Johnny Manziel has a pretty good life. He’s an NFL quarterback, is getting hall of fame players comparing themselves to him, is sitting courtside supporting LeBron, and most recently is on the cover of Golf Digest.

Wouldn’t you know it, Manziel is an avid golfer. When he was about 10-years-old, Johnny Football was on vacation in Orlando with his family when he heard that Tiger Woods was nearby.

Manziel told Golf Digest what happened when he approached the golfing legend for an autograph.

At that time, Derek Jeter and Tiger Woods were the biggest people in the sports world—in my sports world, anyway. We saw Tiger on the 16th hole and asked for his autograph, and he said to catch him right after the round. I was sitting about 100 yards from the 18th green, and he drove by in a cart and was pulling his hat really, really low. I remember him saying, “No autographs today.”

I was really bitter about it for a day, but today I don’t really think much of it. I’m sure there are stories about me, maybe not in the same fashion, but maybe someone has asked, “Hey, can I take a picture with you?” And I say, “Sure, I’m gonna use the restroom, and I’ll be right back.” Then, something comes up. If I ever run into Tiger at Nike or somewhere, it’ll be a funny story.

Sure, Manziel says it’s funny now, when he’s best friends with Drake and going to Vegas with Rob Gronkowski, but let’s all agree that had to be a tough blow to take when you’re 10.

And what gives, Tiger? Setting a kid up on 16 before crushing his dreams on 18? That’s like winning 14 majors in 10 years and then never winning anything ever again.
