PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas commented on Tiger Woods and his withdrawal from the tournament. "I wouldn't say how tough it was to see him struggle. I mean, he made the cut in his second major in a row, what, a year and a half after being in a gruesome car accident, [with a] broken leg? "I don't think you guys understand how unbelievable that is.
He's a freak of nature. It's mind-blowing the things that he can do with his mind. "I didn't play during his prime, but from the times I've been out here - him winning the Masters in 2019 and winning the TOUR Championship, him making the cut these last two tournaments - for how some of the conditions he was in last year, it's absurd, like beyond absurd."
- he said for skysports. Thomas revealed that he was talking to Woods who decided to joke with him.
"I talked to him a little last night and asked how he was feeling," Thomas said. "And he just said he was feeling terrible because my name kept dropping on the leaderboard.
"So I was like, 'thanks, good to talk to you too, I'll talk to you later.' "
Thomas on Woods
Thomas also revealed that Woods will always find a way to annoy him, but they seem to be good friends and it's all part of the joke.
We hope Woods returns as soon as possible. "I think now I only have like 150 other things to do that he's done to where he can stop giving me grief," Thomas added. "So I guess it's just a stepping stone.
"I'm sure he probably will give me a hard time for shanking it, [or say] I should have made the putt on 18 [and] shouldn't have been in a playoff. "I don't know, he'll always find something to give me grief about."
