was so nice,” said Sebastian. “He's probably our family’s favorite athlete. Any time he would play a tournament, we were all glued to the TV.”

The Korda Family finished 12th (-17) at the event, during which Sebastian caddied six holes for his father during the first round.

“I had the easy job. I only caddied six holes on the back nine and Nelly's caddy Jason [McDede] was helping me out,” Sebastian said. “I’ve never been inside the ropes during the tournament and was really cool to hear what they talk about before each and every shot.“
