Tiger Woods continues trolling Justin Thomas with over-the-top intro

Justin Thomas has been Tiger Woods’ punching bag at the Hero World Challenge.

Tiger Woods has spent his entire weekend at the Hero World Championship trolling fellow Presidents Cup team member Justin Thomas, and he saved the best prank for Saturday’s final round.

Woods and Thomas have been paired together in three of the tournament’s four rounds. On Wednesday, Woods made a show of outdriving the 26-year-old star, stopping to inspect the ball before he swaggered ahead to his own monstrous drive. In the third round, Woods received a glorious introduction on the first tee, while his playing partner’s accolades were ignored and he was introduced as “Justin Thomas.”

On Sunday, however, the announcer on the first tee went through an exhaustive list of Thomas’ accomplishments, even making sure to inform the crowd that Thomas as Mr. Golf in the state of Kentucky in 2009. Thomas thought the whole thing was hilarious.

Tiger Woods trolls Justin Thomas after one-upping him with monstrous drive

Woods outdrove the 26-year-old Thomas, then paused to inspect his ball, before confidently striding away.

The only thing better than the Big Cat being back is the Big Cat being back with a little swagger. 

Tiger Woods is paired up with Justin Thomas at the Hero World Championship in the Bahamas today, and after Thomas hit a huge drive during the round, Woods stepped up and smashed one that flew past his.

Thomas is 26 years old, and last year averaged over 300 yards per drive. He’s a big hitter. Woods is 44, but he’s the Big Cat, so it doesn’t matter.

Even better, Woods then walked over to Thomas’ ball on the fairway, and pretended to look down and inspect it to see if it was actually his ball. He then confidently strode away, because he’s Tiger Woods and he gets to do that.

BIG CAT SWAGGER.

What can Thomas do there? There’s nothing you can do. You applaud Woods, and maybe ask him to sign his can of Monster Energy Drink for you later.

10 best men’s college players of the decade

Adam Woodard breaks down the top 10 male college golfers of the decade plus a few other honorable mentions.

College golf has increasingly become a window into the next generation of PGA Tour stars. It has helped tremendously that the NCAA Championship has been televised since 2014. That brought college stars right into golf fans’ living rooms, showing exactly the level of play that’s out there.

To reflect on the top college players of the past decade is to play a game of “remember them when.” The resumes are deep on these players, and each made a contribution to his team or his program that was beyond meaningful. These players raised the bar in college golf, and showed just how deep the talent pool is.

Here are the top 10 men’s college golfers of the decade followed by a few honorable mentions (in alphabetical order).

Top 10

Patrick Cantlay, UCLA

Cantlay spent 55 weeks as the No. 1 player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, a record he held until Jon Rahm broke it in 2016. He turned pro in 2012 after his sophomore season at UCLA, but it was his freshman season that caught the nation’s attention. Cantlay won four events in the 2010-11 season, including the NCAA San Diego Regional, and finished second at the NCAA Championship, where he led the Bruins to match play. In two years Cantlay had 14 top 10 finishes and 24 rounds in the 60s.
