Donna, they had a relationship as adults. I believe Tiger was 21 when he won The Masters. Jr says he was there. They also attended Tiger's wedding.
I'm not sure which article you've read but, the article that is the topic of discussion is the one Missygirl posted. Jr. is not asking Tiger for money for himself. Royce & Jr are asking for Tiger to assist them with their sick brother. There's a difference, at least to me. As for his relationship with Cheyenne I admit I've only read a few interviews from her but, I have never heard her mention Tiger's name without being asked specifically about Tiger and I've never heard Tiger speak about Cheyenne unless he is asked about her. I remember one interview she said she removed everything from her bio that would associate with Tiger because she wanted to be her own person. I have a hunch that Mark Steinberg will represent Cheyenne when she turns pro so I can see why that relationship would be encouraged.

Beat, we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.   I think Earl Jr is a slimeball and his comment about don't come to us when you need a bone marrow transplant is just an example of how two-faced he is.

Just want to point out that Earl Jr was in attendance at the Masters with his FATHER, who was still alive then.   My Dad died last New Year's Day and from the moment he passed away, there are two relatives that I have completely cut out of my life.  When Dad was alive, because they were his family, we gritted our teeth and were polite but there's no need anymore to fake it.

I'm sorry Kevin is ill.   As you know from previous postings, my sister is completely bedridden with MS and on disability.   None of us are rich like Tiger but some of us have helped out on occasion.   Others don't feel the need to do so.   It's a personal decision based on their own life experiences and relationship with Jean.   I would never, ever publicly call them down for their choices.   FAMILY doesn't do that.

For Earl Jr to claim family ties and responsibility while trashing Tiger's reputation publicly is pot meet kettle, in my opinion.

In article posted... Cheyenne visited Tiger during her Thanksgiving break.

Also when Tiger won in December she was on twitter congratulating him.

A interview that she gave after she won last year she was saying that Tiger

had given her some pointers that lead to her win.

I believe that they have a closer relationship than with her other family.

Who knows anymore....Tiger just give them some money and if you want a

relationship do so, if not don't.

 

 

No one has thought to why Tiger stop talking to them!!!

I have said it before..... There might have been some

tension or an agrument that lead to this... You never

know.. now do you?

Hopefully Kevin will be ok...

We have heard from Earl Jr. before.  Perhaps Tiger doesn't consider them his brothers..... I don't consider the children of my father's family my siblings .... as far as I am concerned they have no relationship to me at all.  It is just the way it is sometimes --- I don't like them for the people they are, have no respect for them for the things they do, and wouldn't help them at all.  And just to cave in and give them money to stop them from talking to the media isn't going to work -- if they had ever had a true relationship, Earl wouldn't have to be going to the papers believe me.

"My Dad died last New Year's Day and from the moment he passed away, there are two relatives that I have completely cut out of my life.  When Dad was alive, because they were his family, we gritted our teeth and were polite but there's no need anymore to fake it"

I'm sorry to hear about your dad!

However this was your prerogative to not have these people in your life? I believe so...

So why can't Tiger have the same option?

 

I'm sorry this was meant for Kloudy!!! :)

  As a  TTF, Tiger has the right to interact with his family the way he deemed correct.    It is a shame this type of item makes the news around the time of the first major of the year in professional golf.       :(

 

 

 

There was a relationship there before so it's not the same circumstances with your family. They even mentioned in the radio interview that Kevin used to caddie for Tiger. I don't pretend to know what happened with him and his brothers and sister that's between them. I only hope they work it out.

This just shows that Tiger is also a regular guy. Just like 95% of us he has some bum relatives who do not mind hurting him so long as they can get some money out of it. On the eve of his potential return to his winning ways in the masters they sell a story like this because they know along with the buyer that if Tiger pays attention to the hate, it could throw him psychologically off and ruin his chances of returning to his winning ways in the masters.  WOW what loving relatives. I would recommend that Tiger keeps as far as he possible can from these types of loving relatives and totally focus on his game and the people around him who truely love him.  I hope Tiger remembers that he needs to focus on the people who love him not the haters. Both types of people will always be around and it is just up to him to focus on the right one.
