All was going well for the 15-time major champion during Thursday’s opening round — his first on Tour since the British Open last July — when a Getty Images photographer captured Woods slipping playing partner Justin Thomas a Tampax tampon after outdriving him on the ninth hole.Many took to social media to criticize Woods, while some also defended him. Former pro golfer turned influencerThe Women’s Global Empowerment Fund didn’t think so, though.
“If I offended anybody in any way, shape or form, I’m sorry. It was not intended to be that way. It was just, we play pranks on one another all the time and virally I think this did not come across that way but between us it was — it’s different.” Woods made the cut in the tournament despite shooting a 3-over 74 on Friday with bogeys on three of his last four holes. He’ll continue on with the conclusion slated for Sunday.
