November 30, 2009
SYDNEY, Australia (AP)—John Daly says he doesn’t want to know the reasonsbehind Tiger Woods’ late night car crash.
The dual major winner, who has had his share of off-the-course troubles,told reporters in Australia on Monday he just wants Woods fit and back on thetour.
Daly, who will play in the Australian Open starting Thursday, said hedoesn’t share the public fascination with the facts behind Woods’ accidentoutside his Florida home.
“I don’t really care what happened between Tiger and … whatever happened.I’m just glad he’s OK,” Daly said. “We need him, probably more than anybody onthe tour, to keep things going, the way the economy is.”
According to the Florida Highway Patrol accident report, Woods had justpulled out of his driveway when he struck a fire hydrant and then a tree. Woodslater said he had cuts, bruising and “right now I’m a little sore.”
Daly said whatever physical damage Woods had suffered, he hoped it mendedquickly.
“Tiger’s the biggest asset the tour’s had in a long, long time,” he said.“Whatever happened, as long as he’s OK that’s all that matters. Golf needs himbadly … no doubt.”
Woods is scheduled to compete at his Chevron World Challenge, which startsThursday in Thousand Oaks, California, although his tournament director did notknow Woods’ status for the tournament—whether he would play or even attend.
