Stupid Press Questions – Tiger Woods Edition

Just before hitting the road for home today I watched a bit of the Tiger Woods presser on Golf Channel, from Doral and the WGC Cadillac Championship.

I wonder how long some of the scribes work on their questions or even think about what they are saying sometimes. For instance, this great one today:

Scribe

“Tiger, are you on track for the Masters?”

Woods

“Absolutely.”

Um, what answer would one suspect Tiger would give? Here’s an alternative:

Scribe

“Tiger, are you on track for the Masters?”

Woods

“Actually I’m glad you asked. I have no confidence in my game at all, especially after shooting a 62 in last Sunday’s final round. I’m announcing today that rather than embarrassing myself at Augusta, I’ve decided to decline my invitation to the Masters..”

Tiger is set to make a big run back to the top.

I was at Doral during the practice round on Tuesday and his swing is starting to shape up nicely. The only issue that is going to plague him is staying in forward flexion too long on the downswing just before impact. If he fixes that and starts putting better then watch out.
