LOS ANGELES, Feb 18 — Tiger Woods insisted yesterday he didn’t mean to cause offense when he pranked playing partner Justin Thomas by handing him a tampon in the first round of the Genesis Invitational.
The moment, caught by at least one of the bevy of photographers who followed Woods’s first US PGA Tour round in seven months, went viral on social media. Critics were quick to conclude that Woods, having out-driven Thomas at Riviera Country Club’s ninth hole, was denigrating good friend Thomas as “playing like a girl.”
“Yeah, it was supposed to be all fun and games and obviously it hasn’t turned out that way,” Woods said yesterday after a second-round 74 left him in danger of missing the cut.“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’s different.”“Call me woke. Call me a snowflake. Call me ‘offended’. Whatever. But handing another male golfer a tampon is objectively not funny,” one Twitter poster wrote.
