Justin Thomas recently recounted a memorable exchange with Tiger Woods during the 2019 Presidents Cup, providing a glimpse into the candid dynamic between the two golfers. During a pivotal moment in the tournament, Thomas was faced with a challenging shot on a narrow dog-leg hole and sought advice from his teammate, Woods.
Known for his laid-back approach, Woods delivered an unfiltered response when Thomas asked for guidance. Rather than offering technical advice, Woods bluntly told him, “I don’t care what I have in, just put me in the ——- fairway.” While it wasnât the strategic insight Thomas had hoped for, it certainly lightened the pressure of the moment.
Reflecting on the exchange during an episode of The Smylie Show, Thomas shared how he ultimately teed up and successfully placed the ball in the fairway, drawing a laugh from the audience. Although Woodsâ words didnât make his decision any easier, Thomas took the humor in stride and managed to execute the shot. It’s moments like these that highlight the camaraderie and unique interactions between golfâs top players, especially in high-stakes team events like the Presidents Cup.
