Tiger is always going to downplay something like this. The joke that Fuzzy Zoeller made was much worse than this (back in 1998) and Tiger shrugged it off. The cover is not in good taste regardless of whether Tiger is going to be upset about. Kelley Tilghman made an unfortunate choice of words but the editor of the magazine made a calculated attempt to highlight the controversy using an inflammatory image.

What's going on, phkusumot? Yeah, Tiger has said he's Cablasian, but most folks consider him Black. He may laugh it off, but I would be offended as the devil. It's tasteless, as you stated, and uncalled for. I know Kelley wasn't wishing him ill-will - she said they're friends - but some things should be kept in private.

It's best to keep quiet and let folks think you are stupid than opening your pie hole and confirming it.

 I agree with you. Personally I wish Tiger were more like Muhammad Ali in his advocacy.
