Justin Thomas Shares Hilarious Tiger Woods Story at Tour Championship

During a pre-tournament press conference at East Lake, Justin Thomas shared a memorable story about a FaceTime call with Tiger Woods in 2020. Thomas, who was participating in a practice round, decided to call Woods, who hadn't qualified for the event, to playfully show him the course. Woods initially acted as if the call was cutting out, only to call back moments later wearing his Masters green jacket, a clear jab at Thomas. This anecdote illustrates the close and playful relationship between the two golfers. Thomas also discussed his performance this season, giving himself a 'B' grade and expressing hope for improvement at the Tour Championship. He spoke positively about the new format of the Tour Championship, which he believes will provide a more level playing field and increase the number of potential winners. This year, the format change means all players start at even par, increasing the chances for a more competitive and exciting event. Thomas aims to secure his second win of the season, having already won the RBC Heritage in April. He believes the new format allows players to recover from a bad round and remain competitive throughout the tournament.
