Tiger Woods gives Twitter a try
Share This Story
Tiger Woods is now on Twitter.
Returning from a two-week trip to Asia and Australia, Woods posted his first tweet on Wednesday: ''What's up everyone. Finally decided to try out twitter!''
The Twitter account actually was launched in June, the name — ''TigerWoods'' — reserved about a year before that. The previous three tweets were to announce a new twitter page, website design and Facebook page.
The first tweet from Woods came at 11:08 a.m. Woods had just over 90,000 followers then, and within three hours, he had added over 40,000 more. A person confirmed that he was typing the tweet himself, and Woods added this: ''Yep, it's me. I think I like this twitter thing. You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the love.''
''Tiger wants to do some things a little differently moving forward,'' said Mark Steinberg, his agent at IMG. ''He wants to be a little more connected to the fans, and this is just one new addition.''
Woods is scheduled to be a guest for two segments Thursday on ESPN Radio's ''Mike & Mike in the Morning.'' Steinberg said it has not been decided if Woods will make an appearance on television during the next few weeks.
