Hellmuth bumped into the 48-year-old during the event, which ran from May 31 to June 1, and the two began talking about Woods’ TGR Foundation. The foundation was established in 1996 by Woods and his father as a community-based support program for children in America.

Woods was filmed speaking to Hellmuth about his rewarding project, as he told the poker ace that TGR’s greatest success stems from the stories that kids share after being provided an education through his foundation.

In an unlikely gathering, Hellmuth posted the video of him talking to Woods and gaming streamer Ninja at the event. The poker star began by thanking Woods for hosting the event before he praised the five-time Masters champion.

“I think it’s the stories that kids come back and tell, (they’re) the first generation to ever go to college (in their family), parents said ‘you’d never go to college’, grandparents said ‘you’ll never go to college, it’s useless’,” Woods explained to Hellmuth

“All of a sudden they’re in college flourishing, going to Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Yale and going to amazing places doing amazing things. One of our girls who went through our learning lab early on, she’s one of the directors who landed one of the rovers on Mars.”

However, fans were left confused by the video as some questioned whether the golfer had had too much to drink or if he wasn’t doing well as he slurred his words. One golf fan account wrote: “Can we be real for a second here? Is there nobody close enough to him in his camp that can step in and get him some real help? Somebody in his family? Anyone? No one wants to see him like this. It sucks.”

But others believe that he was simply just enjoying the night by having a few alcoholic beverages. A second added: “Let him enjoy his life. Don’t judge! His foundation is doing fabulous things.” Another joked: “Tiger looks so sauced!!” With a third questioning: “People are upset he’s partying in Vegas? What?”

In 2017, Woods was arrested near his home in Jupiter Island, Florida, for driving under the influence. He eventually pleaded guilty to reckless driving and received a year’s probation – he was not allowed to drink alcohol during the probation time.
