Tiger Woods’ behaviour has been criticised as “crass” and “disappointing” after he handed Justin Thomas a tampon during the opening round of the Genesis Invitational on Thursday.

Woods was grouped with Thomas and Rory McIlroy at Riviera Country Club as the 15-time major champion returned to competitive golf for the first time in seven months, having last played at July’s Open Championship at St Andrews.

The 47-year-old was able to outdrive both of his younger opponents on occasions at the Los Angeles course, and on the ninth hole, Woods hit it further than Thomas and then handed him a tampon as the pair walked towards their second shots.

Thomas, the world No 7, took the tampon before quickly dropping it on the floor, after which the pair could be seen laughing and embracing.

Neither Woods or Thomas were asked about the incident in their post-round interviews.
