This story about Tiger Woods at a Scottish music festival is INCREDIBLE!

There are plenty of things that are hard to imagine.

The sight of Tiger Woods running around at a music festival in Scotland and getting into trouble with security is particularly difficult.

And yet that’s exactly what one contributor to a national radio station claims to have seen.

Identified only by their Twitter moniker ‘Chameleon’, the person contacted The Afternoon Show on BBC Radio Scotland earlier today as part of a special feature celebrating the 30th anniversary of T In The Park.

One of the world’s biggest music festivals, T In The Park ran from 1994 until 2016. It spent its first three years at Strathclyde Park near Glasgow before moving to the disused Balado airfield in Perth and Kinross in 1997.

It was there, in 1999, that ‘Chameleon’ claims to have seen the then 23-year-old Woods – a one-time major champion, ten-time PGA Tour winner, and reigning world No.1 – letting his hair down.

Host Nicola Meighan read out the message from the mononymous contributor…

“I was waiting for Massive Attack to come on in ‘99,” they wrote. “A few folk recognised a young guy in a baseball cap in front of the stage, so he ran along high-fiving a bunch of them.

“He took his eye off what he was doing and clattered a security guy right on the napper. His face dropped in fear as he thought he was going to get clattered by the bouncer. The young fella was Tiger Woods.”

Yes, we know. This does sounds like one of those classic internet urban legends.

So, let’s do some fact-checking before we go any further.

Massive Attack did indeed play T In The Park in 1999, on Sunday, July 11, to be precise, slap-bang in the middle of James and Manic Street Preachers.

So, that part is true.

The same weekend, the Standard Life Loch Lomond took place at Loch Lomond Golf Club. However, that concluded on the Saturday and Woods didn’t feature, nor did he play in the corresponding PGA Tour event that weekend, the Greater Milwaukee Open.

The following week, of course, The Open Championship took place at Carnoustie, in which Woods did feature. He finished tied seventh as Paul Lawrie won the Claret Jug. So, it’s possible he came over to the UK early to take in some music.

Trouble is, there’s no photographic evidence of him. This was obviously before camera phones existed and there’s nothing on popular picture sites, such as Getty Images, to place him at the festival.

So, in the absence of anything else to substantiate the claims, we’re forced to go public with a question to the man himself.

Dear Tiger Woods… were you there?
