Tiger Woods’ behaviour has been criticised as “crass” and “disappointing” after he handed Justin Thomas a tampon during the opening round of the Genesis Invitational on Thursday.

Woods was grouped with Thomas and Rory McIlroy at Riviera Country Club as the 15-time major champion returned to competitive golf for the first time in seven months, having last played at July’s Open Championship at St Andrews.

The 47-year-old was able to outdrive both of his younger opponents on occasions at the Los Angeles course, and on the ninth hole, Woods hit it further than Thomas and then handed him a tampon as the pair walked towards their second shots.

Thomas, the world No 7, took the tampon before quickly dropping it on the floor, after which the pair could be seen laughing and embracing.

Neither Woods or Thomas were asked about the incident in their post-round interviews.

  1. This proves Marxists have no room for jokes. They are very very serious people. Absurd. Not sure if this woman is aware, but women are physically inferior to men. It's called science. That's what makes it funny. It's true. If it wasn't it wouldn't even make sense. Understand how humor works. It makes fun of difficult truths. Marxist ideology is so dangerous, the associated propaganda requires such a dishonest world view it's maddening

  2. This lady "Sarah" needs to keep her mind out of this prank…..who cares what he did. It's a prank between two guys, and they were playing with each other and had a good laugh. She's a reporter who now has to stick her nose into everything and provide her biased remarks and say "i'm offended about this about that about this about that and he/she NEEDS to apologize". If you are really going to do this, stay home and stay under your bed covers while drinking warm from a bottle…. this world is becoming waaaaay tooo soft…

  3. Who gives a s*** about what the world says, this is hilarious. We should all be appreciative of Tiger even being out there playing golf. Everyone always has an opinion of what’s right and wrong. Live a little and enjoy yourself. Keep your opinions to yourself. This is great fun!

  4. It’s a joke! Legit can’t get away with anything these days.

    If you’re offended by this then you have other, more important problems in your life to deal with

  5. At least it was in the wrapper;-) Maybe the loser has to smoke it like a cigar😊

  6. This lady is a hypocrite she is offended by what Tiger did but she isn't offended what little kids are exposed to in the schools

    Their agenda is for boys & girls to be the same

  7. A wee bit thin skinned on the response innit? I mean, 'Sat all you have to be concerned with you know what I mean. Let boys be boys innit.

  8. People are so sensitive now in days you can't even joke wit ur friends. Smh. This had nothing to do with that lady saying she was disappointed in the prank. Kick rocks.

  9. Oh, yeah. And they have these starting places on 99% of golf courses in the world. What are they called?? Lemme think. Oh, yeah.

    Ladies Tees

  10. Couldn't agree more! Good for you girl! We've come too far too fall into these pitfalls of social and sexual differences! Everyone is equal! Just this morning my 5 year old wanted breakfast and I almost made it for him, then I thought better and remembered, EVERYONE IS EQUAL!!!

  11. So it was crass, insensitive, and 'Blokey'… it was a joke, get over it. Women are not inferior to men (in superhero movies)…

  12. This story is a reach to say the least. Two men making a joke, don’t like it, don’t watch. He should have never apologized

  13. This was absolutely hilarious and anyone to uptight and offended can pound sand. Good grief some leftist are way to delicate.

  14. No woman will ever be able to compete equally against men in golf.

    So what tiger did is perfectly correct.

  15. "We want equality for men and women in sports"……yet they have a sperate tee for women and men at all golf courses……get over yourself people it was a f*cking joke between friends 🤦🏻‍♂️

  16. Yet another example where media today do not represent the majority of us. It's why so much related to mainstream media is in a state of decline. A simple joke that 100% of men understand and most women but the media needs to seek out that one person and give them abundant air time.

  17. Boys will be boys but All sports sciences prove that they are inferior so I don’t understand your point we have to lie to them?

  18. I don't see anyone being mad at dylan maulvany handing tampons by the thousands and he's a man

  19. Close your eyes if you're offended! It's not like he handed it to you to stop your bloody mouth from flowing more ridiculousness!

  20. That’s why the women have their own league. Because they can’t be compared to men.

  21. I hope tiger writes a book about "tampongate" Woke liberals have officially lost their minds…

  22. it was funny. in golf, you can even say, you've dropped your tampon!! My Mom used to say that in ladies 4 balls!! This world is become pathetic

  23. Sensitive peeps need to cope and shouldnt use social media bitchin on such trivial matters

  24. How is saying women don’t drive the ball as far (which is generally true) also saying that women are inferior?

  25. "this sais to me women are inferior to men". When it comes to driving the ball a long distance, yes. It's an undeniable fact that men drive the ball longer than women on average.
    What's the problem?

  26. The JOKE, was basically calling him a fanny, he can't hit the ball as far as him, as he is the older out of the 2 people..

  27. It’s not your job to judge tiger woods and bang on about it it’s about time sky spots sacked you for your judgmental attitude

  28. The most embarrassing bit about all this was when Sky trying to whip up anti Tiger Woods agenda by having every female footballer crying about this incident. What an absolute joke.

  29. But women drive farther up the fairway…… It’s not an opinion it’s a fact otherwise let women drive from the same spot
