Tiger Woods wouldn't sign autograph for 10-year-old Johnny Manziel
The least surprising thing I've read all day is that Johnny Manziel was a big Tiger Woods fan growing up.
He told GolfDigest he even had his parents get him a Scotty Cameron putter like Woods had when Manziel was growing up.
"I had everything Tiger," said Manziel. "I wanted to be just like him. I got my dad to get me that Scotty Cameron putter that Tiger used for all of those years. I wanted one exactly like it."
Then he was asked if Tiger really wouldn't sign an autograph for him when he was 10 year old.
"My dad played in a member-guest at Isleworth every year with a friend, and we'd take our family vacation to Orlando. One day I ended up playing with a bunch of kids at the house of Thurman Thomas [Pro Football Hall of Famer], of all people. I think he was friends with some of our family friends.
"Somehow we heard that Tiger was out playing on a nearby course [The Golden Bear Club at Keene's Pointe], so another guy and I ran out there looking for him."
"We saw Tiger on the 16th hole and asked for his autograph, and he said to catch him right after the round. I was sitting about 100 yards from the 18th green, and he drove by in a cart and was pulling his hat really, really low. I remember him saying, 'No autographs today.'"
Tiger being Tiger, basically. But little did he know he was giving a future Heisman trophy winner fodder for a future GolfDigest interview.
