Tiger Woods has apologised after his tampon prank with Justin Thomas attracted stinging criticism.
The golfing icon has been competing at the Genesis Invitational PGA Tour event, which began on Thursday, with his latest comeback to competitive action attracting plenty of headlines. But, following his opening round, it was his prank with Thomas that attracted all the attention and landed him in hot water.
Paired in a star-studded group with Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas, Woods hit his drive further than Thomas from the tee and he was then seen slipping a tampon into the hand of his friend. Thomas smiled at the prank but many viewers and pundits were left unimpressed by the joke and its connotations.
