The replies to the picture have been BRUTAL.

Christmas is a time for jokes, pranks and merriment. When the whole family is back together, it's hard to not feel giddy and happy that it's Christmas time, a festive season that does only come once a year after all. One person who's feeling especially festive is golfer Tiger Woods. The 40-year-old golfer recently shared a photo of his festive alter ego, 'Mac Daddy Santa'. Captioning the semi-naked photo, only wearing a white wig and beard, a watch, a hat and sunglasses, Tiger explained his outfit saying "Xmas tradition that my kids love. Mac Daddy Santa is back!"

Between the unusual stern pose and the obvious toplessness, people were a little bemused by Tiger's tradition.

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

@TigerWoods I feel like this wasn’t intended for public consumption. — T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) December 22, 2016

With anything humorous on the internet, the picture of course, bred some ridiculous - albeit hilarious - memes.

Rory McIlroy even gave his own dry response to the photo, which truly says it all.
