    Tiger Woods had his poorest performance ever at the Masters tournament last weekend.

    Despite playing like crap, one particular moment from his weekend was all over my timeline.

    It was this picture of him looking like he was shaking hands with a tree:

    In reality, he was shaking hands with legendary broadcaster Verne Lundquist and the camera angle made it look that way.

    Anyway, that was enough for it to turn into a meme.
