Man, it’s great to see Tiger Woods back out on the golf course.
He made his return back to the PGA Tour last year, after his brutal car wreck back in 2021, where he almost had to get his leg amputated, and was really just lucky that he was able to survive.
However, he made his return last year, and now he’s back out there again, as he’s currently playing in the Genesis Open at Riviera Country Club.
In fact, he’s in contention to advance after he birdied his last three holes to shoot a two-under par 69.
As impressive as his round was yesterday, his score may not have been the best highlight…
On the ninth hole, Tiger outdrove his playing partner Justin Thomas, and he was sure to let him know about it, as he was seen giving Thomas a tampon.

It was obvious that Thomas took the joke, as you could see him laughing about it.
Former pro golfer and current model and influencer Paige Spiranac even shared in a tweet:
“If anyone tries to cancel Tiger over this we riot. It’s funny”

I mean, Thomas is still young and in his prime, and Tiger, who is 47, outdrove him so you gotta let him hear about it… but a tampon?
That’s not gonna go over well in 2023, Tiger…
You already know that people are mad:
So what exactly does Tiger Woods find comical about a tampon? I’m sure all of the 200 women he slept with during his marriage used them…🤔

😡WHY did they think this was funny? WHAT was the purpose of it? HOW are we supposed to remove any stigma around periods and menstrual health if top-level sportsmen are pulling stunts like this & giggling like school boys?😡@thewellhq https://t.co/RvTQKuh9CO

Call me woke. Call me a snowflake. Call me “offended”. Whatever. But handing another male golfer a tampon is objectively not funny. It shows the sophistication of a 14 year old schoolboy. @TigerWoods

I wonder if #TigerWoods got the tampon from one of his mistresses? https://t.co/acjzYMNXPW

Sports commentators laughing, and the fact that Tiger Woods had the tampon in his pocket, ready for the right moment to disrespect women, again 🙄 yeah, I guess Tiger might want to get a refresher on all that therapy he had after his first wife discovered what his other hobby was

Of course, a number of other golf fans thought it was hilarious:
I don't believe people with a functioning brain are actually 'offended' by Tiger Woods handing Justin Thomas a tampon.
It's all manufactured anger for headlines and hate clicks.
If you are offended by it, you need to go outside more.

If you are feeling offended by "Tampon Gate" then have a word with yourself. This world has become soft as shit if you can't have a little laugh with a friend on a golf course where tensions can at times be high. #TigerWoods

This #TigerWoods thing over the tampon I mean come on it’s just banter between 2 mates it’s nowt to do with sexism. If you looking at it that way then you the problem. Is the world getting such a stupid place now that we can’t joke in 2023?

The amount of shite @TigerWoods is getting for a joke between friends is ridiculous. No harm was done. A lot of a people need stop getting offended over nothing! #tigerwoods #tampon

Tiger Woods handing out tampons for out driving Justin Thomas is the type of banter I’m fully on board with. If you’re not, get in the bin 🗑️ 😂😂😂
