Tiger Woods in bizarre prank on Justin Thomas

Tiger Woods was back in action last night at the Genesis Invitational, his first regular PGA Tour event since 2020.

However, it wasn’t Tiger’s impressive play that got people’s attention. The 15-time major champion might have shot a two-under-par round of 69, but it was a joke on the ninth hole that had viewers talking.

After outdriving his 29-year-old playing partner on the ninth hole, Woods handed him a Tampax branded tampon. 

The pair, who were playing with Rory McIlroy, are good friends, and laughed while walking down the fairway.

The episode garnered a mixed response on Twitter…

Others, however, were less impressed with the stunt.

Woods finished his round with three consecutive birdies to sit in a tie for 27th, five shots behind the lead of Max Homa and Keith Mitchell. He’ll get back underway in his second round at 3.24pm UK time.
