Twitter Had Some Thoughts About Tiger Woods’s Shirtless Christmas Pic

The promotional commercials run by CBS in advance of the Masters golf tournament each April bill the event as “a tradition unlike any other.”

With respect to the prestigious tournament, we humbly submit that this, the picture you’re about to see, is the real tradition unlike any other.

Tiger Woods, a four-time winner of the Masters, staked his claim to that credo on Thursday — by sharing with his Twitter followers a picture that he says is part of an “Xmas tradition that my kids love.”

This is not the first time that Woods has posed sans top. Woods famously appeared shirtless on the cover of Vanity Fair in early 2010.

But this one — with the glasses, and the wig, and really, just the whole damn look — appears destined for Internet meme-dom.

As you might expect, Twitter had plenty of thoughts:

@TigerWoods It’s not Christmas until Tiger Woods’ nipples show up in your timeline.

#MacDaddySanta is among the last things I ever expected to see, but I’m happy because Tiger is being appropriately roasted for it.

Yo, Tiger Woods, are you a tad early for mid-life crisis?
