It appears it also won’t be a good day for Nick Faldo.
Upon further review, Faldo completely changed his tune on CBS regarding the Tiger Woods controversy. He now understands how it all came down.
Carry on, old chap.
Wow.
Just a refresher, this is what Faldo said on the Golf Channel earlier in the day:
“There’s absolutely no intention to try and drop that as close to the divot. Absolutely none at all.”
“This is dreadful … in black and white – and that is the greatest thing about our game, our rules are very much black and white – that’s a breach of the rules. Simple as that.”
“Sometimes the black-and-white factual of them is harsh, but I think Tiger would gain massive Brownie points if he stood up and said, ‘You know, you’re right guys. I clearly have broken the rules and I’ll walk, I’ll see you next week.’”
“This one has clearly changed the lie of the golf ball. Absolutely clearly.”
“He should really sit down and think about this and the mark this will leave on his career, his legacy, everything.”
*****
Well, speaking of legacy, Faldo’s career likely will be linked to this reversal. Do you think somebody at Augusta National talked to the three-time Masters winner?
Faldo is getting ripped on social media. Among the tweeters were CBS’ own Doug Gottlieb.
@GottliebShow: Who knew Nick Faldo was a cover cornerback? Impressive back peddle from this AM until now#Tiger#CBS
Yep, Gottlieb might get a phone call from someone at CBS Sports over that tweet.
Please, this is case of white golfer Faldo demanding from protected class of Black People to self DQ. This is sacrilege; this is like questioning Holocaust in Germany or asking Obama for his University Transcripts or birth certificate, like calling Jews “bloodsuckers”.
If Woods were a White Christian golfer he would be disqualified, pronto! No doubts about that. Woods is untouchable like tennis monster Serena , the Steroids Doper, Williams.
I think Faldo will be fired, that’s why he changed his tone afternoon…
