Here was Bryson’s complete answer, for those so inclined:
Q. Can you explain what happened on the green 7?
BRYSON “So something happened, I mean, nothing crazy, but I had a cameraman who was filming me after I shot a bad bunker shot and smelled a bit of sand, which I shouldn’t have done, that was silly.
“But at the end of the day, he was literally watching me all the way after leaving the bunker, walking next to the green and I was like, ‘Sir, what is the need to look at me for so long? I mean, I understand that it is It’s your job to videotape me, but at the same point, I think we should start protecting our players here compared to showing potential vulnerability and damaging someone’s image. I just don’t think it’s necessarily the right thing. Not that I was going to doing anything wrong is just one of those things that I hope will respect my privacy.
“As much as we are acting, I think we need to also have our moments of privacy when things don’t go our way. I mean, we are in the spotlight. if someone else is in the spotlight, they wouldn’t want that either. It’s just something about respect, I think it’s necessary in that regard. You know, so for me, I feel like it’s one of those things that we had a conversation with, everything was fine after that. ”
Q. Can you explain what you mean by protecting players?
“Well, you know, I feel like when you record someone and catch Tiger at a bad time, you show him that he accidentally does something, or someone else, they just get frustrated because they really care about the game.” It could really hurt them if they catch you at a potentially vulnerable time. We are not necessarily, we do not want to say anything with that, we only care a lot about the game. For that to damage our brand in that way, that is not good in the way we act because if you really know me in person, I am not so bad, I do not think.
“So that’s the question, I hope we can get to the point where everyone understands that we only care so much about the game, we want to do it right, we are passionate about what we do and we want everyone to enjoy entertainment.” We don’t want negative things to come up. “
