In addition to being a fine golfer who is expected to contend for more major titles as well as challenge for the No. 1 ranking, Justin Thomas has provided an excellent public service by giving some optimistic yet cautious updates on the status of Tiger Woods, his friend and neighbor.
The latest came via the "No Laying Up" podcast last week in which Thomas, 28, disclosed that he visits Woods regularly during his off weeks, bringing his puppy to play with Woods' dog while visiting with Tiger's son, Charlie.
"[Tiger is] still his sarcastic a--hole self, so nothing's really changed there,'' Thomas laughed.
