How best to get Tiger Woods, pros to open up? Ask them a ‘dad’ question
**Golf stars, like Tiger Woods, guarded but open up to dad talk**
Golfers are notoriously private people but there’s one thing that can get them talking — their kids. Rory McIlroy has been called a “grumpus” by critics but he couldn’t hide his joy as he spoke about the impending birth of his first child with wife Erica Stoll.
Woods, famously guarded about his private life, practically beamed when he was asked about his son’s burgeoning golf talent. He even indulges in dad jokes, responding to a question about playing golf with his son by quipping, “If I’m not playing well, it looks like a good time to quit.”
