Tiger Woods Refuses to Help Sick Brother
It’s been a spectacular year for Tiger Woods, who just made a huge comeback after winning his first PGA tour in 2 1/2 years. Now, ESPN reports that Woods is refusing to help his ill brother.
Kevin Woods, 52, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2009 after being unable to work for years, is now in danger of losing his home, and hasn’t seen a penny from his younger, famous brother Tiger Woods.
Tiger Woods other half brother Earl Jr. and sister Royce spoke out to ESPN about the distressing situation that’s happening with the family, or according to Earl, not happening.
“I leave messages,” Earl Jr. told ESPN. “I leave updates on Kevin, but for whatever reason I don’t get a response.Kevin loves Tiger. A call from Tiger would really pump Kevin up. When he doesn’t call, it just makes him feel worse. I’d like to [slap] Tiger, wake him up.”
Surprisingly enough Earl Jr and Kevin, who are both sons of Tiger’s late father Earl Woods from his first marriage, have not heard from Tiger at all since the 2006 passing of their father.
Earl Jr goes on to say to ESPN about the neglectful situation, “We haven’t asked Tiger for a dime. Not even tickets to a tournament. But Kevin’s losing his home. He needs a caregiver and he can’t have a caregiver and keep his home at the same time. And we can’t do that. We don’t have the means.”
