CBS Sports execs navigating Tiger Woods' Masters minefield
New York Post • • nation
Key Points:
- CBS Sports executives declined to speculate on whether Tiger Woods will compete in the Masters next week following his recent DUI arrest and rollover car crash near his Florida home.
- CBS Sports president David Berson emphasized the priority of Woods' health and stated that any updates about Woods' participation should come from Woods and his team, not the broadcaster.
- The Masters tournament begins April 9, with CBS covering the event for the 71st consecutive year, focusing primarily on the tournament itself rather than Woods' personal situation.
- Woods had been considered a potential participant in the Masters after recently returning to competitive golf, but his involvement is now uncertain due to the incident.
- CBS plans to address Woods' legacy and any relevant news as necessary but will maintain focus on tournament coverage during the event.
