Tiger

 

 

Like most people, I have been following the stories about Tiger that have unfolded the last couple weeks. I have chosen not to address the issue publicly because he and Elin are both friends of mine.  However, with the most recent developments and an increased number of requests from the media for a comment, this is all I have to say.

I am disappointed in Tiger’s actions and I feel very sorry for Elin and the children. I wish them all the best as they try to work through this privately as a family.

As always, you have responded with honesty and discretion; why, in fact, you are such an amazing role model - for golfers, for children and for women all around the world.

[Leonard Basinger]

I know that you have found yourself in a very difficult situation. No matter what the circumstances, taking either side is like traversing a mine field. However, your comments were very appropriate and demonstrated a your strong emotional concerns for both parties. Knowing your moral character, I thought you were rather reserved. But that is your nature.

One word - karma. I'm very sad for Elin, the children, and the game of golf.

[Christine]

Spoken with truth and sensitivity, Annika.
I too am sorry for the Woods family and for golf.

Annika,your comments are spoken as a friend with care & concern. Thanks for taking the time to post your response.

[Joni Granwehr]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Annika. They echo my own, and for the sake of the family, and the children, in particular, I hope they can find the way to have trust restored.

Well spoken,Annika,
The PGA will feel the TV viewer impact
as did the LPGA when you "stepped away"...
let's all have compassion for the Woods family and let them resolve this PRIVATELY!!!
As Mr. Nicklaus said, "It's not our business"!!
Blessed Holidays to All...

[Miwa Okamoto]

Annika, your comment is always smart.
Lots of golfger shocked about Tiger.
Hope he will be a nice husbund, father and human!! He is still young and will change a lot!!

As usual, classy, Anika, classy. You needed to speak and you ahve said enough...

Now... Tell us more about Olympic golf!

[Kent Svensson]

Its a classic relationship?

[Golf54deciple]

A little of the subject, but noticed your tweet about "your" caddie Terrys' win in Dubai.

I feel the same way when thinking of TMac...doesn't seem like he's really anybody else's caddie...

Well said Annika...wished the media had left this alone from day one. Sad thing is the majority of the public and media forget that professional athletes and celebrities are normal people to and behind closed doors have the same problems as regular average people. I dated a professional golfer and I can honestly say we had the same problems as my regular friends had in their relationships. I wish the Woods family peace in their time of healing and working through this matter.

Annika, thank you for addressing the Woods matter in such a classy way. I feel sorry for the family and especially the children. It is a time of healing and hopefully that can occur. You are the remaining consummate icon, role model in the golf industry. A very "fish bowl" position to be a public icon. However, if it were not for the adoration, respect, and your willingness to bond with the media and fans, you would not be in the position to have a positive influence transcending all generations. Keep up the marvelous work you do. You have a gift and in sharing that gift with your fans, friends and especially your family you are truly blessed. Thank you. Also, have requested Santa for Annika fragrance as well as a bottle of Syrah Wine. I understand he found the web site. Yea!! Have a wonderful holiday and truly enjoy Ava, Mike and your entire family. prandall p.s. please send some pic's.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Family is the most important aspect of our lives.

[Anna Lesemann]

I am right with you. I think that Tiger's personal problems don't need to be told about even though peolpe want to know thing. I think he should try to work through this and not geta divorce arond this holday season.

Last Christmas was a time of personal sadness for me, and has been a year of work on myself, miracles, and truly wonderful changes in my life, making this holiday very special and positive. Hopefully Tiger will have a similar year, growing from his experience and reaping similar rewards. It is very possible. Annika, you will always be a source of strength and joy for me.
