Tiger Woods, during his latest comeback at the Genesis Invitations at Riviera Golf Club in Southern California, the 47-year-old golf veteran out drove the 29-year-old Justin Thomas on the ninth hole.
As a joke, Woods handed what appeared be a tampon to Thomas as a joke.
The two were seen laughing about it after.
The move angered USA Today columnist Christine Brennan, calling the move misogynistic.
“That the game of golf is for men and men alone, including those grown men who apparently still act like teenagers,” Brennan wrote calling out the sexism of the move.
But former golfer turned model and media personality Paige Spiranac called the move “funny.”
“It’s interesting to see women outraged by Tiger slipping JT a tampon after out driving him but those same women will quickly tear me down for how I’ve decided to build my business,” Spiranac wrote in another tweet. “You can’t pick and choose when to be a feminist.”
Spiranac went on to say those that are outraged by the move to come up with a productive solution. She shared hers.
As of Friday afternoon. Woods was tied for 68th and Thomas was tied for 39th.
