Justin Thomas and Tiger Woods played a round of home run derby with Charlie Woods
Justin Thomas and Tiger Woods are great friends on the PGA Tour. Both of them are completely loyal to the tour and have been doing everything in their power to promote the game of golf. And fans are aware that their friendship goes a long way back. But the story of Woods and Thomas playing home run derby inside Woods’ living room with his son was unknown to many fans.
The PGA Tour once posted an animated video depicting the story narrated by Thomas. In the video, Thomas said that he was at Woods’ house having dinner and watching TV. All of a sudden, Tiger Woods’ son Charlie proposed that the three should play a game called ‘home run derby’. It began with Woods pitching a ball to Charlie who was initially playing with a little golf club. But soon Charlie said, “Well, I want a bigger bat”, and soon brought a baseball bat to play.
Thomas didn’t expect Charlie to hit the ball very hard in the living room. But according to him, Charlie hit as hard as he could. And soon when Woods went to bat, he hit the ball with all his might. “He’s pretty much just peppering them…bouncing off walls,” Thomas said. But it was finally Thomas’ turn to play. And to his surprise, even though he didn’t hit very hard, he ended up breaking a candle. However, Woods didn’t mind the incident and said “It’s fine, it happens all the time.”
