A sorry situation
The sorry situation involving Tiger Woods got a lot sorrier Friday.
In case you missed it, and it would be hard to believe anyone did since it was given the treatment of a presidential address, Tiger Woods appeared before the cameras and fell on his 3-iron.
He said he was sorry. About a thousand times.
He appeared before a few friends and a couple of select media types. The Golf Writers of America actually boycotted the event because he was not taking questions.
Tiger didn’t have to tell me he’s sorry. Hey, he was a cheating dog and got caught. Of course he was sorry.
He didn’t have to apologize to me either. There was only one thing I wanted to hear, and it’s the one thing he didn’t address.
Tiger said he was sorry to his wife and family, who are really the only people he should be talking to about all this.
He apologized to his sponsors, who sold us a very different image of Tiger all these years.
He apologized to the PGA Tour and his fellow players, being how he was upstaging the Accenture Match Play tournament, which just happens to be one of the sponsors who dumped him.
I didn’t tune in to hear any of that. The only thing I wanted to hear is when he’s coming back. And that’s the one thing he didn’t address. He’s going back into therapy and hopes to return to competitive golf some day, while admitting he does not know when that day will be.
Next week would work for me.
Look, I’m going to watch golf anyhow. I checked out the final round of the Accenture yesterday, and it was like watching paint dry seeing Ian Poulter, decked out head to toe in pink, finish off Paul Casey 4 and 2 in the match play event.
My guess is myself and a handful of other golf diehards tuned in. The TV audience for the PGA Tour so far this year is off by about 50 percent.
Care to guess why? I won’t say Tiger is the tour, but he’s close to it.
More importantly, when he’s on the leaderboard on Sunday afternoon, it’s literally impossible to turn away. The guy may be a horndog, but he’s a mesmerizing one.
Tiger Woods does things almost every weekend on the golf course that you’ve never seen before.
Simply put, he can’t get back on the course soon enough.
Enough with the apologies. We know you’re sorry.
I hope you can patch things up with your wife.
The Masters is a little more than a month away. I’m still hoping Woods is there.
And if he’s not? Not that would be sorry.
