One only has to Google Fuzzy Zoeller's comment on the following year's dinner...after Tiger's first Master's win.
I don’t believe racism was a large factor in “Tiger hate” prior to his indiscretions. I know many who were turned off by his aloofness. He was well known for refusing autographs, for skipping interviews with lesser known outlets, and for not supporting other members charitable endeavors. Prime example was his refusal to provide Brad Faxon with a few signed articles to support his charity tournament in RI. Every other pro Brad contacted either supported it by participating in the tournament or sending things to be auctioned.
