Tiger Woods brilliantly followed up a trick-shot humiliation of a popular golf influencer last month by aiming a brutal dig at his attire.
Woods was at the launch of his new clothing and footwear brand Sun Day Red on Monday ahead of his first 2024 start at the Genesis Invitational this week.

Shortly after cutting ties with the global sportswear brand, Woods spent the day filming content with members of The Fore Play Pod.
In a challenge initiated by Woods, pod member ‘Riggs’ took on the 15-time major champion in a long-drive contest.
After Riggs’ respectable attempt, Woods opted to take his shot from a kneeling position, leaving the podcast team stunned.
And of course, the golf legend smashed it out of the park despite a chequered history of knee and back issues.
Riggs was in attendance at the Sun Day Red launch and posed a question to Woods that left him with egg on his face.
He asked Woods: “You famously outdrove me recently from your knees so my question is can you confirm that the Sun Day Red will help people like me hit the ball further?
Woods was in no mood to miss an opportunity to rib his old friend and replied: “I wouldn’t say necessarily hit it further... but you’ll look better than you do now!”
Woods ensured his banter was on top form when faced with a question from his old pal Riggs Woods stunned the Fore Play Pod members during a long-drive challenge last monthSun Day Red (SDR) will replace Nike’s TW collection as Woods’ official clothing brand and the star admits he is ready to share his knowledge and experience of golf apparel with the world.
"I have learned so much over the years and have a lifetime of experience adjusting my apparel and footwear to help me play better based on the way it was constructed," Woods explained in a news release.
