访谈录 2010-12-25&12-27 老虎伍兹哥哥指责老虎不给

They had a conversation with Tiger when he was little. And I said, we don't do anything half ass¹. You're either all or you're not at all. And so he loved that.

But just as Tiger's career began to sky rocket, his older brother noticed a change.

When he turned pro², it became more difficult to have time with him. And since then, it’s like, it’s almost as though we don't measure up.

I haven't spoken to Tiger since 2006. We've sent him a couple of letters and I've tried to call a couple of times just to update him on, you know, what's going on with the family. Because we are family, and I've gotten no response.

You haven’t talked to your brother, your blood since 2006, now there has to be something else going on. Was there some tension of some kind? Why would he just cut the family off?

There were reports that I had borrowed money from him and not paid him back, there was a family argument that split the family up. And none of that is true.

In fact, the last time, he says he saw his little brother was at their father’s funeral.

He was gracious enough to allow us to join him on the jet to take my dad to Kansas to bury his remains³. And I remember we came off the jet, walked down the runway, hugged, “hey how you doing?" He went that way with the entourage and we went this way. And that was last I ever saw him.

Earl Woods Jr. says that their father’s death had a major impact on Tiger.

What I saw was that he lost a part of himself. I think that our father was a part of Tiger so much that when he passed, Tiger became lost, that he didn’t know how to fill that void.

And it was really quite sad a lot of people think his brother’s speaking out now because he has, you know, some hard feelings or something towards Tiger, He absolutely defended Tiger, defended his actions, not necessarily defended the actions, but say hey that's not the guy at the core that you've been seeing the past year, we know he's a good guy. And he just wants to reach out to his brother.

And there was no resentment⁴. I’ve just mean, so much has been made about the father-son relationship when Tiger and Earl and how much, you know, energy and time he poured into Tiger. No resentment?

Well, certainly, he says no. He never know for sure, but didn't get the impression at all. They were much older, the siblings⁵ than Tiger was and they were kind of doing their own thing, getting older, Tiger was the little one in the house that got so much attention and looked at what he became. We did reach out to Tiger Woods' management company for some kind of comment. No response to the comments made by his older brother, Earl Woods Jr. You're gonna see a whole lot more on this. Again, going back, it's been a heck of a year for Tiger Woods. “Downfall: The Tiger Woods Scandal” Saturday night 10:00 and Sunday 10:30 p.m. Eastern right here on CNN.
