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.

Did you see his putting? ;)
If you're going to quote the site, quote it correctly. Don't "colour" it with your local "flavour" in your flat.
You're kidding, the S word was SPAZ??????
Spastic used to be just an adjective. I guess adjectives are dangerous things these days.
"Geez, what a retard."
Or just `tard.
My wife has spasticty in her legs from MS and I call her `spaz' all the time. Of course I wouldn't call someone else that, but this is just more bogus "niggardly" nonsense.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Yes...only money will heal the pain. Grant it to me your honor. :-)
Hey - I did NOT give you permission to post my photo. My lawyer will - uh - what was the subject?
Yes...only money will heal the pain. The right amount will make it all better.

When asked about his play on the last day at Augusta, Woods replied: “I putted atrociously today. Once I got on the greens, I was a spaz.”In several countries, “spaz” is an offensive term for people affected with spastic paralysis, a form of cerebral palsy.
Britain-based disability organisation Scope, formerly The Spastics Society, said of Woods’s comments: “Once again, Tiger Woods demonstrates that we are two nations divided by a common language.
The only person who should be insulted is Woods. Did he issue the apology to himself for calling himself a spaz?
Good lord, what kind of spaz objected to this?
;-)
Only money will make Tiger Woods' apology all better. The right amount will make the flashbacks stop.
:-)Hehe!
having read the posts and about figured out what Spaz means, I see it is slang for muslim?
Count me among the people who had no idea that "spaz" would be considered offensive to anybody. I know Tiger wasn't using it to slam handicapped people. My six year old son is a klutz with a lot of energy. He's constantly bouncing off walls and hurting himself. My wife and I call him a spaz all the time, but it's an affectionate label. He's my lovable little SPAZ!
Pretty much a given. When I get a putter in my hand I become spaztic.
What about the character "Spaz" from the movie 'Meatballs?' What does he have to say?
C'mon guys! You're going to have to do better than that!
Tiger actually said spas, i.e. "I gotta spend more time in the spas to improve my putting." -- it was just misspelt the British way...
"Highimpact, it's STILL YOUR TURN!"
Tiger must be a retread dork to apologize.
The Brotherhood of Spazoids, Dweebs, Gomers, and Dorks however are NOT amused!

Speaking as a spastic dork, I found it quite amusing!
