Tiger shouldn't have stiffed 10 year old Johnny Football on that autograph years ago.

Not a Tiger fan but that article was pure garbage. Cant understand why a respected writer would stoop to that.

IF Jenkins has a right to write what he feels is right, Tiger has a right to dispute it.

Yes he does. But as I wrote, he should be worrying about his golf game versus maintaining his squeaky clean public image.

These arguments are always dumb. As if tiger has such a one track mind that he can't practice golf and be displeased with a shite article.

Would you say the same if someone were disparaging you to your friends and family? Would you not stick up for yourself?

I guess I should have used a sarcasm emoticon.

I love Dan Jenkins, but that fake interview is not very funny and takes some predictable cheap shots. Tiger should have just ignored it instead of responding though.

I'm not a literary expert, but since the piece was a parody, does that change anything?

Legally, most likely yes. The fact that Jenkins openly stated that it was a fake interview would prevent it from being libelous.

And I the agency's letter to Golf Diagest, they only requested written apology and didn't threaten legal,action.

This is just a way to be able to say what he wants to say to someone (slander them) without getting his arse sued.

I agree. Certainly seems like an out of place attack piece. Including a Tiger impersonator supports that IMO.

I thought the article was a fun read (and Jenkins even made a few great points). Tiger is coming off as a little bitch, which is not surprising.

Tiger is a little bitch, of course he'd come across that way.

Here's a link to a piece on ESPN written by Bob Harig, their golf writer. Interesting read.
