Dan Olsen has since retracted. I actually thought some of his comments had some truth - Mickelson and gambling, drug testing for golfers began a few months AFTER Tiger’s LAST major win, Finchem visting Dustin Johnson’s home to discuss leave, etc.
I also agree that Tiger’s last “back issue” looked like he was faking.
While I don’t think Tiger is the Devil, I think he’s taken some stuff - and if off the record, most of his peers would agree. Which is sort of sad.
Is this hiatus because of a suspension or because of the fact that he doesn’t want to further embarrass himself? I don’t know, but Michael Jordan and the Chicago White Sox come to mind. Just sayin’...
Conspiracy theories aside, can you imagine what his 36 hole total at PGA National would have been? If he somehow finished, my guess would be over 160. From a guy who lives a half hour up the road.
Olsen was probably contacted by the PGA Tour legal office and presented with a few options, the least damaging is what came out in his retraction.
