We don't know that's what he did, there aren't even timestamps on this. If I text you a joke now, and then don't get anything back, and then I send you a follow-up text saying "I was just joking", and then sometime after that you get back to your phone and see the joke and the follow-up, no one can assume you only texted because of the follow-up.

Maybe you got my first one and said "screw them" and waited for an apology, maybe you didn't get the first one until after the second had been sent and saw them both together and replied to both, or maybe you saw the first and went "heh" but forgot to actually respond to me in the moment, and it wasn't until after the second came through that you went "ah shit, right"

But only the receiver can know which is which.

Anyways! I don't give a shit about Tiger Woods, I just hate miscommunication and assumptions of ill-intent, and I've seen first hand too many times a person who is more connected drawing all sorts of conclusions for what a silence might mean, or how mad someone must be, or reading into a gap that simply isn't there. The receiver just is doing something, they're not on their couch staring at their phone, and the sender is spinning out all sorts of stories to explain how they're being ignored or attacked. It's anxiety.
