Brandel: Since The Miceli Run-In, Tiger Has Become More Amiable, Even Pairable
/From yesterday's Golf Channel/Ryder Cup conference call, Brandel Chamblee talking about the kinder, gentler Tiger Woods we've seen in the second half of 2012 and how Tiger might even make a semi-decent Ryder Cup partner for someone.
Brandel on Tiger for the team room bulletin board:
And also from the perspective that I think he's become more amiable. I think he has a different perspective now. He's looking around, to Johnny's point and saying, what is my legacy going to be, and am I going to have relationships with these people later in life.
It's been interesting. It's been fun to watch Tiger Woods in his post‑round remarks, maybe since the Honda when he had that little tiff with Alex Miceli. But since then, he's been a different guy, and I think the players recognize that.
I think that's going to help him in his Ryder Cup experience, because he's going to be more of the leader that Seve was that took lesser players like Manuel Piñero and made them getter; Gilford, made him better; José, made him better.
Tiger's never done that before in a Ryder Cup. You've [got] to make rookies better in a Ryder Cup situation.
