VIDEO: Tiger Gets Spooked By Fans at PGA Championship

8-7-2013 8-08-17 AMLet's face it; Tiger Woods is not the most fan-friendly golfer on the planet.

I know what you're thinking: "Come on Tiger, that fence barely moved! Now you just psyched out a bunch of fans waiting to meet you."

Normally I would agree with you on that, but consider the situation from Tiger's point-of-view. He already doesn't love signing autographs for fans, but he was willing to take some time and appease a handful. Then the only thing separating him from about 2000 fans -- the fence barrier -- started to fall. Things could have gotten really ugly.

I especially love the "Noooope." reaction from Woods after the fence started to move. Not worth the risk, man.
