20.11 Tiger Woods:
Forbannet på Dan Jenkins og Golf
Digest
Tiger Woods var tidligere Golf Digests stjernespiller og hovedperson. Bladet
tjente millioner av dollar på navnet Tiger Woods. Etter parodiartikkelen i
desembernummeret, som
minnet om mer om et brutalt journalistisk karakterdrap enn underholdning, har Tiger reagert
kraftig.
Tiger Woods hadde til orientering sin egen spalte hver måned i Golf Digest fra
1997 til 2010. Det samarbeidet blir neppe gjenopptatt etter Dan Jenkins
artikkel.
"Intervjuet"
Det var følgende intervju i Golf Digests desembernummer som har gjort Tiger Woods forbannet: KLIKK

Sendte klage til GD
Tiger Woods sendte via sin manager Mark Steinberg en klage til Golf Digest hvor
det heter:
“Jenkins implies in the piece he was declined for an interview with Tiger. But
no such request was made, at least not recently. Shouldn’t he have done that
before making up an interview?”
Videre i klagen fra 12. november står det også: "Jenkins claimed Woods has
contempt for tipping, enjoys firing employees, is unable to make business
decisions, isn’t smart, disregards his friends and is personally dishonest."
Videre: “These things aren’t jokes, they are character slanders and ones for
which Jenkins has no basis whatsoever.”
Golf Digest svarer følgende på Tigers klage over den nedverdigende artikkelen:
"The Q&A is clearly labeled as 'fake,' both on our cover and in the headline.
The article stands on its own."

Tigers egen artikkel i The Players' Tribune
Tiger er ikke nådig mot Dan Jenkins (84) i sitt svar på The Players' Tribune.
"Whether it’s misreported information or opinions I think are way off base, I
let plenty of things slide,” skriver Tiger på ThePlayersTribune.com tirsdag.
“But this time I can’t do that.”
The Palyers' Tribune er et medium hvor profesjonelle idrettsutøvere kan ha
kontakt med fansen.
Han skriver blant annet; Journalistically and ethically, can you sink any lower?,
under beltestedet og han siterer litt fra artikkelen til Dan Jenkins for dem som
ikke har lest den:
Dan: “Why haven’t you fired Steiny, by the way? You’ve fired everybody else
…”
Tiger: “I’ll probably get around to it. I like to fire people …”
Dan: “In many cases, tips are a part of their salary.”
Tiger: “So let ‘em go find a better job.”
Dan: “Marko (O’Meara) was your best friend in golf at one time.”
Tiger: “I’m sorry. I can’t place him. Did he play the tour?”
Tiger skriver også:
"I guess Golf Digest’s editors believe this is a good way to sell more
magazines. I’ll bet their readers don’t think so. Funny they didn’t think this
poorly of me when I worked with the magazine. I have to say I was surprised when
I saw this piece came from Jenkins, who is one of the most distinguished golf
writers out there."
