Nick Dougherty, Wayne Riley and Andew Coltart are among those to feature in golf's studio fails.

McIlroy memorably threw his club into the lake in anger during the WGC-Cadillac Championship, while Woods' former caddie Steve Williams dropped one of his into water after a costly slip.

Garcia found the water five times on one hole to see his Masters title defence come to an abrupt finish in 2018, while Jean van de Welde's trip into the Barry Burn proved costly in his bid win to win The Open at Carnoustie in 1999.

Dame Laura Davies' putter launch and a spectator's trip into water for a broken club also feature, as does Woody Allen's costly slip at the Presidents Cup and plenty of other comical memories.
