Tiger Woods today granted a five minute interview to ESPN's Tom Rinaldi in Orlando, the first since he crashed his SUV in his driveway last Thanksgiving. You can watch the entire five minute interview here.
Tiger once again refused to answer questions regarding what happened on Thanksgiving night at his home where he crashed his SUV. He still contends the events surrounding Thanksgiving night are between he and his wife. That just does not add up to me. Crashing a car and having affairs with several women are two distinctly different issues. If they are one in the same, then I would assume that Tiger Woods crashed his SUV after getting into a dispute with his wife after she confronted him about having extramarital affairs, something Woods denied happened in his press conference a couple of weeks ago. If they are not one in the same, then I believe Tiger's problems stem deeper than sex addiction. I do not care about the women Tiger has slept with and the motives he had to sleep with them. That stuff is for The View. What matters to me and golf fans is to why he's been away from the game for 5 months.
It has been reported that Tiger underwent treatment for sex addiction at a rehab facility in Mississippi. Quietly, the National Enquirer has also reported that Tiger Woods sought treatment in Arizona for substance abuse of prescription medications after he finished rehab in Mississippi. You can read that story here. In the police report, it was cited that Tiger's wife Elin turned over two prescription drug bottles to police officers at the scene. This along with the fact that Tiger declined to be interviewed by the Florida highway patrol after the accident is more than enough evidence to me that something else is going here.
The events of the past several months do not add up. If you ask me, I believe that Tiger Woods has a problem of abusing prescription medication, which may or may not have possibly lead to other inappropriate actions in Tigers life. But we don't know, and that's the problem. Tiger again controlled this press conference by limiting the time to five minutes. No time for follow-up questions, and no time to get deep into certain issues the public wants to hear about. Tiger again had the opportunity to set the record straight and put this entire thing behind him. Instead it continues to drag on as the Masters gets closer and closer. And that is something I would not want to be hanging over my head as I play the biggest major championship of my career.
