"The silliest question anyone can ask is, 'How has this changed you, Tiger?'"

/

John Feinstein says Tiger doesn't need to answer any more questions about Nov. 27th, the answers can be seen in his post-accident behavior.

Look, we all have a pretty good idea what happened Thanksgiving night: His wife confronted him in some way about his serial extra-marital escapades, and he fled the house in a T-shirt, shorts and bare feet clearly in no condition to drive a car. Do we really need to know more than that? No.

The silliest question anyone can ask is, "How has this changed you, Tiger?"

I'll answer that one: Not at all.

He's still an absolute control freak as demonstrated by his first two public appearances since the infamous accident. The Feb. 19 Tiger-and-pony show would have been fall-down funny if it hadn't been so excruciating. It looked like a "Saturday Night Live" skit, Tiger pausing dramatically to check his script and then saying, "I am so sorry," while those in the invited audience -- including his poor mother -- looked as if jumping off a building would be a welcome relief from sitting in that room.

IM'ing With The Commissioners, 2010 Edition

(click on image to enlarge)When Carolyn Bivens stepped down as LPGA Commish, many of you so kindly lamented the demise of this site's IM'ing With The Commissioners, gulp, franchise.

But I'm happy to report that my NSA sources have been able to share this exchange between the PGA Tour's commissioners, Tim Finchem and Tiger Woods. Click on the image to enlarge.

"So maybe I was selfish; call me selfish."

Hard to say without being there, but it sounds like Ernie Els came up with a clever way to not back down from his "selfish" remarks last month at the Accenture Match Play.

You know, to come back to your remark, what I said, I said it because, you know, I just felt the Friday was not the right place for that. We had to play a tournament and I was maybe selfish from my point of view that all I wanted to do was a play golf tournament instead of talking about, you know, his personal life. That's basically what I meant by that. I felt that the Monday would have been great. Friday wasn't great for us. So maybe I was selfish; call me selfish. That's maybe where I'm coming from.

And now, again, you know, questions keep coming. We cannot give you insight because we don't know. I love everybody to stop asking questions about Tiger and his personal life. That's his life; go ask him, basically.

Tiger Messes With Scribbler Golf And Travel Plans By Setting Monday April 5th Press Conference

I do like that he has set it for Monday at 2 p.m., well away from Thursday's start date and normally a quiet day in the media center. Oh wait, it's quiet because half the media is golfing, the other half still trying to get to town!

Still, I'm shocked he's doing it. There will definitely be some awkward moments in that room.

In a real buried lede moment, the interview list includes David Duval on Tuesday. So at least the news cycle from anything Tiger says will only last 24 hours.
