Tiger Woods apologizes after sexist joke at Genesis Invitational

On Thursday, on the 9th hole of the first round of the Genesis Invitational, Tiger Woods approached his opponent Justin Thomas, whom he had just passed on the drive, and slipped a tampon into his hand while laughing . This gesture provoked many reactions from observers, like the columnist of USA Today Christine Brennan : “Woods’ message to Thomas was obvious. It’s been the guideline of silly and often insecure boys for generations: you play like a girl. »

At the end of the second round on Friday, the former world No. 1 apologized: ” If I hurt anyone in any way, I’m sorry. It was not my intention. It’s just that we joke around all the time. Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas are close friends who regularly play together in Florida where they both reside.
