Was Tiger like that before Earl passed away? Seems like he really lost his way after that.
Don’t know the answer to that. I don’t remember it being so blatant. But he has lost his way lately.
He certainly never did anything publicly while his father was alive.
I really think his father kept him in line and he's had nobody else who is willing/able to keep him straight. I have a hunch that this is the real reason Tiger fired Steve Williams (his longtime caddy fired in 2011), though we will never know.
