There are more important things than golf, says Tiger

(Reuters) - American Tiger Woods sought to put the cancellations of a slew of golf tournaments due to the coronavirus into perspective on Monday, saying the well-being of others trumped the sport.

 

"There are a lot more important things in life than a golf tournament right now," the 15-times major champion wrote on Twitter.

 

"We need to be safe, smart and do what is best for ourselves, our loved ones and our community."

 

Woods, 44, has been struggling recently with pain in his surgically-repaired back but had hoped to defend the Masters title he won last year at Augusta National next month.

 

Last week organisers of the year's first major postponed the tournament in the hopes of helping slow the spread of the growing pandemic.

 

The decision to postpone the year's first major came the day after the PGA Tour cancelled the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Florida after one round and all events through April 5.

 

Woods' remarks came on the heels of the Centers for Disease Control recommendation on Sunday that events of 50 or more people should be cancelled for the next eight weeks throughout the United States.

 

The coronavirus pandemic has infected almost 180,000 people and killed over 7,000 worldwide.

Ok, thank you Tiger.

 

I like watching him play golf, but he is a well known cheap skate.

He could make his comments more valuable by making some type of a donation

to help some of the tour support staff or others that need help.

The guy is almost a billionaire, hey maybe 10 million from Tiger helping others.

Blasphemy.  Wash your mouth out with soap immediately.

Too lenient. Make him lie on a bed of bindi-eyes and cockleburrs for 24 hours, with the option of being parked above a bullant nest.

He's a phony in every aspect of his life. Bottom line...this will benefit him in that his back will have more time to heal before the next major or postponed Masters and that is all he cares about.

 

Word.

Have you noticed the one feature they all have in common, including his wife?

It is too obvious to be ignored.

The graphic shows a child-like man surrounded by girls who look like the old Hollywood "White Goddess" in her many manifestations.
