    Tiger Woods is a douche


    http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?id=4347419

    Woods needs to clean up his act

    Tiger Woods has outgrown those Urkel glasses he had as a kid. Outgrown the crazy hair. Outgrown a body that was mostly neck.

    When will he outgrow his temper?

    The man is 33 years old, married, the father of two. He is paid nearly $100 million a year to be the representative for some monstrously huge companies, from Nike to Accenture. He is the world's most famous and beloved athlete.

    And yet he spent most of his two days at Turnberry last week doing the Turn and Bury. He'd hit a bad shot, turn and bury his club into the ground in a fit. It was two days of Tiger Tantrums -- slamming his club, throwing his club and cursing his club. In front of a worldwide audience.

    A whole lot of that worldwide audience is kids. They do what Tiger does. They swing like Tiger, read putts like Tiger and do the celebration biceps pump like Tiger. Do you think for two seconds they don't think it's cool to throw their clubs like Tiger, too?

    He's grown in every other way. He's committed, responsible, smart, funny and the most talented golfer in history. I just thought we'd be over the conniptions by now.

    If there were no six-second delay, Tiger Woods would be the reason to invent it. Every network has been burned by having the on-course microphone open when he blocks one right into the cabbage and starts with the F-bombs. Once, at Doral, he unleashed a string of swear words at a photographer that would've made Artie Lange blush, and then snarled, "'The next time a photographer shoots a [expletive] picture, I'm going to break his [expletive] neck!"

    He's grown in every other way. He's committed, responsible, smart, funny, and the most talented golfer in history. I just thought we'd be over the conniptions by now.

    It's disrespectful to the game, disrespectful to those he plays with and disrespectful to the great players who built the game before him. Ever remember Jack Nicklaus doing it? Arnold Palmer? When Tom Watson was getting guillotined in that playoff to Stewart Cink, did you see him so much as spit? Only one great player ever threw clubs as a pro -- Bobby Jones -- and he stopped in his 20s when he realized how spoiled he looked.

    This isn't new. Woods has been this way for years: swearing like a Hooters' bouncer, trying to bury the bottom of his driver into the tee box, flipping his club end over end the second he realizes his shot is way offline.

    I can still remember the 1997 Masters -- arguably the most important golf tournament ever played. Woods, then 21, was playing the 15th hole on Sunday. He had just hit a fairway wood out of the rough and was watching it. A young boy came up from behind just to touch him -- just to pat the back of this amazing new superhero. That's when Tiger pulled the club way back over his head and slammed it down, nearly braining the kid he couldn't see behind him. And this was with a huge lead.

    Look, in every other case, I think Tiger Woods has been an A-plus role model. Never shows up in the back of a squad car with a black eye. Never gets busted in a sleazy motel with three "freelance models." Never gets so much as a parking ticket. But this punk act on the golf course has got to stop. If it were my son, I'd tell him the same thing: "Either behave or get off the course."

    Come to think of it, if I were the president of Nike, I'd tell him the same thing.

    Put it this way: Will Tiger let his own two kids carry on in public like that?

    I know what you're saying. We see more Tiger tantrums because TV shows every single shot he hits. And I'm telling you: You're wrong. He is one of the few on Tour who do it. And I keep wondering when PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem is going to have the cojones to publicly upbraid him for it.

    Golf is a gentlemen's game. Stomping and swearing and carrying on like a Beverly Hills tennis brat might fly in the NBA or in baseball or in football, where less is expected, but golf demands manners. It's your honor. Is my mark in your way? No, I had 6, not 5. Golfers call penalties on themselves. We are our own police. Tiger, police yourself.

    Tiger does a boatload of work for kids. He raises millions for his Tiger Woods Learning Center, which has helped teach thousands. But teaching goes the wrong way, too. Tiger is teaching them that if he can be a hissy hothead on the course, they can, too.

    I remember Tiger's dad, Earl, telling a story. One day, when Tiger was just a kid, he was throwing his clubs around in a fuming fit when his dad said something like "Tiger, golf is supposed to be fun." And Tiger said, "Daddy, I want to win. That's how I have fun."

    Well, it's not fun to watch.

    LOL, I find this hate hilarious! You act like Tiger is the ONLY player to do this. It may seem like he does it the most but that is only because every camera if focusing on his every move during every tournament he is in. I've read things from people who actually attend these tournaments that Tiger is far from the only person to act like that on the course but since he's Tiger, that who all the haters will focus on.

    Plus, you are an NFL fan Sneakers. It's pretty hypocritical for you to cheer on guys most of whom are probably way more vulgar than Tiger on the field but you blast Tiger for it. I also love how you ignore all the great philanthropic work Tiger does and the fact that he's never had any legal or character issues off the course but since like any great pro athlete, he shows a little emotion when something goes wrong, you act like he is the worst person in the world.

    You will probably never see a pro golfer in your lifetime even close to his level of talent and accomplishment. It's a pity that instead of sitting back and enjoying it you just stew over your hatred for him. Unless he slept with your girlfriend or something I don't see the hate.

    Two points.

    First, the author of the article above clearly doesn't know much about golf, as he refers to Bobby Jones (the most famous amateur golfer) as a professional golfer.

    Second, Tiger is a target because he is one of the greatest of all time. When criticizing him, does anyone consider that there is likely NEVER been a golfer in the game that has had as many pictures snapped in the middle of their swings? That due to his popularity, he has brought new 'fans' to the tournaments that don't recognize the etiquette that golf fans are supposed to follow?

    We live in a society that finds it so easy to attack and find fault in others, rather than looking past the sound bites.

    I'm sure I have read his stuff, but the name doesn't ring a bell right away. Bobby Jones is pretty famous for his decision to never turn pro.

    I don't have camera's clicking in the middle of my swing and drop an F-bomb if I pull a drive into the woods.

    Rick Riley is one of the most self-important, high-horse writers I have read in a while. I had always heard about what a great writer he is but he doesn't do much for me. Se seems to just like to sit on his pedestal and point out what others are doing wrong.

    I hate him because of his arrogance, his smugness, his sense of entitlement, his unappreciativeness (is that a word?)

    What else makes me really not like him?

    • He whines and swears up and down the golf course when things don't go his way.
    • He doesn't sign autographs, even at charity events.
    • He hogs all the media coverage
    • He is unlikable
    • I can't stand all the stupid little puns people create with his name...its obnoxious!
    • Yells at fans who take pictures of him (like they have to ask permission or something) because it might make him miss a shot...well if you're that ******* good you should be able to hit a golf ball while being exposed to external stimuli.


    On a completely unrelated note....Michelle Wie is hot.
    Sneak...I have no issues with your post.

    Most (all) of it is true regarding, dude...

    Anyone check out the apology presser?

    I watched it on CNN which followed it by a presser of his porn mistress. She was lied to, she thought she was the only one, well besides his WIFE. Poor little dumbass.

    Effing women are stupid, myself included at times. Stop the stupidity.
