While many debated the issue, a women’s empowerment company has strongly objected to Woods’ act, with strong words of remark.

Tiger Woods’ comeback to the PGA Tour made headlines every single day. However, his incident involving Justin Thomas, where the former handed a tampon to his dear friend, went viral.



Tiger Woods shamed on tampon move.

The incident occurred on the first day of the Genesis Open, where Woods and Thomas are presently competing. 

Making a comeback after an eternity, the 15 times major champion out-drove his dear friend at the Riviera Golf Course. It led to Woods playfully handing out a packet of Tampax to Thomas, which was spotted by the cameras on the course.

Many had a laugh about the incident, while others seemed the incident was unnecessary.

Woods’ actions have made an organization, that prides itself in women’s empowerment, very unhappy.

The Women’s Global Empowerment Fund, a non-profit organization based out of Denver, issued a statement after the aforementioned incident. Karen Sugar, CEO of the company, left no stone unturned in her choice of words for Woods. 


Sugar claimed it was misogynistic but also tone-deaf and disrespectful of the golfer to females all over the world.

Sugar was left stunned that Woods, father to a daughter, could act in such a shameful manner.

She believed that the incident sent the wrong message to the issues surrounding mental health and periods, which women and girls go through around the globe.


Sugar had more to add.


Moreover, she was also forced to think whether Woods was suggesting that “periods are embarrassing or shameful or a sign of weakness?” with his act.
