Fellow PGA Pros Speak Out On Tiger Woods: 'A Phony And A Fake'

Jay Busbee

This is how bad it's getting for Tiger Woods: even his fellow pros are now starting to speak out against him.

First it was Jesper Parnevik expressing his frustration and disappointment, saying he "probably thought [Woods] was a better guy than he is." But Parnevik's outrage is understandable, given that he was the one who initially introduced Elin Nordegren to Tiger Woods.

Now, however, two players with no apparent direct connection to the scandal are taking their shots at Tiger. Ben Crane, an eight-year pro with two wins on the PGA Tour, and Charles Warren, a six-year veteran of the PGA Tour, each sharply criticized Woods, on the record, in the current issue of Life & Style magazine. (Visor tip: Sports By Brooks)

"This is no surprise to anyone who knows Tiger," said Crane, pictured above. "He's a phony and a fake and he can't retain that squeaky-clean endorsement deal any longer."

Crane also hinted that Elin Woods could have known all about Woods' alleged extramarital activities. "She's no fool," he said, and speculated that she possibly "turned a blind eye because of the money and the kids and the lifestyle he provides."

Warren also had a bit of advice for Elin, with uncompromising words for Woods. "She was very young when Jesper introduced them," Warren said. "She had stars in her eyes and maybe dollar signs too. But no, she should not stay with him.

What kind of message would that send to her sister and mother and all the women out there? prominence and, in turn, their paychecks. But Crane's comments indicate that Tiger's alleged proclivities were an open secret among Tour players.

Ben wishes only the best for Tiger and Elin."

Good for Ben! Some here can't get enough flesh from Tiger - I find that weird!

LOL. In psychology, it is called projection. You are a Tigerbot. I notice a comment you made on a previous thread on Jamiee Grubbs, "This whore wants us to believe her? LOL! Show me her credibility first - same goes for the whores at the MSM and some elected officials, that Louisiana chick comes to mind."

I guess you will stand by your man and blame the "other" women."

I just showed someone here what you wrote. If nothing else, you are certainly good for a laugh. They are still laughing - because they are the ones that told me he was married. And you call me a tigerbot -LOL!

I’m finished - I gave you enough time - but my friends thank you for the laugh and pity you for your obsession.

I disagree. And I think more golfers will speak out. They had to stand by and watch him rake in the big bucks for a totally fake image.

I had dinner with a man about 10 years ago who works in professional golf. Told me about being around Tiger. Said he was an “awful person” and was not respected at all except for his golf game.

Oh, please.

There’s quite a difference between talking about someone’s personal life once it becomes public and bringing it up in the first place.

Ahhhhhhh, the intarwebs. Ahem. That's not Elin. Elin has won six figures in (European?) courts in settlements from trashy news and Internet sites over photos like that. Come on, man. Just because a google hit says it's so does not mean it's factually correct.

PGA pros are celebrating Tiger’s downfall. It means more money for them.

Inever defended Tiger, I say he is a disgrace.

And these two men did trash his wife if you read their remarks.

He is not only making money from endorsements, or was, he is also the world’s best golfer.

And your long tome can’t deny that.

Why the long tome?

As Rush said everyone in the golf world & beyond knew of the tiger's peccadilloes for the past several years, except we the general public. He also said there's more, wisely without elaborating. OK.

I'm sure the tabloids are gathering up as many witnesses as possible who'll attest to the 'mores'. Just good business, I 'spose. LOL

Seems someone or thing doesn't want to take the guy down a notch, they mean to totally destroy him.

Somehow, someway ol' tiger {grrrrrr} seriously pissed someone or thing off. That much is obvious, now.

Tiger Woods is a metaphor for what is happening in this country whether it is the phony science of climate change or Obamacare or our political leadership.

We are dealing with contrived images that are based on lies and fabrication. And the MSM is part of the problem because it is a willing conspirator. The leak of the East Anglia emails (Climategate), the blatant mistruths about Obamacare (Joe Wilson's you lie), and the phonies in Congress who ignore the will of the people whether it is at townhalls or tea parties or the polls are the canaries in the coal mine. The man who is in the WH and just received the Nobel Peace Prize is the epitome of how you can craft an image without substance and be successful in becoming President of the United States. It all has to do with money and power.

When the truth intrudes on these scams, the MSM either ignores or downplays it or attacks the messenger. Tiger Woods' escapades were well-known but a code of silence spawned by vested interests connected to money and access prevented the story from being told. It was an inconvenient truth.

He is not only making money from endorsements, or was, he is also the world’s best golfer. And your long tome can’t deny that.

So Kobe Bryant may be the world's greatest basketball star. Whitney Houston may be one of the greatest singers. They are entertainers. Sports are part of the entertainment business. Being the world's greatest golfer doesn't insulate you from scrutiny or give you a pass when you screw up. The person who trashed Tiger Woods' wife is Tiger Woods.

More words to justify being happy with the moblike feeding frenzy on this man and his family.

He is a disgrace. He does not deserve this. ANd your defense of it tells me alot about the mob driven destruction of people just because they are successful, rich, talented and screw up.

THis isn’t scrutiny that is happening to this disgraced man. It is close to stoning.

Hey Tiger, once you become a pickle, you can’t go back and be a cucumber.

BS. I have no sympathy for this billionaire serial adulterer. You should save yours for the men and women who are dying and risking life and limb in Iraq and Afghanistan to defend Tiger and the rest of us. Don’t make Tiger into a victim.
