AUGUSTA, Ga. — Jon Rahm had some fun chiding Tiger Woods on Tuesday when asked if he’s sought any advice from Woods over the years like advice Woods once got from Spanish legend and former Masters winner Seve Ballesteros about Augusta National.

“I think there’s only one man in this field that hears advice from Tiger, because I’ve asked before and I get nothing,’’ Rahm said. “So, you might need to ask Justin Thomas. I’ve asked [Woods] before. I remember asking him at East Lake the year he won [the Tour Championship in 2019] on the putting green in the practice round: ‘Hey, man, any tips for Bermuda?’ He turned around and said, ‘It’s all about feel,’ and just kept going.

“I was like, ‘Cool, thank you.’ ’’

Rahm then remembered asking Woods some advice at Woods’ Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

“I asked him at Albany once about chipping into the grain,’’ Rahm said.

“You just got to be shallow,’’ was all Woods offered.

“OK,’’ Rahm said. “Meanwhile, I turn around and J.T.’s there with him, and he’s getting a whole dissertation on what to do.’’

Thomas, who is perhaps Woods’ closest friend on the PGA Tour, was asked Tuesday what advice from Woods on the Masters he values the most.

“To be perfectly honest, what I value the most I’m not going to tell you because I don’t really want any of the other competitors knowing it,’’ Thomas said.

When Thomas was told about Rahm’s comments, he said, “When I’m asking him stuff at home, it’s just like I would ask Jon Rahm a question or ask Jordan [Spieth] a question. Any person or buddy that I respect their game and I think that they are really good and they maybe are a little bit better at something that I am not as consistently good at, like I want to learn, so I’m going to ask a question.“I feel like Tiger’s been a good person for me to do that. But, yeah, I guess I’m very fortunate in that regard.’’

Woods has caused a bit of a stir this week wearing golf shoes that are not Nike shoes.

On Tuesday, he explained, saying, “Well, I have very limited mobility now. Just with the rods and plates and screws that are in my leg, I needed something different, something that allowed me to be more stable. That’s what I’ve gone to.

“Nike’s been fantastic over the years of providing me with equipment, and we’ve been working on trying to find something to allow me to do this and swing again. We’re still going to continue doing it, and hopefully we’ll have something soon.’’

When Rory McIlroy was asked about the all-Irish fourball he played in Monday with Padraig Harrington, Shane Lowry and Seamus Power, he said he and Lowry, who lives near him in Jupiter, Fla., set a game up last week.

“Then he texted me and said Seamus is going to join us, and that was great, and then Padraig as well,’’ McIlroy said.

“I actually didn’t know Padraig was in the field, which is bad,’’ he added, laughing. “But I guess he played pretty well in the PGA last year [a tie for fourth]. It was really good fun. Shane and I and Padraig are going to play on the Par-3 (Wednesday) as well, so that will be good fun.’’

The menu served by defending champion Hideki Matsuyama for Tuesday night’s Champions Dinner included sushi, sashimi, chicken yakitori skewers, miso-glazed cod, Wagyu beef and strawberry shortcake. Dustin Johnson, the 2020 winner, was looking forward to it, saying, “Wagyu steak is always good, and the miso black cod too. I love me a miso fish.’’

Johnson had the weird distinction of having the green jacket for only five months because he won the Masters played in November because of COVID-19 restrictions.

“I was fine with only having it for five months,’’ he said. “To be honest, I’d have taken it for just a week. You’re still a Masters champion.’’
