Tiger Woods has lashed out at top golf writer Dan Jenkins blasting a parody interview he wrote in Golf Digest magazine as “a grudge-fueled piece of character assassination.”

Jenkins penned “My (Fake) Interview With Tiger — or how it plays out in my mind” in the mag’s December issue. In the piece he fantasizes about asking Tiger why he hasn’t fired his longtime agent Mark Steinberg, and imagines the golfer responding, “I’ll probably get around to it. I like to fire people.”

Jenkins dreams about asking Woods about being a bad tipper, asking the golfer, “In many cases, tips are a part of their salary.” Tiger’s fake response, “So let ’em go find a better job.”

And of reports Tiger is not as close with “best friend” Mark O’Meara, Tiger’s pretend answer, “I’m sorry. I can’t place him. Did he play the tour?”

While insisting he does have a sense of humor, infuriated Woods hit back at Jenkins in the Players’ Tribune, saying in a scathing tirade, “Jenkins faked an interview, which fails as parody . . . Journalistically and ethically, can you sink any lower? . . . This concocted article was below the belt. Good-natured satire is one thing, but no fair-minded writer would put someone in the position of having to publicly deny that he mistreats his friends, takes pleasure in firing people and stiffs on tips.”
