Should Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson be friends?
Golf Digest has an interesting article analyzing the rivalry between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. To get a sense of their relationship, listen to this one-liner from Tiger discussed in the article:
“During one of Phil’s paternity breaks, someone out on the practice range mused aloud, ‘I wonder what Mickelson’s been doing all these months?’
‘Breast-feeding,’ Tiger said.”
And then there’s this slam on Ernie Els purportedly from Tiger:
“Tiger certainly doesn’t hate Ernie — other than some of his former agents, who could hate Ernie? — but, before heading out with Els to play the third round at Hoylake in 2006, Woods turned to somebody on the practice putting green and said coldly, ‘If I can break this big guy’s heart just one more time, maybe he’ll go away and stay away.'”
