"The two-under 69 that Tiger Woods shot Thursday afternoon [16th February 2023] at the Genesis Invitational was the story of the day for about one hour. Then it became background to a viral tweet about what Woods did shortly after teeing off on the 9th hole, for which he apologized on Friday.
In the middle of their first round, Woods outdrove Justin Thomas, who was playing in his group. Then, as they walked up the hole Woods placed a tampon in Thomas’ hand. The moment quickly went viral, thanks to high-resolution photos that captured what Woods had in his hand, incurring a wide array of responses. Part of the crowd championed Woods for his attempt at humor. Another part reviled him for the gendered type of joke he decided to tell.
'Yeah, it was supposed to be all fun and games and obviously it hasn’t turned out that way,' Woods said. 'If I offended anybody, it was not the case, it was just friends having fun'."

Woods has been defended on Twitter by Paige Spiranac, who is described in Wikipedia as a "social media personality, golf instructor, and former professional golfer". According to Wikipedia, "in June 2022, Spiranac was named as the 'Sexiest Woman Alive' in the Maxim's 2022 Hot 100 list": Spiranac defends Tiger
