While people give the critical words to Tiger Woods, Tiger also receives the widespread sympathy from fans at his tournament.
The Number One missed this week’s Chevron World Challenge for his domestic strife.
Woods withdrew from the charity event on Monday, citing injuries from a mysterious car crash outside his Florida home last week as speculation began to escalate over his five-year marriage to Swede Elin Nordegren.
“What happens within his family should be kept within his family,” Los Angeles banker and golf fan Chris Lee told Reuters during Thursday’s opening round at Sherwood Country Club. “He shouldn’t be pressured to discuss it outside his family.
“I don’t think the public has a right to know. But for him to deal with it within his own family and to have to share that story with the world, the tabloids and whatnot, it’s going to be very, very difficult.”
Woods crashed his Cadillac SUV into a fire hydrant and a neighbour’s tree while pulling out of the driveway of his home in Windermere, Florida in the early hours of Friday morning.
He was subsequently issued a traffic ticket for careless driving but he has been widely criticised in the media for his initial delay in giving any statement and his refusal to speak to the investigating authorities for three consecutive days.
“It’s not really our business but because of his position in the golf world, he should have spoken out earlier to address the public and then get it behind him,” student and mother Laura Maggay told Reuters.
“I really feel bad for the family but how I feel about Tiger is maybe a little bit different today than it was a week ago.
“I also feel it might have been a good idea for him just to show up here this week. I understand why he doesn’t want to but this is his golf tournament. A lot of people look up to him.”
