Golfer calls Tiger Woods “selfish,” write calls him a “control freak”
Golfing great and monogamy not-so great Tiger Woods will talk publicly Friday for the first time since a sex scandal sent him into hiding three months ago.
Big question: does anyone actually care about what he has to say?
Perhaps, but it is clear that a lot of people are over Woods and his drama.
Golfer Ernie Els called Woods “selfish,” according to the Golf Week.
“You can write that. I feel sorry for the sponsor. Mondays are a good day to make statements, not Friday. This takes a lot away from the golf tournament.”
Friday is the third day of the Accenture Match Play tournament.
In an email to the AP Wednesday, Woods’ agent Mark Steinberg said the champ would not answer questions from the small group of reporters invited to hear him speak Friday.
Sports Illustrated senior writer Michael Bamberger blasted Woods in a recent column.
“
Tiger Woods is a world-class control freak, and in his re-entry into public life — which has showered him with wealth and opportunities and trappings that we can only imagine — he is picking up right where he left off. He controls all. He’s the same way with his golf ball. He tells it exactly what he wants it to do.
A guess is that Tiger is very angry. Angry at the National Enquirer for breaking the story of his infidelity. Angry at NBC — one of the Tour’s most reliable media partners! — for trotting out one of his babes on the Today show with golf buff Matt Lauer. Angry at the mainstream golf press for writing oh-that-Tiger-is-a-fraud stories. ” Bamberger writes on Golf.com.
Steinberg said Woods statement will continue the healing process.
“While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between he and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down a lot of other people who were close to him,” Steinberg reportedly said in his email to the AP. “He also let down his fans. He wants to begin the process of making amends and that’s what he’s going to discuss.”
