American golfers Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas have been the best of friends for a long time. Many fans would agree that their bond equates to that of real siblings. Because of the bond between the two golfers, Woods' absence on Thomas' special day was very jarring and shocking.
The past week has been a joyous one for the 29-year-old Justin Thomas. The ace golfer finally married his long-time girlfriend Jillian Wisniewski in an intimate ceremony in Franklin, Tennessee.
Justin and Jillian had been in a relationship for almost five years before tying the knot. Fellow golfer and 'The Match' partner Jordan Spieth was the best man. Not much is known about the ceremony since it had a no-phone policy. However, some details were later revealed.

It was revealed that while several renowned golfers were in attendance, Tiger Woods was not present for Justin Thomas' special day. But it appears that Woods had a very valid reason to not attend his best friend's wedding.
Woods was busy doing caddy duties for his 13-year-old son, Charlie, who is all set to compete at the Notah Begay III Golf National Championship. Tiger Woods has caddied for his son in previous tournaments as well. Videos of Charlie's practice sessions with his father by his side went viral on social media.
It is believed that Charlie's competition dates clashed with Justin Thomas' wedding, so Woods had to give his best friend's wedding a pass to stay by his son during the competition season.
Cannot say no to that one now, can we?
