Tiger Woods managed to stir some controversy in his life once again when he handed golfer Justin Thomas a tampon during the Genesis Invitational in Los Angeles back in 2023. The two men chuckled during the viral moment, but for some critics, it wasn’t a laughing matter. Now, whether or not Woods handed Thomas the tampon as part of a prank or even a bet is unclear, but golf fans think it was because Woods outdrove his opponent during the game. The handoff might have suggested that Woods thought Thomas was “playing like a girl.”
The tampon exchange ruffled a lot of feathers as some critics believed it was offensive to women. One critic even took to X (formerly Twitter) to write, “Dereliction of duty by golf journalists not to ask Woods about the ‘tampon’ incident…it was crass, juvenile & unacceptable will @PGATOUR have the courage to fine him? I doubt it but a full & genuine apology from @TigerWoods for his disgusting behavior would be a start.”
Another critic added, “If Tiger Woods knew anything about women, he’d know that a tampon is a sign of m**********g strength bc let’s see you endure bleeding and cramps and breast pain and back pain and bloating and migraines & acne 12 times a yr for 3-5 days for 40 yrs, Tiger. Ok?” Because so many people were offended by the tampon hand off, Woods was forced to speak out about it.
