LOS ANGELES - Tiger Woods has apologised for comments he made during a television interview after the U.S. Masters at Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday.
The world No. 1, who tied for third place three strokes behind winner Phil Mickelson, was criticised for using the term “spaz” to describe his poor putting in the final round.
“Tiger meant nothing derogatory to any person or persons and apologises for any offence caused,” Woods’s agent Mark Steinberg said in a statement issued on the player’s official website.

Just an apology isn't enough!
He should be forced to go to a spaz clinic and look into the eyes of the little spastics and apologize to them in person!
Even if he has to chase them around to do it!

This PC crapola has just got to stop. Either that or we give up the written and spoken language. Maybe sign language as well since certain gestures relate obscene meaning.
I would rather live in a world where a few get their feelings hurt rather than one in which each group gets to define a long list of words that need to be avoided.

Spaz: Is this slang for a person who is exhibiting spasms?
I guess some spasmic person objected. Too funny!
Soon, he may be apologizing to all tigers.

Spaz doesn't think all the jokes on this thread are funny.

Can anal retentives be far behind in demanding apologies as well? or would that be considered out of bounds?

It's all about context, so Tiger owes no one an apology.
His doing so just cements his image as one of sport's nice guys.

Dude, they'll all spazes. How hard could it be to catch them?

LOL! When I was in school, there was a really cute guy and his last name was Sparacino. We called him Spaz. People are so freaking sensitive.

"In several countries, “spaz” is an offensive term for people affected with spastic paralysis, a form of cerebral palsy."Ridiculous. No apology was warranted.

I know I speak for all spazes when I say that I am outraged at Mr. Tiger's utterly tasteless remark....Not!
