Els: ‘He’s selfish, and you can write that’

ERNIE ELS has criticised Tiger Woods for choosing today to break his silence and face the world.

Woods is making a statement in Florida while the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship – the biggest event of the golfing year so far – is being held in Arizona.

“It’s selfish,” Els told Golf Week magazine. “You can write that. I feel sorry for the sponsor. Mondays are a good day to make statements, not Friday. This takes a lot away from the golf tournament.”
