Golf Hall of Fame Inductees Peter Alliss and Dan Jenkins Use Their Press Conference to Bash Tiger Woods

“I do not understand the thinking of Tiger Woods,” Alliss said. “I think his golfing brain, for some reason or other, is completely addled.

“Perhaps the good part of his brain for a period drained from here, down to here,” Alliss said, motioning from his head to his groin. “And that caused him great distress, probably a modicum of enjoyment at the time. But he’s gone.”

Alliss also knows the cure to what ails Tiger’s Major-less streak.

“I’m not saying I’m a great teaching guru, but I’d love to have about a half an hour [with Woods]. If he couldn’t be put right in an hour, I’d go home and stick my head in a bucket of ice water, because it’s so simple. You stand and you swing.”

Jenkins did have as much material on Tiger, but had more finality in his criticism.

Asked if he believed Woods will win another five majors and pass Nicklaus’ record, Jenkins didn’t hesitate.

“No,” he said. “Next question.”

Alliss does commentary for the BBC and played in eight Ryder Cups. Jenkins wrote for Sports Illustrated and Golf Digest. [Golf Channel]
