That seems like some very friendly trash talk from Woods to Thomas.

Woods may not be himself on the course anymore, but he can still outdrive some of his fellow golfers, and he hasn’t lost his sense of humor.

How was Woods able to get away with that move? He and Thomas have grown close over the years. Woods regards the 29-year-old as a younger brother. Likewise, Thomas views Tiger’s son Charlie as a younger brother.

As for their performances, McIlroy is tied for fourth at 7-under; Thomas was tied for 14th at 3-under; and Tiger was tied for 27th at 2-under after the first round.
