Will Zalatoris Was In Awe of Tiger Woods During the PGA Championship

The look-alike of Happy Gilmore’s Caddy, Will Zalatoris is making a name for himself in his recent performances in Majors. He was close to closing his 1st Major win against Justin Thomas but just came up short in the playoff.

Zalatoris is optimistic about the future and feels that he is due to win one soon. The young 25-year-old has embraced his persona on the PGA Tour. Zalatoris got a real feel this past week of what it is like playing behind Tiger Woods and in front of him.

Zalatoris gave us his thought on the experience:

“You’ve heard the vets say, ‘Hey, just don’t watch him, you play your own game,’ and it’s like, ‘Come on, this is the first time I get to see him really play in person and see the crowds… The crowds Thursday-Friday I thought were bigger than Saturday-Sunday, at least in my groups. It was nuts. I played a practice round in front of him Wednesday and it was 35 people deep on hole eight. It was just absurd.”

He went on to say:

“Being able to just appreciate those moments (watching Woods) and kind of just be present and enjoy it, that’s why, to me, I almost had to — it almost felt like I have imposter syndrome where I look back on it and go, ‘Wait, you were in a playoff for the PGA Championship?'”
