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.’”
