What is Tiger thinking, announcing a press conference right in the middle of a tournament , this is hardly likely to endear him to his fellow pro’s, why could he have not made his announcement Monday, which is normally the day for news conferences in golfing circles.
But like the control freak that Tiger is, even his “apology” is stage managed he will read a prepared statement to a hand picked audience who are not permitted to ask questions, I will be surprised if the whole thing lasts longer than 5 minutes.
This could also be a dig at the tournament sponsors who are Accenture, this company were one of Tigers biggest sponsors, if that is the case that is childish behaviour from Woods, Accenture were also the first to drop him when the scandal broke, quite rightly in my opinion, any standing that Tiger had has evaporated in light of what a pathetic man he is in his personal life, Tiger went beyond just having an affair and is in the realms of sleaze.
I believe if and when Tiger plays his first tournament he can be expected to be shunned by a lot of fellow pro’s, and ridiculed by large sections of the gallery’s any respect he had has gone out of the window, and the aura and mystique around the man has followed.
A few pro’s have already publicly criticised him, the latest being Ernie Els, who has been a model pro all his life and never a whiff of anything untoward about him. Ernie has earned the right to comment on Tiger bringing the game into disrepute.
