Look who's yipping now.
It might be apropos for Tiger Woods to challenge Josh Scobee to a field-goal kicking contest.
Back in February, the then Jaguars kicker trolled the former No. 1 golfer in the world after Woods withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open after playing just 11 holes because of a strained back, SB Nation reported.

Scobee is a 3.2 handicap golfer and was willing to try his luck against the struggling Woods, who appeared to have the chipping yips. Scobee even offering to give Woods some strokes.
When the Steelers lost kicker Shaun Suisham to a torn ACL in August, they traded a late-round draft pick to the Jaguars for Scobee, who played 11 years in Jacksonville.

Scobee hit 6-of-10 field goals for the Steelers, including just 3-of-7 beyond 40 yards. He also missed one of his seven extra-point attempts.
After missing two field goals in the final four-plus minutes of the fourth quarter Thursday night against the Ravens, coach Mike Tomlin benched him.
"Woods' chipping woes last year became such a thing that Scobee could not help poking fun at the 14-time major champion," SB Nation wrote. "But what goes around comes around, and Scobee's kicking yips went global during Thursday Night Football's nationally televised contest between the Steelers and the Ravens."
The Steelers would've won the game had Scobee made either attempt, from 49 and 41 yards. Instead the Ravens were able to force overtime.
Both Pittsburgh possessions in OT reached inside the Baltimore 40, but Tomlin chose to keep the offense on the field instead of giving Scobee a chance at redemption.

Justin Tucker hit a 52-yard field goal to win it for the Ravens.
Scobee deleted his Twitter account after the game and was subsequently waived by the Steelers.
