AARP comes after Tiger Woods for ‘retirement’ jab
Tiger Woods on Tuesday joked about possible retirement, saying “I don’t have my AARP card yet.” Well, after a couple days, word got around to your grandparents and their pals. The AARP, surely disappointed that kids today don’t respect their elders, decided to offer up a rejoinder to Woods’ implicit criticism that an AARP card implied the end of the line. Shortly after the first round of the British Open ended, the AARP took direct aim at Woods … and unlike Woods, landed the shot.
Woods had ended the day at 4-over par, not a terrible round in theory but a godawful round given the wide-open conditions at the time he was playing. Now he comes back to this, which has to be like being at a Thanksgiving dinner with your elders where they ask why you can’t be like that nice boy Jordan, except this time the entire world is looking on. It’s enough to make you feel bad for Tiger … and make nice with your grandparents.
