Mr. Woods Goes To Washington

He testified today...on a conference call/press conference that only lucky scribblers were invited to (my invites keep getting lost in cyberspace!). After the appearance, Tiger stopped by the White House where he's apparently welcome anytime (Thanks to reader Tim for this):

As for his presser, he was grilled mostly about the Masters. Steve Elling reports and Tiger offers this on his rusty performance:

While his assertion isn't supported much by statistics -- he had the fifth-worst putting numbers and the eighth-worst driving percentage among players who made the cut -- Woods said he and his caddie spoke at several points about how small misses can prove embarrassing at Augusta National, with its humps and swales on mega-fast greens.

"Being off by that one yard is 30 or 40 feet at Augusta," he said. "It seemed to happen all week. Hopefully, the next tournament will be a little sharper than that."

Far more disturing than that, Barry Svrluga reports that Tiger wants his event to stay at Congressional beyond 2014.  Now that's depressing.
