Zoeller is a jerk. The same type of jerk you meet who says something totally inappropriate, rude, or obnoxious, and then when called on it, they try to play the innocent victim with: "I was only pullin' your chain!" or the more offensive "I was only breakin your ba^^s!"

I hate guys like that.

"After finishing tied for 34th place with a score of 78, Zoeller, referring to the following year's Master's Club Champion's Dinner, for which the defending champion selects the menu, said, "He's doing quite well, pretty impressive. That little boy is driving well and he's putting well. He's doing everything it takes to win. So, you know what you guys do when he gets in here? You pat him on the back and say congratulations and enjoy it and tell him not to serve fried chicken next year. Got it." Zoeller then smiled, snapped his fingers, and walked away before turning and adding, "or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve."[2] K-Mart and Dunlop ceased sponsoring Zoeller after the incident.[3][4] "I know Fuzzy, and it was obvious to me that he was attempting to be funny," number-one ranked golf pro Tom Lehman said. "He probably would have said the same thing to Tiger's face and they both would have yukked it up...[But] it wasn't the best timing, and it wasn't in good taste. It's not appropriate."[2] "I've been on the tour for 23 years and anybody who knows me knows that I am a jokester," Zoeller said. "It's too bad that something I said in jest was turned into something it's not."

As if you’ve never made an inappropriate joke in public.

Tiger had a chance to take the high ground and accept Fuzzy’s apology. Instead, he showed his true character. I’ve had no respect for him since then.

But I understand you wanting to stand up for Obama’s buddy http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=3695226 who participated in Barak’s coronation ceremonies. http://maggiesnotebook.blogspot.com/2009/07/tiger-woods-obama-inaugural-video.html
