Will play in 2015 Masters

0 Comments

Woods will play in the 2015 Masters. After only playing 47 holes in competition this year, and withdrawing from the Farmers’ Insurance Open, Woods says steady progress on his home range in Jupiter along with two practice rounds at Augusta National last week convinced him he is ready:

It would come in flashes. I would get in these modes where it would come for ten minutes and I would just have it, just dialed in; and then I’d lose it for an hour; and then I’d get it back. And next thing you know, I’d flip to having it for an hour to ten minutes of losing it, and then it got to a point where it was just there.

On the pundits:

I’ve come to the understanding that I live it. I know exactly what I’m doing out here and I’ve hit the shots, and I don’t really need someone else’s secondhand opinion of what I was thinking of. I know exactly what I was doing out there.

Woods an ‘inspiration’

0 Comments

Vonn tells CNN that boyfriend Tiger Woods has been an ‘inspiration’ in helping her recover from knee surgery.

Tiger and I both went through rehab with our injuries at a similar time, so we were both in the gym together and pushing each other and motivating each other, both frustrated. I think we both helped each other a lot through that time, and I drew a lot of inspiration from him and I think he does the same with me. We continue to push each other and it’s a really positive relationship in that way.

Responds to Golf Digest article

0 Comments

Woods responds to a satirical article featuring an interview with a ‘fake’ Tiger Woods written by Dan Jenkins for the December issue of Golf Digest.

Did you read Dan Jenkins’ interview with me in the latest Golf Digest? I hope not. Because it wasn’t me. It was some jerk he created to pretend he was talking to me. That’s right, Jenkins faked an interview, which fails as parody, and is really more like a grudge-fueled piece of character assassination. Journalistically and ethically, can you sink any lower?

2014 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational withdrawal

0 Comments

Woods withdraws from the competition in the middle of the fourth round due to back spasms. He says he aggravated his back on his second shot on Number 2, from the lip of a fairway bunker where he lost his balance and jumped into the sand trap. This is the third event he has participated in since back surgery in March of 2014. At this time, it is unclear whether Woods will play in the PGA Championship later this week or be chosen to play on the U.S. Ryder Cup team. As he prepares to leave, Woods says:

Just want to get out of here. I fell back into the bunker I just jarred it, and it’s been spasming every since. It’s just the whole lower back.

Out of tournament

0 Comments

Tiger Woods is out of 2014 Quicken Loans National Tournament Friday, June 27 after completes just two rounds.  He missed the cut at Congressional after shooting 4-over 75 in 2nd round (+7 overall).

I came back four weeks earlier than I thought we could. I had no setbacks, no pain. I got my feel for playing tournament golf. I’m encouraged by what happened this week. My short game was off. I made a ton of simple little mistakes. I probably should have spent more time chipping than I did. The thing I was worried about the most was hitting driver. I hit it really well the last two days.

Fights with Nordegren, crashes car

0 Comments

Around 2:25 a.m., after Nordegren confronts Woods about rumors of his involvement with other women. When Woods leaves in his 2009 Cadillac Escalade, she hits Woods and his SUV with a golf club, and chases the car. Woods crashes his car into a fire hydrant and hits a tree. Initially it is reported that Nordegren heard the crash and went to Woods aid, smashing the rear window of the SUV to help him escape. Police arrived to find Woods, drifting in and out of consciousness, lying in the street with his wife watching over him.  He is taken to a nearby hospital about 10 minutes later. Woods also tells a non-law enforcement individual that he suffered facial lacerations from the crash. Police said the air bags on the 2009 Escalade did not deploy, meaning Woods was likely driving slower than 33 mph. The couple issue a statement:

Tiger Woods was in a minor car accident outside his home last night,” it read. “He was admitted, treated and released in good condition. We appreciate very much everyone’s thoughts and well wishes.

Golf, rugby approved

0 Comments

A international committee approves golf and rugby sevens for possible inclusion in the 2016 games out of a list of seven sports, rejecting baseball, softball, and three others. The board submits the approved choices for ratification by the 106-member IOC in Copenhagen. Women’s boxing is also given final approval in the 2012 games. Woods supports golf’s ratification:

Golf is a truly global sport and it should have been in the Olympics a while ago. If it does get in, it would be great for golf and some of the other small countries that are now emerging in golf.
