Nicely done by our chief Ireland correspondent:)
Brian Keogh, who will be a dad soon, has this great interview with Paddy on Cheetah…err…Tiger. From the article:
“I’M AMAZED by the fact I’m out on Tour and knew nothing. I must have my head in a hole or something like that. Seemingly nobody knew anything. That just amazes me. I thought the guy had a particularly, I’m loathe to use the word, but let’s say quiet life. He seemed to go back to his hotel room every night….If somebody goes down that road [womanising], you usually can tell because of who they are talking to or hanging out with. There’s a bravado in it and all that sort of stuff. That’s what fellows are like. They have a few drinks and they are telling everybody. There was no indication whatsoever of Tiger doing that.”
Most importantly, Paddy doesn’t believe any rumors swirling about any untoward conduct involving Dr. Galea and Tiger:
“I don’t see why it would have any repercussions on the rest of golf. At this very moment, I’m putting that down as a total coincidence. Tiger sought to use a doctor who was on the cutting edge of rehab. Obviously, it hasn’t been proved, it looks like they’re saying the doctor crossed the line in that cutting edge but he’s saying there’s a bit of confusion.
At this stage, I’d see no particular link. I’ve met Tiger’s trainer and I’d believe from meeting that man that he’s above reproach. I’d suggest there’s not much Tiger does in his training life that hasn’t gone through him and he’s an experienced man who’s been in the game a long time. From the conversations I’ve had with him, I believe he wouldn’t let Tiger go down the wrong road.”
Great stuff as always Bri.
