Tiger Woods has apologised after he drew criticism for handing a tampon to Justin Thomas during the first round of the Genesis Open on Thursday.
Woods said after his second round on Friday: “Yeah, it was supposed to be all fun and games and obviously it hasn’t turned out that way.
“If I offended anybody, it was not the case, it was just friends having fun. As I said, if I offended anybody in any way, shape or form, I’m sorry. It was not intended to be that way.
“It was just, we play pranks on one another all the time and virally I think this did not come across that way, but between us it’s different.”
