Tiger Woods on Intimidated Opponents: That's Their F**king Issue

Thanks to a slew of injuries and off-course issues, Tiger Woods no longer has the claws he used to on the fairway.

Woods used to be an intimidating figure for other golfers to play against – and he’s completely unapologetic about it.

Speaking to golfers at his Tiger Jam charity clinic, Woods said the only thing he worries about on the course is himself – not what his opponent is doing or thinking.

“I can’t control you,” he said. “The only thing I can control is me. Now, if I do this more efficiently than you, if you get intimidated that’s your own f**king issue.”

“If you get intimidated, that’s your own f***ing issue”

“We’re years removed from Woods’s last victory and we’ve seen plenty of the superstar’s fallibility,” according to Golf.com. “But it’s still fascinating to hear Woods address his own aura.”

This is interesting, but we’d prefer to hear him address rumors of a one-on-one showdown with Phil Mickelson for $10 million.
