It's not like this is the first time anyone has brought it up. I think it's about time a golfer has said something about it.
Actually as an 8 time major winner and still a huge force as a senior, Tom Watson is absolutely the PERFECT guy to bring this up. Coming from a, say, Harrison Frazar or a J.B. Holmes, such a statement wouldn't carry much weight. Coming from a living legend of Tom Watson's stature, and a living legend that had some of his marital and substance abuse warts exposed during his lifetime, I think it is a statement Woods might consider and act on.
