A journeyman professional golfer who has spent time recently giving lessons and caddying said in a radio interview that
Tiger Woods has been suspended for a month by the PGA Tour -- a claim that the tour and Woods' agent vehemently deny.
Dan Olsen, 48, who last played on tour at the 2011 PGA Championship, told 730AM The Game in Lansing, Michigan, on Friday that "I heard he's on a month's suspension. ... It's kind of a strong witness. It's a credible person who is telling me this."
Olsen backed off Monday, telling ESPN.com's Michael Collins that "it was only my opinion."
"Everything I said on that radio interview was only my opinion and not based on any firsthand knowledge or facts," Olsen told ESPN.com. "I want to make a full retraction to everything I said for the entire radio interview, and I apologize to Tiger, Nike, Phil [Mickelson], [commissioner] Tim Finchem and the PGA Tour."
