Tiger Woods slammed by women’s group for tampon prank: Misogynistic, tone-deaf

This week hasn’t been Tiger Woods’ best time of the month.

The golf legend was blasted by a women’s empowerment group for a tampon prank Thursday at the Genesis Invitational in what marked his first PGA Tour event in seven months.

Kara Sugar, the CEO of the Women’s Global Empowerment Fund, said Woods’ gag was “misogynistic” and “tone-deaf” and “straight-up disrespectful to women and girls all over the world,” per TMZ.

All was going well for the 15-time major champion during Thursday’s opening round — his first on Tour since the British Open last July — when a Getty Images photographer captured Woods slipping playing partner Justin Thomas a Tampax tampon after outdriving him on the ninth hole.

The gesture suggested that Thomas was playing like a girl.
