Woods Is Willing to ‘Move On’

Tiger Woods said Thursday he was stunned by Fuzzy Zoeller’s racially insensitive remarks but believes no offense was intended and accepts Zoeller’s apology.

“At first, I was shocked to hear that Fuzzy Zoeller made these unfortunate remarks,” Woods said in a statement released by the Los Angeles office of IMG, his management agency. “His attempt at humor was out-of-bounds, and I was disappointed by it.

“But having played golf with Fuzzy, I know he is a jokester; and I have concluded that no personal animosity toward me was intended.

“I respect Fuzzy as a golfer and as a person, and for the many good things he has done for others throughout his career. I know he feels badly about the remarks. We all make mistakes, and it is time to move on.

“I accept Fuzzy’s apology and hope everyone can now put this behind us.”
