The Interviews They'd Like Back
Bad jokes, snubs, and moments of brutal honesty from throughout golf history that have merited a mulligan
One of the memorable moments of a wild Sunday at the 2011 Masters was Tiger Woods' post-round interview with CBS' Bill Macatee, a brief, awkward session that seemed to elicit more reaction from fans and writers than the 72 holes that preceded it. Yet for Woods, the interview was hardly the most regrettable of his career; and when compared to some of the other Q-and-A missteps over the years, it wouldn't even register. From hyperbole to political incorrectness to moments of biting honesty, what follows is our compilation of interviews that the subjects would like to have back.

Tiger Woods, 2012
A pre-tournament press conference at the Honda Classic got pretty uncomfortable when Woods was asked about Hank Haney's new book about his time coaching the 14-time major winner. After deflecting two early questions and saying he wouldn't comment on it, Woods got snippy when Golfweek's Alex Miceli asked a third. The awkward exchange ended with Woods forcing a smile and telling the reporter to "have a good day."
