“We would like ladies’s sport to be on a taking part in area with males and I believe this incident was extraordinarily disappointing. I believe it was crass to be trustworthy.

“They’re two good associates. JT and Tiger Woods, good buddies, play loads collectively. Tiger Woods outdrove Justin Thomas. It was seemingly executed in jest. To me it was laddy, blokey behaviour, passing him the tampon successfully saying: ‘I’ve outdriven you’, ‘you are driving the ball like a ladies’, successfully the inference of the incident that occurred and that to me says females, ladies are inferior to males.

“‘I’ve outdriven you’, ‘you’ve got pushed the ball a shorter distance than I’ve and due to this fact ladies are inferior to males’.

“I believe that is not what we wish to be showcasing on the planet of sport. It was crass, it was disappointing and I believe shock from my facet as a result of he is taking part in within the Genesis on the PGA Tour. It is a event that he hosts.”

He comes again and there are a number of cameras with tens of millions, billions watching all over the world and a joke that he thought was personal clearly has been picked up.

“Tiger is a superb ambassador for the sport of golf with 15 main championships. He has an unbelievable basis and supplies help for deprived children all over the world. He is an envoy and a celebrity. I’d have personally anticipated a bit higher. He is within the public area on a regular basis.

“It may be seen as laddy behaviour however I simply assume what it says, the inference shouldn’t be good. Ladies shouldn’t be portrayed as being inferior to males in any stroll of life and positively on a sporting panorama, ladies, ladies shouldn’t be made to really feel like they’re inferior.

“Showcasing females to be inferior to males and being the butt of an in-joke between two males was actually poor.”

It was speculated to be a non-public incident nevertheless it’s now been highlighted. It has been showcased on social media and I do not assume he was requested about it.

“I believe he must be requested about it as a result of within the chilly mild of day, if he displays on it Tiger is a father of two and he is supportive of his children. He loves his children to bits.

“I believe if he displays and appears again on this, is that this the kind of incident he wish to be showcased and be blown up on TV? I believe not!
