Pat Perez Should Handle Tiger's Damage Control
/He wants to find the young man he shunned coming off the 18th yesterday, can you help him?
Meanwhile, taking analysis of the Tiger-Stevie spat fallout further, Robert Lusetich suggests that the bigger problem with Tiger's caddy firing and the subsequent manspat is that this is one more negative Tiger did not need on his plate.
The acrimony is sure to spill over into the coming week, when both men will be at the year’s final major, the PGA Championship in Atlanta.
Obviously, it’s the last thing Woods needs to deal with as he tries to salvage something of a year that’s shaping as a second straight lost season. But, like the adulterous behavior that devastated his life, this is something he brought upon himself.
If he felt, as some within his camp maintain, that he and Williams were no longer on the same page, then he needed to sit down and explain his feelings. Williams deserved that after 12 years. And he might even have agreed.
But to fire him summarily because he decided to caddie for Scott while Woods was recovering from injuries to his left leg was only going to make a very public enemy out of a friend and supporter.
