Master Notebook: Cowboys coach joins ranks of Tiger trackers


Web posted 04/12/97


PGA prodigy Tiger Woods keeps pulling in new recruits to his already-burgeoning fan base.

Even Super Bowl-winning football coaches.

Dallas Cowboys coach Barry Switzer was among the throng that followed Woods' progress Friday afternoon. Switzer took a break from his Tiger tracking behind the green on No. 9 to sign autographs for a few fans who noticed his flashy Super Bowl ring. He also met a few members of the press, and was happy obliged questions not related to contract holdouts, Michael Irvin or Dallas' playoff meltdown against Carolina.

``I've been following Tiger Woods for a while,'' Switzer said. ``I've seen so many of these other guys play on TV. I just wanted to get a chance to see him play.''

After Woods unleashed one of his sonic boom drives on No. 10, Switzer nodded his approval.

``He's a very supple, loose athlete,'' Switzer said. ``He has an incredible swing.''
