Over the weekend, Tiger Woods played the British Open at St. Andrews, Scotland. Previously, Tiger has won two British Opens – although USA Today points out that he won on the old course. If he would have won, it would have been historic. Now, I don’t really understand the scoring of golf or anything, but I do know that Tiger lost, and if you’d like to read about the technicalities of why and how he lost, this seems to be a good article. Tiger told USA Today after the game: “That’s just the way it goes. I’m not going to win all of them. I’ve lost a lot more than I’ve won. The good news is I’ve won half of them not on these venues, too. I feel satisfaction in the sense that I drove it on a string all week and hit my irons pretty good, but other than the first day, I did not putt well at all. You just can’t play and expect to win golf tournaments if you have nine or 10 three-putts for a week. No one can win doing that. Got to clean that up before I tee it up again.”
Blah. Tiger said all of this after he had his hissy fit on the course. The live feed even caught Tiger dropping the f-bomb after he missed an easy putt (Freudian) because of the wind, maybe?
It’s pretty funny. I mean, it sucks for Tiger, but does anyone else get the feeling that the new post-whore-explosion Tiger is feeling a bit like, “F-ck it, I’m letting it all hang out.” No more Sphinx, no more pretending to be Mr. Family Man. This could be Tiger, free-ballin’. Ho-Jo waitresses watch out. Wait, does Scotland have any Ho-Jo’s? Whatever the equivalent is. McGregor’s Pub waitresses.

Good! Maybe if he had been his douchey self his entire career, this whole whoring thing wouldn’t have been such a big, career and image damaging deal. He still could have found a Swedish wife to breed with with, maybe would have never gained certain endorsements, but still. I like it when people are at the very least real.
SDDD, Same Douche Different Day. I agree, watch out McGregor’s waitresses. Take the week off!
I’m not a golf fan (your line “this seems like a good article” cracked me up) but Tiger has lost it tons of times on the course.
Maybe the new Tiger will indulge in a little crotch-clutching a la Michael Jackson when he makes a shot.
@aenflex: Me too!
I think this free and easy Tiger (haha) will be a lot more entertaining than the old pretend “family man” Tiger.
Jesus, he could’ve saved Elin a lifetime of heartache had he just stayed single. Then he could bone a new woman every single day of his life.
Before a tournament! After a tourament!
Before and after each hole!
I don’t mind the f-bomb. It’s tough to play sports and miss a good shot and how can you help but get mad and let off a little steam.
perhaps it wasn’t a bomb. perhaps it was just a general shout-out/invitation to all the waitresses in the gallery to meet him on the next tee for a little action.
no, but kids that look up to him shouldn’t have to hear it
I hate to say this…but, I’ve watched him play a bit of golf (my husband watches so I’m there for the ride). This doesn’t really seem any different than the pre-scandal Woods. I would really call it a hissy fit…
Although, It is interesting that he hasn’t really played all that well since his affairs hit the air. Plus, I believe that he would not be doing himself a favor by hooking up with anyone until his settlement is final!!
Tiger Man, still play hard. Love ya
Oh noes! F-bombs?? What about the children??!! Now civilization as we know it is about to collapse!
Having played golf, I would have dropped a f-bomb if I had missed a easy putt like that. Good for him.
Now what you need to find is the footage from Friday where tiger was wearing a bright green polo shirt, with long sleeves underneath-both of which were under a SWEATER VEST. I was watching, and was like ‘holy moly, someone at Nike design is not happy with Tiger right now’
So Im an avid golfer who was interested in Tiger before all the mess that has become his life.
This isn’t “New Tiger”. He has always behaved this way. The rub is that when all of the mess he created he said he wasn’t going to be such a douche on the course.
Obviously douchery on the golf course wasn’t covered in sex rehab.
I meant…I would not call this a hissy fit.
my favorite is the shot of him pouting like the little b*tch that he is. ha ha ha!
why is he wearing a mike? who cares what he mutters to himself?
FYI – the “old course” is the nickname for St. Andrews. They are one in the same.
He got mad and reacted how most of us would….so what
This guy has always acted like that on the golf course. Back when he was the “nice family guy” everyone just laughed it off. Now it’s just behavior typical of the total ass that he is. It is funny that when he came back to golf(after his “break”) there was a lot of speculation about whether he would clean up this kind of behavior — and he did try for a while. Now that he’s stopped trying, wonder if he’s stopped trying not to sleep with whores too?
second those who say this is not a “new Tiger” he’s often been caught cussing and acting like a baby on the golf course
he’s always been a swearer
Tiger always HAS been a complete douchebag. Anyone who didn’t notice it before was either not paying attention, or simply buying into the media bs.
@tiki6: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….that made me laugh so hard.
he always had been a swearer so what is the trouble?
Does anyone even care about this man any longer?
Tiger being an a**hole on the course is nothing new. It’s just now the networks don’t feel he is owed the courtesy of editing it out.
So he swears. Big deal. Who hasn’t when something goes wrong. We don’t exactly think about it in advance that we’re going to swear. Emotion brings it out. Non-story.
Big deal. Tigger has always dropped f-bombs. The only difference is that the MSM are finally reporting it. Are they reporting that he doesn’t tip either yet?
Someone swore in Scotland – how unusual 😆
That purple shirt would make any putter limp.
Yeah, I am kinda thinking that this is the real Tiger. He makes me laugh a little because (to me) he looks like he is a 16 year old kid having a tantrum. Then again, that sport would make me run crazy all over the course ripping my hair out, yes, it is that frustrating of a game.
@tiki
Yep. That was just a page out of Christiano Ronaldo fore-play book.
Tiger has sworn on the course for his whole career; this isnt anything new.
To all who pull the “role model” card – I say this: if you or your children are looking to sports stars or any type of celebrity as a role model, the problem is YOU and your delusions about celebrities and who they really are. These people are public personalities who use their fame to make lots and lots of money. Get a grip and take a look at reality.
Look up to real members of your community who work to make our world better as your role models; they won’t disappoint you.
fluffy kitten – yes, fans of professional golf most certainly care about him.
The PGA fines the players for cursing. They don’t release amounts, but rumor has it that Tiger has always been the most fined professional golfer. Supposedly he once asked for a break, stating that his excessive fines weren’t fair because he was followed around so much they could always catch his cursing on video. Supposedly the then head of the PGA told him there were significant benefits to being Tiger Woods and he would just have to deal with this burden by watching his mouth.
“This could be Tiger, free-ballin’”
That made me crack up.
Seriously though, Tiger has been swearing on tour for as long as he’s been a pro. What has changed now, is since he no longer has the ‘Family Man’ reputation to live up to the Networks/media are not cutting him any slack anymore.
That’s a hissy fit? Look, Tiger’s a douche and deserves to be picked on but for this? A pro sportsman misses a relatively easy, in this case, putt, swears a few times and walks off (to his bag and the next hole – golf hole) and you’re on his case?
Seriously there are bigger issues today folks.
I am not one to defend Tiger but at least he has a talent that no one can take away from him. He is a big old jerk but one of these days everyone in the golf world will be kissing his ass again, so let him play golf (god knows I won’t be watching).
Anyone who plays golf with any reasonable results – be it pros or recreational players like myself – will tell you that golf is not all about skills. His performance troubles on courses are result of his own actions, which messed him in his head and he knows it. He better learn how to live with himself or else he is doomed. Period.
Can someone please give Tiger an Ambien!
i think tiger should give up the charade. just drop f bombs, hurl your putter into the crowd, honk some spectator’s tits….whatever. we’ve got your number tiger.
