Serena Williams may be the current World No. 1 ranked women’s tennis player but she was advised she was not allowed to take photographs as a spectator at the Honda Classic even if the subject of her snap was former long-time World No. 1 golfer, Tiger Woods.

Williams was spotted following Woods in the later stage of his second round on the PGA National Course at Palm Beach Gardens.

However when Williams, who has won 15 Grand Slam Single titles and one more Major than Woods, was spotted pointing her pink  mobile phone in the direction of Woods, a marshall quickly rushed to her to advise she was not allowed to take photographs during the four rounds of the $6m tournament.

It certainly left the 32-year old Williams with the most bemused look on her face.

She later got onto Twitter to say:-

@serenawilliams

Ok at this Golf tournament. Just saw @TigerWoods I understand NO golf Apparently u can’t take pics. This security for mad and yelled at me

Apparently u can’t take pictures of golfers. In my Defense peeps always take pics of tennis players.

Seconds later, she snapped the photo of Woods anyway.
