Tiger Woods draws mixed response over tampon prank
Tiger Woods has received a mixed reaction after handing Justin Thomas a tampon after outdriving him during the Genesis Invitational. Woods, who was making his return to top-level action for the first time since July, could be seen handing the product to Thomas as they walked off the ninth tee in the first round. Thomas immediately threw it on the floor as Woods could be seen laughing as he put his arm around his playing partner. "If anyone tries to cancel Tiger over this we riot. It's funny," Paige Spiranac, a well-known social media influencer, wrote on Twitter. "I need a LIV vs PGA tour Ryder Cup type event just so Tiger can give Phil (Mickelson) a tampon after out driving him." Others were less impressed with Woods's sense of humour, with renowned sports journalist Rick Reilly writing: "All his humor is gross and tops out at 7th grade." Woods was not asked about the incident following his opening round of 69 at Riviera but the third member of his group, world number two Rory McIlroy, admitted he had not enjoyed being outdriven by the 47-year-old.
