GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) —
Fuzzy Zoeller withdrew from the
Greater Greensboro Chrysler
Classic Wednesday,saying he
could not continue playing golf
until talking with Masters cham
pion Tiger Woods.
Fighting back tears, Zoeller read
a brief statement in which he again
apologized for calling Woods “that
little boy" and urging him not to
request fried chicken and collard
greens at the Champions Dinner
when he returns to Augusta
National next year.
He then shocked a crowd of
reporters by withdrawing from a
tournament he has played in for
21 straight seasons.
“I started this, and I feel
strongly that I have to make things
right with Tiger first before any
thing else," Zoeller said.
“I also regret the distraction this
has caused the world of golf. What
I said is distracting people at this
tournament, and that’s not fair to
the other people on this course try
ing to play this tournament."
Zoeller said he was told not
to answer any questions about
the controversy and left Forest
Oaks Country Club with
reporters trailing.
On Tuesday, Kmart dropped its
longtime sponsorship of the pop
ular golfer.
The Troy, Mich.-based compa
ny said the comments were inap
propriate and offensive, even
though Zoeller said he was only
joking during an interview with
CNN shortly after the final round
at the Masters on April 13.
“Regardless of the context,
they are contrary to Kmart’s long
standing policies that ensure our
words and deeds are without
bias,” Kmart said in a statement.
Zoeller, who issued a public
apology in a statement Monday,
apologized again Tuesday to the
acting president of the North
Carolina chapter of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People while in
Greensboro for this week’s PGA
Tour event.
“People who know me know
I’m a jokester. I just didn’t deliver
the line well,” Zoeller said. “I’m in
a no-win situation. Accept my
apology, please. I apologized to
Tiger. I apologize to anyone I
might have offended.”
Skip Alston of the NAACP
accepted Zoeller’s apology, but
also threatened a boycott of the
tournament.
“He didn’t insult only Tiger
Woods, but the entire African-
American community nation
wide," Alston said, adding that
Zoeller’s comments were not
“funny to us. You don’t pick at our
culture and expect us to laugh."
“It’s a tough situation and I feel
bad for Fuzzy very much,” fellow
golfer Mark O’Meara said Wednes
day. “I know he feels bad. He is tak
ing it very well, but he’s hurting
pretty hard because he feels he’s
always been up front with the media
and the media has always been
good to Fuzzy and then all of the
sudden — boom — this happens.”
The Greensboro Jaycees, who
run the PGA tournament, issued
a statement dissociating the
organization from Zoeller’s com
ments. But they went ahead with
a long-planned tribute to the
golfer Tuesday night because he
played in the tournament 22
years in a row.
Alston said the Jaycees state
ment was “trying to sugarcoat
their position about Mr. Zoeller."
Alston said the NAACP might hold
a protest during the tournament.
Kmart avoided the prospect of
corporate embarrassment by cut
ting its links to Zoeller after
reviewing the comments he made
in the CNN interview.
“That little boy is driving well
and he’s putting well,’’ Zoeller
told CNN about an hour after fin
ishing his round at Augusta,
while Woods was still on the
course completing a 12-stroke
victory. “He’s doing everything it
takes to win. So, you know what
you guys do when he gets in here?
You pat him on the back and say
congratulations and enjoy it and
tell him not to serve fried chicken
next year. Got it?"
Zoeller snapped his fingers,
turned to walk away, then added,
“Or collard greens or whatever
the hell they serve.”
Woods, as defending champi
on, will get to select the menu for
the Champions Dinner next year.
Kmart spokeswoman Shawn
Kahle declined to say how much
Kmart paid Zoeller for the spon
sorship and to have the golfer pro
mote its products. The company
has sponsored him for more than
six years under a contract that
originally was scheduled to expire
in December 1998.
Under his deal with Kmart,
Zoeller carried the company logo
on his golf bag and visor and also
appeared at Kmart events. He
was the only pro golfer spon
sored by Kmart.
Woods was in Portland, Ore.,
Tuesday for private meetings with
Nike, his major sponsor. A local
television station showed him
outside Nike headquarters shoot
ing a promotional spot in which
company chair Phil Knight served
as his caddy.
Woods was not available to the
media for the second day in a row,
and Nike spokesman Jim Small
said he had no comment on
Kmart’s decision.
During an interview with
Oprah Winfrey that will be
broadcast today, Woods said it
bothers him when people call
him an African-American. He is
one-fourth black, one-fourth
Thai, one-fourth Chinese, one-
eighth white and one-eighth
American Indian.
“Growing up," he said, “I came
up with this name: I’m a
‘Cablinasian.’’’

"It hurts me
in track, as far
as being in
shape, and it
hurts me in
football, as far
as knowing
everything
and getting
the reps,”
Jones said.
“Doing them
both in the fall
is hard because I can’t give 100
percent to either one of them. I
try to work hard in both of them,
though, and do the best I can.”
Despite the trials and adjust
ments that hinder Jones’ dual
career, A&M Head Coach Ted
Nelson said Jones is on schedule
and is helping the team.
Jones
“It’s going as we planned,”
Nelson said. “The main thing is,
you sort of lose focus going
between the two sports. He’s
doing well in track, then he goes
to spring training and he loses a
little bit of that focus. It’s about
the time where he’s beginning to
get his focus back on track, which
is good.”
Specifically, Jones’ focus is on
sprints and the long jump, which
Nelson said should continue to
be his strong suits.
“Probably his best even
should be the 200-meters,’’
Nelson said. “But right now, it’s
the 100-meters and the long
jump. He runs a really good sec
ond leg on the 4 x 100 relay. On
most tracks, the second leg nor
mally runs against the wind,
and he^ a big, strong guy and
does a really good job of han
dling that for us.”
Along with his teammates,
Jones concentrates on qualifying
for the NCAA Championships to
help the team have a good show
ing in May.
“I hope we can get him quali
fied for the national meet in the
100 and the long jump,” Nelson
said. “We will probably jump him
one time before the Big 12 meet,
and I think he’ll jump real well at
the Big 12 meet.”
But once the season’s over,
Jones will don his pads and join
the Aggie Football Team for sum
mer drills as he assumes his other
role for the Athletic Department.
“The dedication to play foot
ball and still come out and prac
tice and run track takes a special
kind of person,” said fellow relay
team member Billy Fobbs. “All
we ask is for him to give every
thing he has, and he hasn’t disap
pointed us yet.”
