Other media notice Tiger Woods’ silence on Barack Obama in Nov.5 newsletter
News: The Golf Blog may have been the first to report the noticeable omission in Tiger Woods’s newsletter the day after the Election. Now, the Chicago Sun Times is covering it, too.
OK, it is possible that the Nov.5 newsletter from Tiger Woods was prepared before the Election. But it is very surprising that Tiger Woods still hasn’t issued an official statement yet, even after so many of the most important athletes have. Tiger Woods is the most important, more recognizable athlete of this generation in the entire world. Forbes magazine says Tiger will be the first athlete to reach the $1 billion mark. Tiger has broken down barriers for so many young golfers. It is just surprising that not even a press release was sent out by Tiger Woods’s PR people.

1. Serena Williams
2. Venus Williams
3. LeBron James
4. NBA commissioner David Stern
