"We'd take our family vacation to Orlando," Manziel said, looking back on it. "One day I ended up playing with a bunch of kids at the house of Thurman Thomas [Pro Football Hall of Famer], of all people. I think he was friends with some of our family friends. Somehow we heard that Tiger was out playing on a nearby course, so another guy and I ran out there looking for him.
"We saw Tiger on the 16th hole and asked for his autograph, and he said to catch him right after the round. I was sitting about 100 yards from the 18th green, and he drove by in a cart and was pulling his hat really, really low. I remember him saying, 'No autographs today.'"
Ouch, that's cold Tiger. What gives?
Despite the snub, the former Heisman winner says he harbors no ill will towards Woods.
"If I ever run into Tiger at Nike or somewhere, it'll be a funny story," he said.
