Duval Opens Up About "Gigantic Financial Hit"
/A forthright David Duval was also cryptic about his TMZ-reported foreclosure, saying it was not a foreclosure but instead a long and painful negotiation with his lender that has been resolved.
More of it likely is due to the stress of financial problems at home.
“It’s been a very big distraction,” Duval said. “I have the weight of this on me.”
His wife, Susie, likes to be on the road with him and their children — Brayden and Sienna, along with three children from her previous marriage. She has been dealing with the bank and the home, and hasn’t gone to a tournament with Duval since New Orleans the last week in April. That was the last time Duval made the cut.
“This kind of thing can break us or hold us together, and we’re tighter than ever,” Duval said. “We’re more in love than ever. It’s a hugely stressful time, especially when information is out there that’s inaccurate. She’s been an angel. I think she’s the greatest thing ever. She’s my hero. I tell her that every day.”
"Like a lot of people in the past few years, I made a real estate investment that didn't go well," Duval said. "There is no foreclosure. That is 100 percent wrong but the web site that started that is a gossip site, no more. They never made any attempt to contact me."
Duval said he has been in constant communication with his bank to work out a resolution that will not involve foreclosure. He did not reveal specific details but he said "everyone's happy."
