Re: Time's Tiger interview by Lorne Rubenstein

I didn't really get that. the only part that rang a bit false was the bit about not letting opponents see that you're hurt. We've all heard that before but with Tiger, it was like he played up the pain so that we knew it was the only reason he wasn't winning.

The part about Jack's 18 majors not being as important as how quickly he gets them compared to Jack. And the part about the young guns missing a lot of cuts. And the part about external circumstances that led to his sex addiction. etc.

Still seems thin-skinned about televsion commentators too. Not sure who he was slagging.

Excellent interview. I find that Tiger is still the same Tiger, a lot of spin on history to suit himself. Reading it makes me feel like he's trying to manipulate my perception of him.

Great observation, yes lots of spin. Hey I'm no longer a DBag.
It was never about surpassing Jack's 18 Majors ... ya right

Actually, Tiger has been consistent on this fact for 20+ years now, always saying he had Jack's junior records on his wall growing up, not his majors. It's the media (on this one) that has spun it into a different story.

Good to know thanks for posting.

Great interview and now I can start respecting TW after years of thinking he wasn't human. Fatherhood really put his life back to reality and understands he can't or doesn't care to break records as the most important goals.

He never corrected the media on this as it seems Earl spun the original story of Jack picture on the wall with beating his 18 majors . The media ran with it ,would have been a great story .
Now Tiger is now correcting the story since beating Jack's 18 is unobtainable
now. Humm Tiger spin ... I think
