more his words to twist and turn and falsely repeat
around the world.
They are doing that anyway.
When he had the exchange with Micelli last month, it was reported all around the world that Tiger gave Micelli the death stare.
When he gave his public apology he was torn to shreds for how rehearsed and insincere it appeared. When he spoke with Bob Harig about his feelings on the book and how he felt betrayed there were people saying, who is he to call out anyone for betrayal? The media complains about how Tiger ignores the fans and won't sign autographs but, he signs autographs at every tournament but, it's not good enough because Phil signs autographs for 20 minutes after each round. They never take into consideration the possible security risks that Tiger has that Phil does not have to worry about. It's oh Tiger is a bad guy. He publicly apologized for his personal business but, nearly 3 years later they are still bringing it up in almost every article written about him. They are still holding it over his head. He WDs from a tournament and explains why he WD and they surmised he quit because he was playing poorly. Hank Haney voluntarily resigned but, people still insist that Tiger fired him, EVEN AFTER HANEY ADMITS HE QUIT IN THE BOOK!
This strategy that he and Mark has have not served him. It's worked against him and it's still working against him. The reason it works against him is because the person he tries to portray to the public is not who he really is. I can always tell when someone is being phoney and I think most of the public can tell when someone is being disingenuous.
The difference is the media and some fans will publicly criticize Tiger for is disingenuous persona but, they will let it slide when it comes to Phil Mickelson and others.
Colin Cowherd had Curtis Strange on his show a few days ago. They said they know Phil is not the person he presents to the public and how they've heard things about how he is away from the cameras.
Tiger is not going to earn any brownie points with anyone being a punching bag. They are not going to voluntarily show him the respect they show other players. He has to start demanding it.
