Tiger manages to be an ass even while doing a good deed.

The media and the Tiger Woods Foundation won a round against Tiger Woods today. Minutes before Tiger’s press conference at the AT&T National, Tiger tweeted, “Almost press conference time. I’ll donate one million dollars to the TWFoundation if no one asks me about the leg.”

The very first question asked was about his health and the status of his leg injury. Good for the media for not yielding to his attempt to manipulate them. As soon as the question was asked Tiger smiled and said, “There goes the donation.”

Tiger tweeted after his press conference, “Bet was over after the first question but of course I’m going to give the money to the TWFoundation.”

Just to clarify, I can’t decide if I’m just so sick of Tiger Woods that no matter what he does I’ll think he’s an ass or if his actions today were truly arrogant? I’m sure he’s tired of answering questions about his leg injury but to try and manipulate the press that way… This gives a good insight that he thinks he can buy his way out of any situation he wants. This also gives insight he feels everyone hangs on his every tweet.

Tiger, if the golf world didn’t care about your leg injury, all that you seem to care about… fame, money, and centering the world on you would be gone.

I guess the one good thing is the TW Foundation will receive a one million dollar donation from Tiger. Something it appears he was going to do anyway but he wanted to see if he could get away with something else in the process. Sickening! I wouldn’t be surprised if the TW Foundation pays Tiger Woods thus his “good deed” for a worthy cause is all for show.

For those of you unfamiliar with the TW Foundation:

The Tiger Woods Foundation was started by Tiger and his later father, Earl. In 1996 they built a 35,000 square foot learning center in Southern California for underserved youths. Their vision then and now is to help kids round out their educational opportunities by having college-access type classes. Essentially what this means is they are taking the traditional educational format for kids in grades 5-12 and expanding upon that curriculum in a private setting. The TW Foundation has grown to include to campuses in the Washington D.C. area. The Foundation also awards scholarships to students in need.
