I think it’s pretty safe to say that last Wednesday when Tiger Woods gave his first interview as a single man, there was one questioner in particular who stood out. Her name is Andrea Peyser and she is a columnist for The New York Post. It’s not surprising that she, or someone of her ilk, would show up to ask Tiger the “tough” questions about the dissolution of his marriage.

Her hard-hitting questions, coupled with Tiger’s responses are as follows:

ANDREA PEYSER: Tiger, in today’s People Magazine Elin describes the end of your marriage like a death where she feels grief, she hopes to forgive one day. I’m wondering, do you still love her?

TIGER WOODS: I wish her the best in everything. You know, it’s a sad time in our lives. And we’re looking forward to — in our lives and how we can help our kids the best way we possibly can. And that’s the most important thing.

ANDREA PEYSER: Do you still love her?

TIGER WOODS: That’s the most important thing.

Now, what is so awful and offending about that? Tiger, who rarely if at all, has let on to what is really going on in his personal life, simply ducked the question, which is his right as he has shown, I don’t know, a million times over the past 10 years.

To steal a scene from the Big Lebowski, Ms. Peyser was out of her element.

“So you have no frame of reference. You’re like a child who wanders in to the middle of a movie…”

Ends up, Peyser had her press credentials revoked after an incident at the pro-am. Peyser walked out into the fairway to attempt to interview Woods in the middle of his round. One problem: you can’t just do that, you need to be invited out into the fairway by the player. Hence, press credential revoked.

That’s not the way she saw it, though. She took to her column yesterday to say her piece about how she was wrongfully ejected.

After she asked the question repeatedly if Tiger still loved his wife,”sports bloggers went nuts. One asked how I got credentialed at all. I’d never covered sports!”

Oh, not true, Peyser said. She covered a sex scandal involving the NY Mets. So ha, sports. That should answer all the questions about her credibility. Peyser is a gossip columnist who bears the mask of journalist. She’s Perez Hilton without the pink hair. If you don’t follow protocol, you get kicked out.

It’s amazing she didn’t walk onto the court in the middle of a game and ask Kobe Bryant if he raped that girl in Colorado.

Ryan Ballengee of Press Coverage via Waggle Room wrote up a great piece yesterday about it, concluding with this:

There are about sixty people on the planet that agree with what Woods did, and few of them actually have gotten on Woods’ case about it publicly. A heckler might get their voice through the ropes, but not their person. A credentialed reporter is there to gather a story, not be one. The PGA Tour was right to identify you and withdraw your credential.

To go back, complain about it publicly, and lie about it in printed form shows that the right call was made.

I’ll be by your house tomorrow to bug you for a comment on this report.

Boom, roasted.
