Tiger Woods called Justin Thomas to watch Fred Couples’ game

Woods has not returned to the field himself in quite a long time. But mentally, the golfer is as involved in professional golf as he could ever be. And according to a recent incident, Woods showed that he was indeed a lot more interested in the game than many golf fans.

Most sports fans were busy binging over the NFL or the ZOZO Championship in Japan, while Woods was intrigued by the SAS Championship featuring his old friend Fred Couples. And the news was brought to the fans by Woods’ “little brother”, Justin Thomas, who was tuned into the Buffalo Bills-Kansas City Chiefs game. “I think [Couples] was on 17 or 18 and Tiger called me,” Thomas said. “And he’s like, ‘Are you watching this?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, pretty good game.’ He’s like, ‘No, Freddie’s 11 under and he’s playing 18.’”

Golf fans couldn’t keep calm after Golf.com took to Instagram to share the conversation between the two with the fans. Some said “JT takes a break from golf, Tiger don’t”, while others said, “There won’t be another [player] like Tiger”. Fans were thrilled to find out that despite being at home, Woods was so excited about his old friend’s performance.

Some fans also appreciated the fact that Woods prioritized Couples’ game over anything else. A person said, “Tiger keeping up with his friend Freddie…Couples played amazing”. While another fan said, “Tiger knows what’s important. A Freddy win any time is big news!”

Others even compared their feelings about the game with those of the golfer. They said, “Me too tiger! Me too!”, while another Instagram user commented, “I was like tiger. Watching. boom boom”.
