Tiger Woods grins as fan pranks him with infamous police mugshot T-shirt ahead of Masters 2019

The prank took place at the Players Championship earlier this month between the 17th green and 18th tee box at TPC Sawgrass.

Woods, the 14-time major winner, recognised the familiar face staring back at him in the crowd.

As the American made his way through the crowd, Wesling called out to catch Woods' attention.

The usually focused look is lost as 43-year-old Woods grins at the joke.

Wesling posted the video to Twitter and the footage has been viewed more than one million times.

He wrote: "I had Tiger reminiscing about his glory days."

nel: "I knew if I could get any reaction out of it from him, it'd be priceless.
