Over the last several years, Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas have been close friends as well as PGA Tour competitors.
Woods and Thomas play together often at home in Florida, and the 15-time major champion has served as a mentor to the 2017 PGA Championship winner. At 46, Woods is considerably older than the 28-year-old Thomas, but he has said he considers the younger golfer his “little brother.”
Woods repeated that line again this weekend.
Tiger Woods calling Justin Thomas “the little brother I never had” was almost too sweet and wholesome for my cold heart 🥺

Thomas has spent plenty of time with Woods’ recovery over the last year as Tiger recovers from his February 2021 car wreck. Of course, a lot of people are wondering if and when Woods will be rejoining Thomas on the PGA Tour.
However, Woods made it clear during coverage of the Genesis Open this weekend that he doesn’t know when he’ll be back.
“I don’t know,” Woods told Jim Nantz. “I can hit balls, the hard part is actually walking. That’s gonna take some time.
“I’m gonna have to put the time and the effort in at home — do all the beach walks and walk golf course… Just the ankle mobility. Overtime the ankle swells, the foot swells, the leg swells. That’s just [going to take] time.”
