After he won the Masters for the first time in 1997, President Clinton asked him to appear with him at Shea Stadium for a ceremony commemorating Jackie Robinson. Woods said, sorry, but he had longstanding plans with friends in Mexico. Many people — including some conservatives — thought that this was hugely disrespectful to the president, and an insult to the memory of Robinson, the great pioneer. Woods was unmoved. .

While not widlely reported, Woods confided in friends that he know Klinton was trying to use him for nothing more than a photo-op and Tiger wanted no part of it.

More top level athelets should be more like Woods. Do your job, and shut up. To many think they are far more important than they are and try to inject themselves in places they do not belong. Tiger, thus far, has kept his actions on the course. Lets hope he continues this.
