LOS ANGELES, CA. -- Tiger Woods' agent stood at the back of the U.S. Open news conference on Monday afternoon and began shaking his head from side to side, his expression part grimace, part smile. One of Mark Steinberg's other clients was at the podium, and a pointed question hung in the air as reigning U.S. Open winner Matt Fitzpatrick paused before speaking.
Do you feel like you should be compensated for not going to LIV?
Seconds passed as Fitzpatrick extended an "uhhh" and eventually landed on pleading the fifth.
"Yeah, pass," he said.
