Sky Sports presenter slams 'crass' Tiger Woods tampon prank on PGA Tour rival
Sky Sports presenter Sarah Stirk criticised Tiger Woods for handing Justin Thomas a tampon after outdriving his buddy at the Genesis Invitational.
Sky Sports Golf presenter Sarah Stirk criticised Tiger Woods for his 'sexist prank' on Justin Thomas.
We're sure you've heard by now that Woods decided to discreetly hand Thomas a tampon after outdriving his buddy on the ninth hole at Riviera.
The moment came during the 47-year-old's first competitive action on the PGA Tour since missing the cut at last July's Open Championship.
Rory McIlroy was also in the star-studded three-ball at the elevated Genesis Invitational which has a bumper prize purse of $20m.
Woods' prank has drawn a mixed reaction on social media, with some describing the 15-time major champ as immature.

Stirk continued:
Woods went on to card an impressive opening round of 3-under 69 on his first non-major since the 2020 ZOZO Championship.
He thrilled crowds with three finishing birdies. He is yet to publicly comment on his joke.
