The laid-back atmosphere of the Hero World Challenge was apparent when Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas arrived at the first tee for the final round.
To rewind, Tiger received a long-winded intro listing his numerous accolades ahead of Round 3. Thomas, on the other hand, received nothing.
On Saturday, tournament host Woods likely played a key role in making sure his playing partner received a warm welcome, highlighted by having Thomas referred to as Kentucky's "Mr. Golf" in 2009.
Sounds like @TigerWoods made sure @JustinThomas34 got a proper introduction in the final round. 😂 pic.twitter.com/E3y7AQ7MZk
