Tiger Woods shared a few thoughts for the critics this past weekend at the Honda Classic. Simply put, Woods stated that those that have criticized his swing in the past, and Rory McIlroy these days, "don't understand the game of golf."
The interview from ASAP Sports after the second round dived into numerous topics surrounding Tiger's play at the Honda Classic (where he eventually finished T-37). However, the most interesting aspect of the interview had to do with criticisms he's faced in the past and what's facing newfound Nike stablemate Rory McIlroy, who walked off the course and quit because his play sucked of a dodgy wisdom tooth on Friday. Here's the entire exchange:
Q. After Rory's withdrawal today, could you give us some insight into what it feels like to have everything you do and say analyzed to death and how he must be feeling right now?
TIGER WOODS: I don't know how he's feeling. But I do understand how that last pa...

Woods in better shape than a year ago
With so much talk about quitting in the middle of a round, Tiger Woods brings his own perspective.
If he had not walked off the course in the middle of the final round at Doral last year, he might not have gone on to win three times on the PGA Tour.

Tiger not won a WGC since 2009

Nicklaus: Tiger will break my record
Tiger Woods was long gone from PGA National when Jack Nicklaus settled into his seat in the NBC Sports tower.

Jack to Tiger: ‘better get going’ to break Major record
Tiger Woods won the US Open in a playoff at Torrey Pines in 2008, to capture his 14th Major title overall. It seemed like it was not a matter of if, but when Tiger would eclipsed Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18. Nearly five years later, Tiger is still stuck on #14, and many believe that he won’t catch the Golden Bear. Nicklaus isn’t one of those people, at least yet. “I still...
McIlroy's way out of mess is to be like Woods
(Eds: With AP Photos.) By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer The statement released by his handlers was almost as bad as the kid's decision to walk out on the tournament.
