Jim Furyk expects to see Tiger Woods when he shows up for the
Masters from April 8-11.
“If I had to bet, I’d bet we’d see him at
Augusta,” said Furyk Monday before a golf clinic in north
Florida, according to Jacksonville.com.
“Tiger hasn’t come out and made any real public
statements, so it’s hard to figure out. Everyone is guessing
it will be Augusta. Whether he comes out earlier, or there, I have
no idea.”
Furyk also expects the world's top golfer will get a mixed
reaction from fellow players after the scandal that's engulfed his
life since a Thanksgiving night crash outside his Florida home.
“There will be people who probably won’t be as
friendly and people who are. Tiger probably understands that and
realizes that the people who he considers his friends will pat him
on the back and encourage him. It’s been a real life-changing
experience. I’m sure you’ve seen it with friends and
I’ve seen it with friends. Some people take sides. He
probably expects some people to be pretty cold about it and some
will support him and give him encouragement.”
Furyk, ranked fifth on the PGA Tour, has played with Woods
plenty on the tour and as a partner on Ryder Cup and President's
Cup teams.
