Tiger And Greg, The Backstory
/Robert Lusetich explains the various backstories in the Norman-Woods-Couples-triangle. Oh, and perhaps why Robert Allenby's name got dragged into the drama too.
Perhaps it’s not surprising, given the bad blood between Norman and Woods, dating to when they shared coach Butch Harmon. Sharing’s a difficult proposition for two men accustomed to getting their way.
“Tiger and Greg don’t speak,” said a source who knows both well. “There’s a lot of animosity between them.”
Indeed, one reason Woods wanted the word spread about the course-record 62 he shot at the Medalist course in Jupiter, Fla., a few weeks ago is that Norman’s best score on the course he co-designed is 64.
It was a classic retaliation at the Great White Shark’s declaration a week beforehand that Woods would never win another major.
