As Halloween sweeps through the golf world, some creative costumes are giving fans a good laugh—and one of the best comes from retired golfer Jane Park. Embracing the spooky season, Park shared a Halloween decoration on Instagram that has fans doing a double-take. In a lighthearted tribute to the “GOAT,” she decked out a skeleton to resemble Tiger Woods, complete with Woods’ signature red polo, black pants, and Nike cap, along with a can of beer in hand. “It was a rough night,” Park wrote with a wink, captioning the scene, “Not surprised that Tiger is soldiering on like the mf 🐐 he is.”
The skeleton beside “Tiger,” presumably a fellow party-goer, appeared to have had a little too much Halloween spirit, slumping over in contrast to the “GOAT” still going strong. The clever scene, tucked behind a car, adds a playful twist to Woods’ iconic resilience, something his fans and the golfing community have admired for years.
This isn’t the first time Woods has inspired Halloween costumes. Back in 2018, a young fan donned Woods’ classic Sunday outfit, and fate had a trick—or treat—in store for her. The little girl’s Halloween got a magical twist when she ran into Woods himself, who graciously took a photo with his mini-me. It’s moments like these that show Woods’ enduring charm and influence across generations of fans, especially during Halloween.
Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler, the current World No. 1 and 2024 Masters champion, became the subject of another Halloween parody, courtesy of two young fans. The costume duo on X recreated Scheffler’s viral “arrest” scene from the PGA Championship, where he was detained by Detective Bryan Gillis in a moment that made headlines. One child dressed as Scheffler, complete with inmate #00654436 on display, while the other sported a police costume, cash in hand and a “shh” gesture as they recreated a playful take on the “dirty cop” trope. The tongue-in-cheek homage, shared by NUCLR Golf, is another example of fans’ unique ways to celebrate their favorite golf stars.
As Halloween brings out costumes inspired by golf’s greats, from legends like Woods to current stars like Scheffler, it’s clear that the sport’s impact stretches far beyond the greens. These Halloween tributes are a reminder of the lighthearted fun that keeps the sport relatable and beloved, even in the spookiest of seasons.
