Jack Won't Be Watching Tiger Or Any Golf Unless By Accident

I think it's fair to say Jack Nicklaus has watched enough golf in his life that he's earned the right. Still, as someone who has many business interests in the game and has lobbied for things that make golf a healthier sport, his comments prior to the PNC Father/Son/Stepson/Grandson/Step-Grandson Challenge did not exactly inspire confidence.

Golfweek's Kevin Casey with the Golden Bear's comments when asked if he's doing to be watching Tiger's comeback.

“I’m not interested at all,” Nicklaus said.

Tell us how you really feel, Jack.

OK, but don’t take that to mean the Golden Bear has suddenly grown callous here. Nicklaus is not indifferent to the success of Woods, who is still chasing the Golden Bear’s record of 18 majors. The 77-year-old clarified that he does hope the best for Woods: just don’t expect him to be a TV viewer … for any golf for that matter.

“Do I wish (Tiger) well? Yeah, but I’m not interested in watching him,” Nicklaus said. “I’ve watched him play golf for 20-something years, why would I want to go watch more? I don’t watch anybody play golf.”
