Josh Scobee teases Tiger Woods

— -- JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee found out Thursday that a sense of humor and Twitter don't mix.

Scobee jokingly challenged  Tiger Woods on Twitter to a skins match at San Jose Country Club in Jacksonville -- for $100,000 a hole -- and offered to give him two strokes a side.

He didn't tag Woods in the tweet and followed it up with another tweet in which he said he meant to text that to Woods.

Not surprisingly, the tweet went viral, and -- even though it was meant as a joke -- some people came after Scobee pretty hard on social media.

Scobee, appearing Friday on The Midday 180 in Nashville, said he thought of the tweet while in line at Chick-fil-A and fired it off without much thought.

"Obviously it was a complete joke," Scobee said.

Asked Friday whether he could have handled losing all 18 holes to Woods at $100,000 a hole, Scobee said he'd have been just fine, joking that he would have been crying and might have been divorced.

"But I'd have been OK," he said.

Scobee, a plus-3 handicap who attempted to qualify for the U.S. Open in 2010, is entering the final season of a four-year, $13.8 million contract.

Woods announced Wednesday that he was taking an indefinite break from golf because the shape of his game is not acceptable. That announcement followed his career-worst round of 82 in the second round of the Phoenix Open and his withdrawal after 11 holes at the Farmers Insurance Open last week.

Scobee just completed his 11th season with the Jaguars and holds franchise records in scoring (1,022 points), field goals (234) and field goal accuracy (80.97 percent). He also has 26 field goals of 50 or more yards, including a 59-yarder to beat Indianapolis in 2010.
