In the book, the story Tiger told includes the tale of when he was beaten down in the playground by a group of racist white kids.
"I became aware of my racial identity on my first day of school, on my first day of kindergarten. A group of sixth graders tied me to a tree, spray-painted the word 'n-----' on me, and threw rocks at me. That was my first day of school. And the teacher really didn't do much of anything," according to the book.
Decker said she has decided to address the issue five days after the book was released because she was not able to "get through to" Woods.
"I want a public apology and a private apology," she said.
Decker, who is also mentioned in a video about Tiger's life, said she's not looking for any money from Woods.
The retired teacher also said there was no way older students could ever enter the area where the kindergarten kids played.
"Teachers do very hard work. ... It is unfair to get this in return," said Allred, who does not plan to file a lawsuit in regards to the incident.
In addition, the former principal of the Cerritos Elementary School, in Cypress, Calif., where Tiger attended, said he has no knowledge of the incident.
A parent, Linda DaViega, who was always around the school at that time period, also said she has never heard of such an incident happening.

At least he didn’t have sex with his kindergarten teacher.
Ever since the old hippies re-emerged politically in 2003, it’s perfectly acceptable for any member of any minority to complain about racism in his or her past, especially if there wasn’t any.
A great golfer and a scumbag liar. What else is there to say?
So you mean to say we cannot trust the word of a serial adulterer? WOW what is the world coming to.
What? He’s a liar AND a cheat? I’m very surprised! Who is Tiger Woods?
I guess she isn't white.
You mean....Tiger lies?? How can that be???
“At least he didn’t have sex with his kindergarten teacher”
I guess she isn’t white.
What is wrong with these people??
Doesn’t matter if it’s true or not as long as it “supports the narrative” that the msm wants to be true. Fake but accurate...
Don't hold your breath waiting on that one. Tiger is a likely to admit to concocting a racial victimization story as he is to admitting steroid use.
Tiger's a lion cheetah.
They are evil. They hate the truth. They hate God. They hate America. They hate freedom. They hate white people. They hate capitalism. They hate western civilization.
I don’t believe habitual adulterer liars.
No morals, no decency, can’t stand the thought of a solid stable life that they think is ‘boring.’ Stable routine isn’t enough. They need something happening in their life all the time.
So, Tiger lies? Who would have thunk?
This might be a bigger surprise if we did not already know he is a major league liar.
Is “Allred” the notorious “Gloria Allred” who has also represented some of Tiger’s tigresses?
Say it ain’t so! First John Lewis, now Tiger?
In fairness, while I tend not to believe Tiger’s story, the teacher did wait 5 years after the book was published, to refute the story, and just happened to do it at a time when all sorts of people are crawling out of the woodwork with Tiger stories. Because of that, I’m not sure who to believe.
It isn’t good enough for him to be the best golf player in the world. He also has to trash some poor hard working teacher, along with his family. What a spoiled jerk.
