Golf Journalists to Boycott Tiger Woods Public Statement

The Board of Directors of the Golf Writers Association of America voted Thursday to boycott attending a public statement Tiger Woods will give Friday.

"I cannot stress how strongly our board felt that this should be open to all media and also for the opportunity to question Woods," GWAA president Vartan Kupelian said.

"The position, simply put, is all or none. This is a major story of international scope. To limit the ability of journalists to attend, listen, see and question Woods goes against the grain of everything we believe."
