Tiger Woods returned to action on Thursday at Riviera for the first time since The Open Championship in July, and the legendary golfer got to play with two of his closest friends. Woods played the round with Justin Thomas and Rory McIlroy, allowing the three to have some fun throughout the round.
While Woods’s entire round with Thomas and McIlroy was scrutinized, one moment in particular caught viewers attention. On the ninth hole, Woods outdrove Thomas, which clearly meant a lot to the 47 year-old. Woods was caught giving something to Thomas as the two walked down the fairway, and viewers noticed that it appeared to be a tampon.
However, some viewers did not appreciate what Woods did and expressed their criticism on social media.
Woods has had to battle so many injuries over the past few years, from his back issues to his leg injuries to just general age concerns. It is tough for him to play a full 18 holes, let alone outdrive one of the best players in the game.
