ESPN analysts criticize Sabbatini
Once again, the spotlight is on Rory Sabbatini, and not for a good reason
. ESPN analysts criticized Sabbatini's decision to leave Tiger Woods' tournament, the Target World Challenge, early, citing personal reasons. Mike Wilbon said on Monday's edition of Pardon the Interruption: "This guy Rory Sabbatini, he’s a trollish little sleaze. Every thing he does he thinks he’s being cute I think by taking these shots at Tiger, except he looks like a fool. He can never beat him, he’s not as big a figure." Skip Bayless said on Monday's ESPN First Take: "This was beyond stupid to me because t
his was lower than a snake. He had already made an enemy of Tiger, but he just made enemies with the other 14 invitees in this tournament...I loved it early last year when Rory Sabbatini stepped up and had the guts to tell the truth about Tiger that he was at that point ‘more beatable than ever.’ But Tiger humiliated him head-to-head and if that’s the way you feel, if your ashamed, then don’t accept an invitation to the guy’s tournament. Just turn it down."
