Does Tiger Woods Care About His Consecutive PGA Wins Streak?

Let’s go with “yes”.
It’s seven tour wins in a row for Woods (but not seven straight, for all of you literalists out there). He has traditionally teed it up in Los Angeles each winter at the Nissan Open. He has never won that tournament. So, one might muse, if he wants to keep this particular ball in the air, perhaps he will skip LA.
The word out of Woods’ camp? He’s skipping LA. So, what does Woods say to anyone who might murmur that he is skipping LA to play next in a tourney (the WGA Match-Play starting Feb. 21) more suited to keeping his streak alive? Quoth the Woods:
“People can say whatever they want. That’s their opinion. They are entitled to it.”
Fair enough. And, I am sure, while tongues will wag, Woods has earned a wide berth when it comes to such matters. But it feels a little pussy, which is out of character for Woods.
