Terrifying Footage Shows Tornado Rolling Through Tiger Woods’ Course
An extreme weather warning was issued in the area after a tornado formed but no injuries were reported


A tornado swept through midwestern United States on May 13 and hit Payne’s Valley, the golf course designed by Tiger Woods and his TRG Design team.
Footage was captured of the tornado rolling over the course and towards the clubhouse as people scrambled to take cover.
Thankfully, there have been no reports of any injuries in the area, while the course also appears to have survived unscathed.
This is absolutely insane. A tornado hit Payne’s Valley golf course. (Tiger Woods design at Big Cedar in Missouri.)You staying in your golf cart to record this video? Honestly, I probably would. Too insane to miss. pic.twitter.com/ccZm8Fr2anMay 13, 2024
Payne’s Valley was opened in 2020 and is renowned for having perhaps the most memorable 19th hole in the world.
Woods teamed up with Justin Thomas to take down Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose in the Payne’s Valley Cup to officially unveil the course, with the par-3 19th grabbing the headlines.
Named “The Rock”, the hole is cut into the mountain and has an island green.
It’s a par-72 layout that can play as long as 7,370 yards off the back tees and features drastic elevation changes and large green complexes.

Woods is in Louisville, Kentucky this week for the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club.
He lifted the Wanamaker Trophy here back in 2000 after beating Bob May in an aggregate three-hole playoff but hasn’t played since he faded over the weekend at The Masters in April.
The 15-time Major champion is scheduled to speak to the media today at 12pm local time (5pm BST).

A lifelong golf fan, Andy graduated in 2019 with a degree in Sports Journalism and got his first role in the industry as the Instruction Editor for National Club Golfer. From there, he decided to go freelance and now covers a variety of topics for Golf Monthly.
Andy took up the game at the age of seven and even harboured ambitions of a career in the professional ranks for a spell. That didn’t pan out, but he still enjoys his weekend golf at Royal Troon and holds a scratch handicap. As a side note, he's made five holes-in-one and could quite possibly be Retief Goosen’s biggest fan.
As well as the above, some of Andy's work has featured on websites such as goal.com, dailyrecord.co.uk, and theopen.com.
What's in Andy's bag?
Driver: Callaway Mavrik Sub-Zero (9°)
3-wood: TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus (15°)
Driving iron: Titleist U500 (17°)
Irons: Mizuno mp32 (4-PW)
Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM9 (50°, 54° and 58°)
Putter: Titleist Scotty Cameron Newport 2.5
