AT&T Stands for "All Tiger & (more) Tiger"
I'm on my way out to Aronimink today to get the lay of the land for this weekend's big tournament and listen to Tiger Woods answer a few questions from the media.
I was at Tiger's last presser in May. There were no bold questions about the sex scandal that caused him to leave the tour for six months. Their was one mild one. Tiger was asked if his neck injury was in anyway related to the car accident he had in November.
"Zero," Tiger said. And that was it. His curt, one-word reply ended any line of inquiry along those lines.
For my own part, I wrote a column about Scandalina, the Tiger Woods Sex Scandal Elephant. She was in the room that day and we all ignored her. While she will be there again this afternoon, I can't imagine she will get any more attention than she did in May. Afterall, what is there left for Tiger to say about any of that? He was a naughty husband. A very naughty husband and he is suffering the consequences of that; divorce and separation from his children. (Above is the couple in happier times.)
How that all plays out will be interesting to the People Magazine crowd but for golf fans watching Tiger attempt to claw his way back to the top of his profession is what is has our attention. If he is in contention this week (and who will be surprised if he is?) with every Tiger birdie the roars at Aroninmink will be heard all the way to Aston.
Tiger's first post-scandal PGA Tour win will be international news. And if it is here in Newtown Square, the world will take notice.
Stay tuned.
