[VIDEO] How was Tiger Woods No. 1 for so long? He answered with 14 words

By
Tiger Woods No. 1

Jason Day laughs now, because it’s funny to him on a few levels. For one, Tiger Woods answered his question self-deprecatingly. But there’s also a nugget of hard truth to the response that makes Day smile too. 

The query?

What kept you at No. 1 for so long?

Day was talking on this week’s “The Smylie Show” — which you can listen to in full here — where part of the conversation looked at Day’s time atop the golf world, and specifically the commitment to get there. The podcast’s host, Smylie Kaufman, noted that Day’s devotion reminded him of Woods’, and that led to this response:

How was Tiger Woods No. 1 for so long? He answered with 14 words

“You had to have, it was — to get to the best, it’s a lifestyle choice,” Day said on the podcast. “Your whole life has to be in on that goal of being the best. You can’t — it’s very difficult. Some of the guys can do it. Like a Dustin Johnson and some of these other guys, they can naturally just get to No. 1, and just like, how do you do it so easily? … They don’t practice as hard as you or I, they’re kind of just naturally gifted in a way that they can do it and it just doesn’t look like it affects their lifestyle much.

“And then there’s people like me and even Tiger, for instance.”

Woods? Really? At this point in the podcast, Day shared the story of his question — and Woods’ 14-word response.

“I always laugh at this because — hey, what kept you at No. 1 for so long?” Day said on the podcast. “And he would look at me and go, I’m not as talented as you so I had to work harder than you.

“I’m like, that is such a load of crap. You’re way more talented than me. But again, what he did great was that he matched great technique with unbelievable work ethic and also a great mental game. When you have that three-prong effect, it’s just going to give success.”

Was Day more talented than Woods? Did Woods work harder than Day to the tune of 69 more wins than him? (Woods has 82 victories; Day 13.) Was Woods poking fun at himself? Was he jabbing Day? We’ll let you figure that out.

But Day also appreciated Woods’ drive. Day, too, left no golf ball unturned.

“Getting back to being No. in the world, it was, what am I eating, how am I sleeping, is there any drama in my life that I need to get rid of?” Day said on the podcast. “Because the amount of stuff that happens personally at home affects you on the golf course, so you got to understand that having a toxic relationship or having drama off the golf course actually affects you on the golf course. Then you go, how’s my practice schedule, how’s my gym work and then you got to attack it from all different angles and go, OK, well, everything’s working in order, go out and play, and then my goal, if I’m wanting to do it and I’m willing to push it, then you’ll, at some point, if have all those things working in order, you’ll get there.

“But, god, it’s hard.”

Tiger Woods to design second Texas golf course as PGA and LIV Golf merger talks progress

By
Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods is set to design a new golf course in Texas as he takes on another project away from the course, with the 15-time major winner also in talks with LIV Golf

Tiger Woods is expanding his design portfolio with a second golf course in Texas, announcing a major new venture.

The 48-year-old golf icon revealed on Thursday that he’s collaborating once more with the Bluejack Ranch brand to create a new course in Aledo, Texas. On their website, Woods expressed his enthusiasm: “I’m grateful for the encore opportunity to reteam with Bluejack National and home-towners Andy and Kristin Mitchell to design a course around this incredibly special property and community.

“It’s extremely motivating for me to contribute to the golfing legacy of Fort Worth, and I’m excited to see what we’ll build together. We’ll share more after our next design meeting in Aledo.”

Amidst these developments, Woods continues to be a key figure in negotiations between the PGA Tour and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF) regarding a potential merger with LIV Golf. These discussions have been active for over a year, with Woods playing a pivotal role while simultaneously pursuing other interests.

In addition to his latest design project, Woods is also gearing up to launch a new golf league in January with fellow PGA Tour star Rory McIlroy. The innovative TGL league will showcase 24 leading PGA Tour players in weekly televised games at a purpose-built arena in Florida.

Golf legends Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy have teamed up with top golf course designer Beau Welling to revolutionise the game by creating digital holes for a state-of-the-art 1,500-seater arena at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens. They’re set to light up the stage along with stars such as Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, and Justin Rose.

Woods, juggling a plethora of projects including his involvement in crafting a virtual golf experience for the innovative TGL, promoting his clothing line Sun Day Red, and designing new courses, is carving out less time for traditional golf rounds. He’s running on a light schedule these days with an anticipated appearance at the Hero World Challenge on Dec.5.

While Woods may be entering the twilight of his playing career, he’s been handed the significant role of shaping golf’s future. The PGA Tour, in negotiations with the Public Investment Fund (PIF), saw Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and Saudi Arabia’s Yasir Al-Rumayyan present a stunning framework agreement last June that remains unsigned, some 18 months on.

According to ESPN, Woods had discussions with PIF representatives in New York recently.

The golf icon has been tight-lipped since giving an update at The Open Championship in July, where he hinted at positive developments, saying: “I can tell you we’re making progress. I can’t tell you more than that just because we’re not going to negotiate on the outside.”

He emphasised confidentiality and optimism about the ongoing dialogues, mentioning: “We’ve got to keep everything at a high level and private, but things are moving and things are changing… There’s a good interchange of ideas and thoughts on how the game could look going forward. It’s just a matter of putting that all together legally.”

“Obviously we have the DOJ with oversight looking into that as well and making sure that we don’t do anything improperly there, as well, but also making sure that all the players benefit from this as well as everyone who’s involved. They want to make money as well. They want to make that return.”

Tiger Woods’ business empire blitzes his career earnings despite ditching £500m deal

By
Tiger Woods USGA

Tiger Woods doesn’t need to join LIV Golf to supplement his income.

The legendary Tiger Woods may be waning on the course, but he remains one of the richest sportspeople in the world off it. At 48 and plagued by serious leg and back injuries, the American is seldom seen at professional tournaments these days, his appearances confined to Major championships and exhibition events.

However, the legacy of the 15-time major champion has long been cemented, having banked record amounts of prize money since turning pro back in August 1996.

READ: Tiger Woods sent vulgar message to golfer at President’s Cup

His career winnings alone amount to more then £90million, with that figure inflated immensely by sponsorship endorsements.

In January this year, one of the most iconic sponsorship deals in world sport was ended when Woods cut ties with Nike after 27 years. The contract was reportedly worth more than £373m, and a previous deal with Gatorade is said to have earned him £75m before the sports drink company ended their association in 2011 following reports of his extra-marital affairs.

But it’s the business ventures of Woods, who according to Forbes is now worth around £824m, that have proved more lucrative than his golf prowess and endorsements. The all-time great has indulged in everything from real estate to clothing brands as his name alone continues to appeal to engross the public.

He is said to have purchased, and later sold, a string of luxurious properties over the years. His own home on Jupiter Island is worth an estimated £40m, having been specially adapted in late 2021 to aid his rehabilitation following the high speed car crash that threatened to curtail his golf career.

A number of the world’s best players also live in his star-studded neighbourhood and based close to his home in Florida is The Woods. The restaurant is owned by the man himself, and boasts of being ‘a destination to celebrate like a champion’.

Inevitably, many of the business ventures of the five-time US Masters champion centre around golf. He owns a course design firm, TGR Design, a golf simulator tool Full Swing, and an indoor mini golf chain called Popstroke.

The latter venture has nine different branches, with 15 more sites reportedly set to open. But fans are also awaiting with intrigue for TMRW Sports, a tech company that Woods launched in conjunction with Rory McIlroy, to start the TGL indoor league, designed to attract a new and younger audience to the sport.

Furthermore, Woods is a shareholder in global real estate development company Nexus Luxury Collection, alongside singer Justin Timberlake. But he’s also in the midst of a legal battle with his clothing line which he launched with TaylorMade this year, called Sun Day Red.

American company Tigeraire, who produce air-conditioned helmets for sportspeople, have filed a notice of opposition to the US Patent and Trademark Office. Their complaints centre around alleged similarities between their logo and that of Sun Day Red.

Tiger Woods sent vulgar message to golfer at President’s Cup

By
Tiger Woods Presidents Cup

Tiger was brutally straightforward

Justin Thomas did not hold back the details he had with golf legend Tiger Woods during a dicey moment at the President’s Cup.

“It was in the alternate shot, and I just made like an eight-footer for birdie to stay tied in the match. We were in a really good match,” Thomas explained, according to Mirror. “So I had 16 tee shot, and it’s this brutal hole.”

“It’s this very narrow dog-leg left, and it just gradually dog legs the whole way. And I like to fade the ball off the tee, and there’s this damn tree that’s right off of the tee on the left that’s just right in my window … it’s a big point in the match. I need to get this ball in play.”

“I have the greatest iron player on planet earth on my team, but it’s such a long hole, I can’t hit an iron because it’s like a driver/five-iron kind of par four. And I never really ask Tiger anything in terms of layups or whatever it is, and that’s what makes him such a great partner. He’s just like, ‘look, you go play, I’ll go play, I’ll let you know if I need anything’.

“I call Tiger over. He’s like, ‘What? ‘ I’m like, ‘I mean, is there anything, like, this tee shot’s not very comfortable for me. Like, do you care if you’re further back or…”

Woods was blunt in his response.

“I don’t care what I have in, just put me in the ——- fairway.”

Thomas laughed off the interaction though.

“I was like, ‘Okay, that doesn’t make it any easier, but I appreciate it, partner. So I just teed down a low driver and hit like a little junior draw, and somehow hit the fairway… I’ll never forget that.”

It’s good to know that despite his recent struggles with his health, Tiger still has his sense of humor.

Charlie Woods Update: With Tiger Woods’s Return Doubtful, Father-Son Duo’s Long-Awaited Dreams Dealt Another Big Blow

By
PNC Championship Charlie Woods Tiger Woods

The PNC Championship isn’t where we see an exceptional display of skills, but also special bonds. At the tournament, parents tee off with their children to create a memorable moment on the greens.

John Daly is getting ready to play at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club; another golf legend is here to join him. No, it’s not Tiger Woods!

In the first week of September, Daly shared an update on Instagram where he confirmed his presence at the PNC Championship scheduled in December. Long John reshared an old clip of the PNC Championship and simply wrote, “Can’t wait. Coming soon. Daly double in December.” Now, Annika Sorenstam is joining John Daly. NUCLR GOLF shared a post on X and wrote, “Annika Sorenstam and son Will McGee commit to the PNC Championship in Orlando this December.”

Amidst all this, Tiger Woods’s chances to play at the tournament are looking slim. Recently, Woods went through lumbar spine surgery for nerve impingement, and currently, he is “forward to tackling this rehab.” Last year, Team Woods finished in T5 after pulling an incredible comeback on the final day of the tournament. Although Tiger Woods indicated during the Open Championship that he would likely play in the PNC Championship in December, his recent surgery has disrupted those plans, making it highly unlikely he’ll compete in Orlando this December.

The Woods duo has never been able to win the PNC Championship, and it seems with other powerful duos confirming, and their confirmation still hanging out there, the dream might get postponed a year further. Annika Sorenstam, who joined the LPGA Tour in 1994 and boasts 72 tour victories and 10 major titles, is regarded as one of the greatest golfers in women’s history. However, at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, she won’t be competing as a legend but as the mother of young Will McGee. And who knows, this mother duo might create another memorable moment like last year.

Last year, when Sorenstam teed off with her son at the PNC Championship, it resulted in an unforgettable memory. After finishing T11 at the tournament, the mother-son duo was brought to tears. PGA Tour Champions shared a post on X captioning “An emotional interview with Will McGee and @ANNIKA59 after a special week @PNCChampionship.” In the interview, Will McGee said, “It’s the best week of my year and life,” while recalling the moment with his mother on the greens.

The LPGA legend said, “It’s so much fun; we had a good time together.” The pair were also on the on the verge of “happy tears” as they recounted the final day of the championship. Overall, it was an unforgettable memory for both of them, and they are looking forward to creating something worth remembering this time at the PNC Championship as well.

WATCH: Will Zalatoris on how Tiger Woods’ secret formula can help the average golfer

By
Tiger Woods Will Zalatoris

Tiger Woods had a secret formula for winning tournaments – and Will Zalatoris has a version of it which can be applied to all 12 handicap golfers.

The Californian man knows all about building foundations that allow a golfer to improve himself.

After turning professional in 2018, Zalatoris failed to earn a Korn Ferry Tour card at Q School but he doubled down on Monday qualifying and earned his card that way.

READ: Tiger Woods accused of ‘unlawful hijacking’ of logo for his golf brand

A year later he was a winner on the second tier; a year after that he was playing on the PGA Tour.

At every stage he added to his game and got better.

He’s now finished top 10 seven times in the major championships and was a winner of the 2022 FedEx St Jude Championship.

In this Instagram video he explains how an amateur golfer can also make solid progress to become a better golfer.

“How do you get from a 12 to an 8?” he asks. “Make less doubles.

“How do you get from an 8 to a 5? That’s when we need to get a little bit better with the short game, whether that’s better with chipping or less three putts.

“How do you get from 5 to 0? Now all of a sudden, that’s hard. Going from 10 to 5 versus 5 to 0 is, like, light years difference.”

If becoming a scratch golfer might be beyond most golfer, Zalatoris still insists three rules will help you get better.

“My three big things I always tell people are get on the greens as fast as you can, take more club, and just eliminate doubles.”

Then he reveals that Tiger Woods had his own magic rules.

“Tiger had this thing that he did where it was no three putts, no doubles or bogeys on par-5s, no missed up-and-downs, and no penalty shots.

“And if he did one of those things he won like 90% of the time – that’s one over the length of a tournament.”

Zalatoris laughs and says: “It’s hard, but essentially what I’m saying is, ‘Here is your 12 handicap version and here’s Tiger’s version which is insane but that just gives you the perspective.’”

Ultimately he concludes with a really simple message: “It makes you realise that good golf is not super sexy.”

Tiger Woods accused of ‘unlawful hijacking’ of logo for his golf brand

By
Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods’s Sun Day Red range of apparel was ridiculed for its bizarre name − as well as its upmarket prices − when launched earlier this year, but now the iconic golfer finds his clothing venture accused of “unlawful hijacking”.

Tigeraire, a US company that makes air-conditioned helmets for gridiron players, has filed a legal action accusing Woods and Sun Day Red of breaking trademark rules by copying Tigeraire’s design.

The respective logos do bear a striking resemblance, but TaylorMade, Woods’s partner in the brand, has “full confidence in the securitisation of our trademarks”.

READ: Scottie Scheffler’s comments about Rory McIlroy say it all after worrying admission

The dispute will bring an immediate halt to Woods’s application for the logo − depicting a tiger made up of 15 lines in homage to the number of majors he has won − but Josh Gerben, a trademark attorney in America told news channel CNBC that it is “unlikely to affect future production”.

If nothing else, however, it is an inconvenience to the range which has come under criticism since it was first publicised in the wake of Woods leaving Nike after a near 30-year relationship that earned the Californian hundreds of millions.

Apart from the wacky name −which TaylorMade explained as being “born from being outside in the sun, the joy of playing golf during the day and a special red being the brand’s power colour” − the prices have raised eyebrows.

Polo shirts cost more than £100, with hoodies at around £150. A plain white T-shirt, with a tiny logo in the bottom left corner, retails at more than £60.

However, Woods and TaylorMade remain positive, with the range “selling out in hours” when officially launched on the website in May and the bumf assures us that “as Sun Day Red expands into foreign markets and women’s clothing, sales are projected to spike to $80 million-$10 0million [£60 million-£75 million] by the end of 2025 − and then over $200 million per annum in 2026.”

Woods and the Sun Day Red team have 40 days to respond to the notice of opposition that Tigeraire has filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office.

There can be no doubting Woods’s selling power, but it would surely have been preferable for the 48-year-old to give the line more on-course exposure. That is hardly his fault as his battered body continues to blight his competitive comeback.

He has only played six rounds since Sun Day Red came onto the market, missing the cut at the USPGA, US Open and Open. He was expected to appear next at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas at the end of November, but the player now ranked 999th in the world is a doubt for the tournament promoted by his own charity after yet another injury set-back.

Woods revealed two weeks ago that he has undergone micro decompression surgery on his lower back, to help with back spasms and pain that has been affecting him. The operation is said to have gone “smoothly” and he is now in a race to recover in time for the Hero. However, he now also has a headache − albeit of the legal variety − to negotiate.

‘Charlie’s Not Tiger Woods’s Son..’: Victim of Harassment, 15YO Prodigy’s True Nature Was Once Revealed

By
Charlie Woods Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods dominated the greens during his prime and has 82 PGA Tour and 15 majors to his name.

When talking about his son, Charlie Woods it’s only natural for one to think of him as a celebrity child. However, Toby Harbeck, Woods Jr’s high school golf coach doesn’t see him as one but considers him a normal student instead.

It happened in March this year when the Benjamin school’s golf head coach Toby Harbeck talked about the State Championship. Tiger Woods attended the tournament as an audience. As it happened, Harbeck said “You know, we don’t call him Tiger. We call him Dad because he’s Dad,” saying that they don’t treat the 15-year-old as a celebrity golfer’s child but a normal student instead.

Tiger Woods' Son Charlie Fails to Advance in PGA Pre-Qualifier

“And Charlie’s not Tiger Woods’ son, but he’s Charlie, and that’s the way they want it to be,” the head coach further added. Harbeck also talked about Woods and how he attends Charlie Woods’s golf matches saying “Tiger’s been there a lot — it’s great to have him watching. We were playing a match at home, 18 holes, and we finished shooting a course-record 15-under. Tiger’s sitting next to me and he goes, ‘What did we shoot, coach?’,” as revealed on the Palm Beach Post website.

After knowing the score the 15x major champion was happy and excitedly said, “Are you kidding me?” and later went to shake all of the players’ hands for their performances. During his time on the greens, Charlie Woods’s status causes him trouble sometimes.

However, it was worse in February when Woods Jr. was playing a PGA Tour qualifying event. The 15-year-old shot 16-over par 86. Following that fans harassed him as they walked alongside him on the fairways ignoring his personal space. When asked to give some space one fan yelled “Who are you? The fire marshal?”

Tiger Woods also appreciates the head coach as well. Initially, the golfer hugged the two teenage golfers who shot a 66 at the State Championship back in November last year. Following that when the team won the State Championship the golfer walked behind Harbeck and bear-hugged him offering this gesture as a thanks. As Woods Jr. faced difficulties on the PGA Tour qualifiers are things different for him on the high school greens?

Last year Golf.com interviewed Toby Harbeck and asked him how things are for Charlie Woods in high school. Harbeck who is also an English teacher was aware of everything. He shared a story from a random tournament from the 8th hole, a straight-away par-5 lined by condos down the right side in high school golf. “And I’m watching all these doors to the condos opening up and all these people come out because they knew he was there,” he said.

However, weather had disrupted the play and while all the players and coaches were seeking shelter Woods Jr. was still out on the greens signing autographs. Harbeck also talked about another tournament where the photographers tried to click photos without anyone noticing. While talking about it he said “Trust me, there are people in trees taking pictures. Microphones in his face.” As per some latest updates Woods Jr. isn’t part of the Golf Varsity Boys and Golf JV Boys teams.

‘Bruh seriously?!’ Fans stunned by latest Tiger Woods update

By
Tiger Woods Sun Day Red

Tiger Woods has this month dropped a new ‘Cashmere Collection’ over at his Sun Day Red apparel company, but a large number of golf fans have been instantly turned off after seeing the cost involved to purchase any of the items. 

Woods, 48, shocked the world of last year when he announced he was terminating his 27-year deal with sports giant Nike.

The former World No.1 then announced his new Sun Day Red brand, featuring golf clothing and golf shoes.

Woods officially launched Sun Day Red into the golf industry four months ago on 1 May.

While very much a luxury golf brand, a number of Tiger Woods fans have been unable to get involved with their hero’s new gear simply because it costs too much.

Some Woods fans have already complained about the styles and overall quality of products, while others are still coming to terms with the company logo that resembles a Tiger made up of 15 lines paying homage to Woods’ 15 career major titles.

And don’t even start some people on the name of the brand, which of course reflects Woods always wearing red on Sundays during final rounds of tournaments.

When Woods first launched his new Sun Day Red logo to the world, his former long-time coach Butch Harmon joked during a live Sky Sports Golf broadcast that he thought it ‘looked more like Tiger’s spine.’

But back to the top of the story and Woods’ new ‘Cashmere Collection‘ that has just been loaded onto the Sun Day Red website.

The new line features 3D Tour Cashmere Vests, Crew Sweaters and Hoodies.

Prices range from $300 to $375.

The Sun Day Red website states:

‘Our cashmere sweaters and vests are crafted for those who demand the best, both on and off the course. Engineered to reduce pilling and last longer, these have quickly become Tiger’s favorite layering pieces to make a clean, quiet, understated statement.’

Golf fans have been reacting to the new drop of clothing after the update was posted on X / Twitter by the popular NUCLR Golf account.

A number of golf fans have been instantly turned off by the cost involved, even if cashmere is considered a luxury fiber.

Others are struggling to get their heads around how the Sun Day Red logo isn’t even visible on the items other than on the label inside the neck.

Here’s how a number of golf fans have reacted to the new Sun Day Red Cashmere Collection…

Love Tiger to death but nah…

Bruh seriously?! 350 for a hoodie is outrageous!

Far too expensive.

Sun Day Red just goes to show how out of touch Eldrick is…

These keep getting worse and worse…

Great way to grow the game… let’s stick a sweater up at $300.

Where even is the logo?! LOL

Logo is terrible.

Huge tiger fan and I ordered a bunch of the early items. The quality is pretty bad considering their price point and it’s such bland stuff. Minimal logos. etc. really not a fan. Kills me to say.

Love Tiger, dude cannot dress himself off the course.

Honest question apart from Tiger (obvs) has anyone seen another person on earth wearing this?

Might get involved if it comes down in price by 125 dollars!

Big Tiger fan but this look very ordinary.

It’s a hard pass from me.

Ridiculous. Why is anyone giving this guy money for overpriced apparel?

Such a boring line, no thank you. 

What’s the most popular item at Tiger Woods’ Sun Day Red?

One of Tiger Woods’ most popular products at Sun Day Red right now is his new Luare Chain Stitch Hoodie, available for $135.

Luare Chain Stitch Hoodie

Woods last played a competitive tournament when missing the cut at The 152nd Open at Royal Troon in July.

The 15-time major champion has now missed the cut in his last three majors and he finished dead last (60th) of those that made the cut at The Masters in April.

Many consider Woods is coming to the end of his PGA Tour career now, although there is hope he will decide to tee it up on the PGA Tour Champions in two years’ time – once he has reached the age of 50 – where he will be afforded the use of a golf cart.

Woods, now ranked 969th in the world, admits he will likely not tee it up again until his ‘next major’ alongside his son Charlie Woods at the annual PNC Championship just before Christmas.

That will fall at a similar time to when PGA Tour duo Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler battle it out against LIV Golf duo Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka.

That match was confirmed this week.

[VIDEOS] ‘Embarrassing and extremely offensive’: Did Tiger Woods lash out at Kamala Harris over ‘fake Black accent’?

By
Tiger Woods Kamala Harris

While Kamala Harris is being called out by MAGA for her “fake” accent, a purported statement from Tiger Woods disparaging her has gone viral on social media.

While Kamala Harris is being called out by MAGA for her “fake” accent, a purported statement from Tiger Woods disparaging Democratic presidential candidate has gone viral on social media.

The quote comes at a time when videos of Harris speaking at campaign events in Pittsburgh and Detroit on Labor Day went viral on social media.

Trump War Room shared two recordings of Harris, saying that the US VP delivered the exact same phrase in a speech in Detroit and Pittsburgh. “Let’s see if you can spot the difference,” they asked the followers.

Greg Price, a conservative media pundit, also shared video of Harris’ speech, pointing out “two entirely different accents” and calling her “the fakest human being that has ever lived.”

Meanwhile, Internet personality Dom Lucre claimed that Harris had altered her speech to accommodate Black people.

Meanwhile, an X user named @PGATUOR shared a quote allegedly made by the professional golfer.

“Kamala’s fake black accent is embarrassing and extremely offensive. – Tiger Woods,” it states.

The viral post has received over 5 million views and 173K likes. However, the quote has been refuted. The bio section of the page mentions that the original poster is a well-known satirist and parody account. The account also referred to itself as the golf version of The Onion and The Babylon Bee, well-known parody and fake news websites with humorous content.

Uncle Luke reacted to Woods’ fake comments regarding Harris and blasted the American golfer over his hypocrisy. Following this, several people informed the rapper that the quote was phony.

In the comment sections, some Harris supporters blasted Woods, with on saying, “Tiger Woods is a disgrace. A man who never admit that he’s black only get with Karen’s.”

“I’m willing to bet money Tiger Woods never said this,” one of the golfer’s fan said.

“Tiger never said that. This account is satire. Tiger Woods himself doesn’t claim to be black so he wouldn’t be an authority and probably doesn’t care either way,” another added.
