Points I'd be fascinated for your opinion of as, you know, a former player, as a media observer and a participant in the media as well, is the extent to which Tiger has been handled with kid gloves by the media over certainly the last 10, 15 years.

You know, the point has been made that he was asked one question really about the crash in February of 21 at Riviera, the day after Riviera, where, you know,

Look, he was in a bad way, so maybe it wasn't the priority at the moment to take a blood sample.

But, you know, there's no indication as to what was in his system.

But equally, the black box in his SUV suggests that, you know, he crossed several lanes of traffic and down a ravine and kept his foot on the accelerator the entire time.

So something was very much amiss there.

He was asked one question about that in a press conference and said, look, it's all in the police report.

And

People kind of comment, as you did earlier, on his appearance being lethargic at times.

But generally, it's kind of just this kind of awkward elephant in the room.

The media will even be, he keeps it that way.

Are we at large, is the media at large, open to severe criticism on this front?

Or do you, I suppose, appreciate it's quite a difficult subject matter to raise either with him or from afar without detailed concrete knowledge?

No, it's very difficult.

I don't know how much time you've ever spent with him or your feel for him as a person.

He's endlessly fascinating for all sorts of reasons.

I kind of thought, you know, he's so notoriously unknowable.

He is, I mean, beyond superhuman on a golf course.

It's an incredible kind of aura that he has.

And then he takes off that hat and he walks off and he's just so fallible as a human being in so many ways.
