Woods Admits Divorce Has Affected His Game.. full details below ⬇️⬇️
Tiger Woods stood before reporters at the Ridgewood Country Club on Wednesday and for two minutes answered the kinds of questions that golfers are used to answering. The course played long, he said; he drove well.
Then came the kinds of questions that Woods admitted have made playing golf this summer almost impossible at times. Does he still love his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, whose face is splashed across the cover of this week’s People magazine? Has he been able to avoid being distracted by their divorce proceedings, which were completed Monday?
No, Woods said to the second question, confirming what has been obvious to anyone who has seen him string together a summer of wayward tee shots and off-kilter putts.
“It was a lot more difficult than I was letting on,” he said.
On the eve of the Barclays, the first of four tournaments that make up the FedEx Cup playoffs, Woods said that the repeated questions about his personal life, the distraction of going through a divorce and the sadness that goes along with it have made playing golf an almost impossible task.
“As far as my game and practicing, that’s been secondary,” he said. “We’re trying to get our kids situated to our new living conditions and how that’s going to be. That’s where our focus is going to be right now.”
