For some reason, Tiger Woods caved to the woke mob on Friday and apologized for his excellent joke with Justin Thomas.
Woods on Thursday essentially went viral for giving Thomas a tampon after outdriving him during the Genesis Open in Los Angeles.

The outstanding joke made the photo immediately go viral.
And Thomas’s reaction showed he thoroughly appreciated it as well.
But of course, as with anything funny in the modern world, the wokes went nuts.
And so, on Friday, Woods apologized, saying if he “offended anybody,” that was not his intention.
Unnecessary Apology from Woods
The apology from Woods was entirely needless.
Woke puritans have infiltrated the culture so completely that harmless private jokes between friends are now grounds to take offense.
Jokes that are legitimately funny or entertaining are almost universally seen as “offensive” by a Very Online mob of people with nothing better to do.
Perhaps that’s why traditional “comedians” like Stephen Colbert are so deeply unfunny. They can’t actually make jokes without fear of being forced to issue groveling apologies.
Woods should have said “it was a joke between friends” and left it at that. These days there’s always someone ready to take offense at everything anyone says or does.
Let them be offended, and let the rest of us laugh.
Would have been so nice to see Tiger give the middle finger to the woke mob….alas, not to be.
Surprised Tiger did the apology. As we have all said many times, one has to stand up to the woke mob. Don’t let them intimidate you. Apologizing never works and makes you look weak.
