Good Morning America: the expression says it all.
While the rest of the PGA Tour was wandering Innisbrook’s manicured fairways, former world No1 Tiger Woods was in the midst of a multimedia offensive geared towards the promotion of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13, the latest addition to his video game franchise.
There was a brief (and largely unremarkable) Twitter Q&A…
… there was an awkward demo session on Good Morning America, which included a few oblique references to his private life (watch that grin slip into strained, rigor mortis territory around the 2:00 mark) and talk of “The Process”…

…. and a visit to Scott Van Pelt’s ESPN studio, to which I don’t have a link. Who listens to radio, anyway?
If all this to-ing and fro-ing yielded a single soundbite of interest, it was likely this one:
“I’ll be [at the Masters]. Don’t worry about it… I took a few days off. I’ll start hitting balls tomorrow. The stiffness is gone. Hopefully I’ll be ready next week.”
Whirlwind media tour over.

Conor your reaching dude.
Love how the Golf Channel got shut out. That’s not by accident. All the GC does is mindlessly speculate.. so why bother. I’m sure he will at some point..but for now .. now Soup for you GC.
Here’s a link to the Scott Van Pelt thing (never knock a fellow UMd alum, and also it was simulcast on ESPN news)

Basically has medical clearance to hit balls, will do so tomorrow. Also talks about what impresses him most about Rory etc
You know, he did all of this with a swelling Achillies.
I am sure it is a lot harder to do a media tour with a gimpy foot than it is to complete a round of golf.
This might even constitue a chapter in his autobiography after he retires and acheives Gandhi-status as predicted by his dad.
Limo to plane — plane to NY — limo to tv studio –limo back to plane — fly to FLa — limo to home. Guy probably didn’t walk more than 35 yards total. No problem.
