John Daly went on 790 The Zone in Georgia to talk about his work with Ryan Mallett and what do you know, Tiger Woods’ name came up. Daly said he spoke to Tiger at last year’s PGA and while he didn’t say explicitly what they discussed, he “strongly” insinuated that El Tigre had a valid reason for cheating on Elin–he wasn’t getting any at home.
We’ve taken the most interesting part of the interview and paraphrased it below, but the entire part about Tiger is worth a listen.
Mayhem: Did you ever talk to Tiger?
John: I did, last year at the PGA and what we talked about–I couldn’t even fathom of telling you guys because it’s a personal conversation. But it made me relieved of what Tiger was going through….does he have a reason? Yes. And that reason is something I don’t want to talk about. But I told him if you would have come out and told the world what was going on (after the night of the incident) and not listen to your agents…this story would have ended in one day. And he says, I know, I know, I just had to listen to everybody.
Mayhem: John, are you talking about that night or are you talking about afterwards, just so we’re clear?
John: Afterwards, afterwards….
790AM: That there was some way to explain it on some level instead of being eviscerated.
John: Exactly, yea.
John: You’re looking at a guy all the way to his college days, it was golf, golf, golf..he never had a chance to live a life. You know, certain things people go through, certain things you like, certain things you don’t like. He found out late what he really liked….He didn’t have a chance to find out what woman we’re like…until his late teens, 20′s.
Mayhem: Once you put that ring on your finger, you don’t get that opportunity anymore…
John: Well, you should if your wife is good to you and makes loves to you when you want to be made love to….my exes, they didn’t want to have sex anymore. And when that happens, if you’re not going to give it to me, I’m going to get it from somewhere else. Is that adultery? Maybe so. But from what I understand, when you’re married, they’re supposed to give it to you.
Mayhem: Can Tiger Woods go up to a podium or a microphone, and say, here’s the deal, I’m not getting it anymore and quite honestly I’ve had enough?
John: Exactly, that’s what I did
Mayhem: Could he have gotten away with that with his public persona?
John: I think so
Mayhem: Would have worked out better
John: Well, you wouldn’t have 127 or 128 women that said they had sex with Tiger. I mean, if people really believe Tiger sex with 127 women, we’re not as common sense as we think we are.
Well, good to know that John Daly is one horny bastard and that if his wife isn’t giving it to him, he pushes her along until the next gal….that is, until she stabs him or something.
That aside, it’s some very telling stuff about Tiger and his possible “likes and dislikes” about women. We’ll never know the entire story about him and Elin but Daly does give us a glimpse into what was probably a troubled marriage from the start.
