Ahead of the Masters, former World No. 1 Jon Rahm admitted he's been unable to receive any advice from Tiger Woods despite his best efforts.

"I think there's only one man in this field (who gets) advice from Tiger," Rahm said Tuesday when asked if Woods has imparted any wisdom. "Because I've asked before and I get nothing. So, you might need to ask Justin Thomas."

The Thomas and Woods families have been close for some time. In late 2021, Woods said Thomas was like a brother to him. Last week, Thomas was reportedly with Woods and his son, Charlie, during a practice round at Augusta National.

On Tuesday, Rahm touched on a few occasions when he's tried to get some tips out of the 15-time major champion to no avail.

"I remember asking him at East Lake the year he won: Before, we were on the putting green during the practice round, like 'Hey man, any tips for Bermuda?' This and that. He turned around and just said, 'It's all about feel,' and just kept going," Rahm said.

He added, "I asked him at Albany once about chipping into the grain. He's like, 'You just got to be shallow' ... Meanwhile, I turn around and JT's there with him; he's getting a whole dissertation on what to do."

While Rahm hasn't gotten much from Woods, he said he's received advice on the famous course from other previous Masters champions like Phil Mickelson.
