(BUTTON) X Woods furious with parody interview Dan Jenkins’ satirical Q&A “a grudge-fuelled piece of character assasination”, says Tiger Wed, Nov 19, 2014, 15:56 14-time major winner Tiger Woods was incensced after veteran golf writed Dan Jenkins, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, wrote a parody interview for Golfer’s Digest 14-time major winner Tiger Woods was incensced after veteran golf writed Dan Jenkins, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, wrote a parody interview for Golfer’s Digest Tiger Woods has lashed out at veteran golf writer Dan Jenkins for penning a fake satirical interview with the 14-times major winner, describing the parody as “a grudge-fueled piece of character assassination”. Jenkins, who was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2011, wrote the piece for Golf Digest and among various topics he took aim at Woods’ reputation as a bad tipper, his failed marriage and his six-year title drought in the majors. Woods has rarely taken exception to negative articles previously but on Tuesday he responded in a column on Derek Jeter’s website, The Players Tribune (www.theplayerstribune.com). Second Captains IFRAME: https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/track s/177817042&color=ff6600 “Did you read Dan Jenkins’ interview with me in the latest Golf Digest? I hope not. Because it wasn’t me,” Woods wrote in a piece entitled ‘Not True, Not Funny”. “It was some jerk he created to pretend he was talking to me. That’s right, Jenkins faked an interview, which fails as parody, and is really more like a grudge-fueled piece of character assassination. “Journalistically and ethically, can you sink any lower?” Woods went on to say he felt he had a good sense of humour and was “more than willing” to laugh at himself. “In this game, you have to,” he wrote. “I’ve given lots of interviews to journalists in all that time, more than I could count, and some have been good and some not so much. “All athletes know that we will be under scrutiny from the media. But this concocted article was below the belt,” said Woods, who has not played since his missed cut at the PGA Championship in August as he recovers from a back injury. Jenkins wrote his comments in a column titled ‘My (Fake) Interview With Tiger’, followed by an asterisk and the sub-title: ‘Or how it plays out in my mind’. In the article, the 84-year-old Jenkins ‘questioned’ Woods on the car crash in late 2009 that led to revelations about his multiple extramarital affairs and the break-up of his marriage. Q. You haven’t talked about it, but after all of those New York Post front pages during the scandal, what’s the moral of your story? A. That’s easy. Don’t get caught. Q. You named your yacht Privacy. Because you’re a worldwide celebrity, do you really expect and demand privacy? A. I thought about renaming it Serenity, but that pretty much went out the door when the nine-iron hit the window of the Escalade. After Woods had published his response, Jenkins tweeted: “My next column for Tiger: defining parody and satire. I thought I let him off easy.” * Topics: * Dan Jenkins * Tiger Woods * Golf Digest Subscribe.
