Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas
Ace golfer Tiger Woods has opened up on his special bond with another Tour star from The United States of America, Justin Thomas. The duo recently met at the 2021 PNC Championship at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Fla.
Tiger is almost 18 years senior to the 2017 and 2020 PGA Player of the Year. Interestingly, the Californian golfer had won 14 of his 15 major titles by the time Thomas began his professional journey. However, they developed a strong relationship over the years and never shy away from expressing this in front of the media.
The 28-year-old golfer also used to share all the latest health updates on Woods’ road to recovery after last year’s fatal car accident. In one of his recent interviews, Thomas said:
“He’s still his sarcastic a-hole self, so nothing’s really changed there. So I’m glad to see he’s as chipper as always.”
