WATCH: Tiger Woods Drops Some F Bombs At British Open

by Dan Fogarty | 10:53 am, July 19th, 2010

Tiger Woods, who finished a disappointing 18th place yesterday at the British Open, was heard dropping F bombs following a missed putt on the 13th hole. Well, at least that aspect of Tiger’s game hasn’t changed? Right? High-five! Am I right?

Anyway, much has been made of Woods’ lack of composure on the course, and for some reason the fact that he found himself in the middle of a sex scandal means that he can’t curse anymore when he’s paying golf. The British media ragged on him throughout the week, asking him outright if he planned swearing during the Open (to which Tiger responded with his trademark staredown and icey cold “thank you”).

It’s a bit unfair. I know it’s taboo to use “unfair” and “Tiger Woods” in the same sentence, and I understand the necessity of tact on a course as historically significant as St. Andrews, but come on: it’s golf. And in case you didn’t know, golf is very frustrating. So don’t hate on Tiger too much when he does stuff like this:

Was this written to attract Junior High kids?

This is why Professional Sports is really not a good example for our youth….

Dan?
Slow news day?
This piece reads as though it were written by a Junior High school girl for her school paper…aghast at a word she heard uttered…

When is the media going to grow up? If you don’t want to hear curse words coming from people involved in intense sporting situations…mute your TV….or better yet…stop sticking mics everywhere….and then complaining about what they pick up.

And your comment sounds like it was written by someone eager to use the phrase “junior high school girl.” If you read the article, you’d notice I defend Tiger.

Remind me never to have you defend me. The fact that you felt the need to write the story says more about you than it does about TIGER. I will be impressed the day that you put together a video that show how other golfers, through the years, have cursed and have thrown clubs around during championship competition.
It’s comical how many in the media complain that TIGER has lost his intensity, but they are the first to condemn his intensity. Now they condemn it…..before, they were too afraid of the guy. They waited until he self-destructed and then the knives came out. TIGER has nobody to blame for his problems but himself, but the media needs to take a long cold look in the mirror. It might be great fun to turn the tables…follow you guys around 24/7 with cameras. Hire paparazzi to follow your children to school. Do background checks on anyone you have had dealings with. It would be great….have a web-site that lays it all out…..everyday. This is how the guys in the media live their personal lives….now lets watch them judge others.

It must be a slow news day. Next thing you know, we’ll hear- Tiger’s wearing sunglasses! What’s he trying to hide! Tiger made these people feel so insignificant that they swarmed at the first chance they had. They behave like insecure 8 yr. olds.

Why would you Defend Tiger?
