Tiger Woods made the rounds on Monday to promote his new book, “The 1997 Masters: My Story,” and his best stop might have been on the late edition of ESPN’s “SportsCenter” with Scott Van Pelt. These two go way back, and Van Pelt might be one of the few media members who can bust Woods’ chops.
On Monday, he teased Woods about his receding hairline, and deservedly so. Look at this screengrab from Woods’ media tour on Monday. Where did it all go, Tiger?!

Van Pelt dove right in at the end of their chat on Monday.
“I’m smiling looking at the kid on the back of this book with that sensational head of hair,” said Van Pelt. “I’ve been telling you, bro, for a long time, I am your GPS, and I just want to know, when are we just going to come home, man?
“It’s time to come home.”
Woods laughed and said he’s not going to be grabbing hair plugs anytime soon.
“I get it. We are not what we used to be,” said Woods. “I’ve got my helipad up top, and I’m very happy with that. My kids make fun of me because my clothes didn’t fit [back in 1997] and, ‘Look at daddy with a full head of hair.’”
The whole bit starts at 11:05 below and is tremendous.
