Woods’ older half-sibling
Kevin Woods has been battling multiple sclerosis and is now confined to a
wheelchair. He needs a caretaker and is in danger of losing his San Jose home.
Tiger Woods’ half-siblings
say their calls for help from the golf superstar have fallen on deaf ears.
Kevin’s brother Earl Woods
Jr. told ESPN’s Rick Reilly that calls to their famous sibling have gone
unreturned.
“I leave messages. I leave
updates on Kevin, but for whatever reason I don’t get a response. … Kevin loves
Tiger. A call from Tiger would really pump Kevin up. When he doesn’t call, it
just makes him feel worse,” Earl Woods Jr. said.
Woods’ rep did not
immediately respond when ABC News requested for comment.
Earl Woods Jr., Kevin
Woods, and their sister Royce, share the same father, Earl Woods, as Tiger.
They are the offspring of Earl Woods’ first marriage to Barbara Gary.
The Woods siblings remained
close with their half-brother until he turned “about 15 or 16,” and his star
started to rise, Earl Woods Jr. said. Since their father’s death in 2006, the
half-siblings have been unable to contact Woods at all. No one seems to know
the reason for the rift.
Now Kevin Woods needs his
famous brother’s help, Earl Woods Jr. says.
“Nobody’s asking for money
here, but [a caregiver] really would be nice for Kevin. It would make Kevin
comfortable. He wouldn’t have to leave his house. … But we’d at least like to
be able to find out how Tiger is, to find out if he’s OK, and to let him know
if we’re OK,” Earl Woods Jr. told Reilly.
Barbara Gary Woods, Earl
Woods’ first wife, told Reilly, “I’m very disappointed in Tiger. Before he got
all famous, they were in touch a lot.”
Earl Woods Jr. was more
vehement.
“I’d like to [slap] Tiger,
wake him up. I’d like to say, ‘Don’t come knocking on the door when you need a
bone-marrow transplant.’ To see this is the response we get? Maybe when you see
the world like he does, you don’t see what other people are going through. But,
seriously? You’ve got problems with your knee? That’s nothing compared to what
Kevin is going through. Nothing,” he said.
his father should take care of his pickin
