Why did Justin Thomas call Woods a weirdo?
There indeed was a time when Thomas made a rather hilarious statement about the golf legend and ended up calling him, well, a ‘weirdo’! While talking about Tiger Woods’ intense warm-up routine during the memorable 2019 Masters, Thomas said, “Well, Tiger’s a weirdo. It doesn’t really count. He doesn’t sleep anyway,”.
