And what a class act to not use it as an excuse leading into the Masters...
I root for Tiger. But he has got to mature and grow up. When he wins, you can count all the teeth from a mile away. When he loses he starts cussing the photographers and fans. A little class please.
I thought twice when he was clinbing out of bunkers that something wasn’t right... He had trouble making the last step out.
If he smiled as much as when he wins..they would
put him in the looney bin. Hey, It is natural to
be doowncast when you lose..no matter who the hell
you are. A class act is Tiger and don’t you forget
it????????? JK
On national TV, after hitting a "horrible" drive, he called himself a dumba*s.
At least he's not a hypocrite.
BTW, his "horrible" drive ended up in the wrong part of the fairway. My "good" drives are in the rough ... but sitting up and not behind a tree.
Wow, he still came in second in the Masters and didn’t complain once.
Nonsense. Tiger’s a fighter and a winner.
He’s got a temper? So what?
I also had arthroscopic surgery on my (right) knee this morning. I should be back in time to play in the U.S. open, as well.
I believe he actually was cussing at himself. I’ll try to find a YouTube of it...
He starts scolding photographers or fans who are taking pictures when he misses a key putt and is down.....not just once but many times.....he also used language that had to be bleeped out......
He is not a kid anymore.....so at some point someone would get really pissed off if the smile doesn’t get cut to size when he is dominating and temper tantrums are not controlled when he is losing......
So what? So one of these days someone would punch those tusks in.
I also appreciate that you didn't make excuses for your performance in the Masters.......
Does that count as an athletic injury to be covered by his insurance, or will he have to pay out of his own pocket. I thought players of his caliber didn’t have to do much walking on the links, what’s up with that?
In Tiger’s book about his life growing a golfer, he tells of how his dad would do nearly anything to distract him when he swung. He stated in the book that it taught him to focus. Well, as much as he gripes about a Canon D50 shutter fluttering away 25 feet from his stance, you’d swear he forgot those lessons from dear, old dad.
Well, now we know why he didn’t win Sunday.
Tiger has a very foul mouth. I’m surprised parents let their kids hear him curse the way he does, by following him around the course. The PGA needs to take Tiger and others to task for their behavior. Is the PGA afraid of Tiger?
He drops the f-bomb when he hits a bad shot. He also says G*dd*mn too. At least it isn’t G*dd*am America.
you are the one with the problem.....tusks?
bet you take lots of mulligans too
I agree. It seems his swearing is getting a bit out of hand. I was watching the Masters coverage online when he lipped out a six-footer. He yelled out the F-bomb loud and clear. Even the announcers made embarrassed snickers over it.
I took my kids to the Target World Challenge last December on Pro-Am day. Singh and Furyk both invited the kids on to the tee box with them, and talked to them while I took pictures. Tiger ignored virtually every kid that day. After the round, the other pros spent at least a half-hour signing hats. Tiger wouldn’t give anyone the time of day. He really upset a lot of parents that day. Small crowd, no cameras around, and he still treated everyone like garbage.
A woman next to us brought her twin sons up from Compton to get Tiger’s autograph. One boy was able to shove his hat in front of Tiger’s face to slow him down as he walked past from the press tent. Tiger grabbed the hat as he walked, signed it and threw it back over his shoulder to another person, who gave it to the boy. His brother was devastated, in tears. One mad mom there. I don’t blame her.
