‘Cannot Be Legal’: Fans Express Their Outrage After Being Irked by PGA Tour’s Tiger Woods Treatment

Ever since Tiger Woods announced his return to the PGA Tour, he’s been the center of attention in golf. The fans have been constantly raging about his homecoming to the Tour at the Riviera. And yet again, after the Tour’s pairing announcements just a few hours ago, the golf legend became the talk of the town. But this time he’s infuriated the golf world, mainly because he’s paired up with two of his closest pals on the Tour.

The golf world is infuriated with Tiger Woods

Late last week, Woods announced that he would be a part of the 132-player field at the Genesis Invitational. Since then, he’s been closely followed by the fans, who are eager to know his every move. And recently, when the Tour took to Twitter to announce Thursday’s tee times for the Riviera event, the fans went berserk seeing Woods’ group.

But the golf world didn’t take the well at all. The fans were frustrated to see the 15-time major winner getting biased treatment on the Tour, where he created years of legacy, and lashed out at him.

Taking to Twitter, they openly voiced their concerns, calling out the Tour for favoritism. Some even suggested that this was certainly not legal.

Fans further added that it looked like Woods had picked his group himself, and they weren’t sure how that was fair to the rest of the field.

The golf world responded with sarcasm and abuse, throwing a lot of shade the way of the Tour and the 15-time major champion.

Woods’ bond with JT and McIlroy

The 82-time PGA Tour winner undoubtedly shares a close bond with the FedEx Cup Champion. The two have been friends for years now, and also stand united in the charge against LIV Golf. But they’re more than that. The duo are also business partners; Together and run TMWR sports, a company that aims to which they wish to grow the sport.

The golf champion and JT, on the other hand, share a much more personal bond. As per a PGA Tour article, he once even called the 15-time PGA Tour winner “the little brother that I never had.” Both the Woods and the Thomas families are very close too, and their relationship can be seen during events like the PNC championship when their bond is displayed for all to see.
