Clearly we need president Obama to stand up for Tiger Woods’ character. As Obama holds the highest self-proclaimed moral clarity himself and by his sycophants.

(Barf!!)

Being a Vietnam combat vet myself, I have no respect for people who denigrate those who put on the uniform.

I have no place for scum that hide behind a uniform. It makes the decent vets look bad. They don’t deserve that.

I agree - this ia not a case of picking sides. There’s only one side - character-wise they both suck.

Did the club pull come during the Garcia address/swing? Or was it after the swing? Does anyone know?

Golfers are a bunch of pansies and I seriously question it’s status as a “sport”. The only sport I played as a kid that required complete silence was performed in a locked bathroom with the current issue of Playboy magazine.

His drop was a TRAVESTY. It was clearly a bad drop. The drop was defended by the “drop your pants and bend over for Tiger” announcers. Is there ANY ONE with integrity left in golf to challenge this cheater?

Basically then you are calling Wittenburg a liar because he is the one who made the call:

"I saw it perfectly off the tee," he said. "I told him exactly where I thought it crossed, and we all agreed, so he's definitely great on that ... There is no doubt, guys. The ball crossed where he dropped."

Are you saying that his father being a US Army Lieutenant Colonel Vietnam combat vet and a Green Beret isn’t evidence of character?

I can't answer for 'freedomfiter2' but I would say that being a US Army Lieutenant Colonel Vietnam combat vet and a Green Beret isn’t evidence of character.

Character isn't what you've accomplished. Character is what you do when you think no one is looking.

Tiger's father may have been a fine gentleman of extraordinary character. Then again, he may not have been. It means nothing when trying to gauge Tiger's character. Genealogy means nothing.

Tiger's actions in this tournament AND the last one...as well as all the lying and cheating on his wife...has proven Tiger to be a low life and a reprobate.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I'd either say Wittenburg is a liar or because of something akin to a mancrush on a legend, he allowed himself to ‘willfully embellish’ where the ball crossed the hazard. Especially because of his adamant defense of Tiger (”he's definitely great...”) Judge Smails would've been proud.

As an USAF veteran, I can tell you that neither rank or unit is evidence of character. It’s something you come into the service with or without. Trust me.

Character assassination, America's favorite pasttime. Wittenburg is just collateral damage in the war on Tiger.

Actually, Johnny Miller said he thought it was a bad drop. Tiger is now resorting to cheating and poor sportsmanship to win. I'll cheer for ABT...anybody but tiger

I do, because I could have written the same post, word for word.

I assume you are referring to Tiger's drop on 14 when he hit it into the water on Sunday. The rules state the player must determine where the ball crossed the line to the hazard, AND his playing partner has to agree with the ball drop or the playing partner is ALSO penalized.

Could you imagine if Tiger and Sergio were playing together on Sunday? Sergio could have really embarassed Tiger by not agreeing with his ball drop.
