Sky Sports Presenter Iona Stephen’s Embarrassing Encounter with Tiger Woods: From Putter to Trousers

Sky Sports presenter Iona Stephen had a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with golf legend Tiger Woods that left her red-faced and mortified. Stephen, a well-known voice for golf fans, was invited to a promotional event in London where she had the opportunity to meet Woods and even receive a special gift from him.

During the event, Woods, known for his intense focus and competitive nature, was attempting to putt a ball through the legs of Stephen and other Nike athletes on a less-than-ideal putting surface. As the frustration mounted, Woods jokingly asked Stephen if she had any vodka, to which she awkwardly replied, “I really like your trousers.”

Despite the embarrassing exchange, Woods eventually made a putt and generously gifted his putter to Stephen. Ecstatic at the unexpected gift, Stephen was soon approached by a Nike representative who handed her a second gift – Woods’ trousers. Stephen was taken aback by the unexpected gesture and quickly scurried off, now in possession of both Woods’ putter and trousers.

Reflecting on the surreal experience, Stephen shared the story on the Golf Life YouTube channel, admitting that she had never told the story on camera before and was sure she would never live it down. The encounter with Woods, a 15-time major winner, left Stephen with a unique and unforgettable memento from one of golf’s greatest players.

As Stephen continues her career as a presenter, the story of her encounter with Tiger Woods serves as a humorous and memorable moment in her journey through the world of golf.
