Tiger Woods gives Justin Thomas grief over scary tee shot at Players

AUSTIN, Texas – Even from a hospital bed across the country, Tiger Woods was the predictable perfectionist.

“[Woods] told me that I toed my tee shot on 18 [at The Players Championship], which I didn't. I hit it right in the middle, I just overturned it a little bit,” Justin Thomas said Monday from the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. “But he's adamant that I toed it. But I made sure to remind him that I didn't. It was right where I needed to be.”

Woods’ critique came a day after Thomas won the PGA Tour’s flagship event and a day before Tiger traveled home to South Florida for the first time since he was involved in a single-vehicle crash in Los Angeles on Feb.
