Tiger Woods in foul-mouthed volley at TV cameraman

[bscinstnct]

TW should have said like this,

Maybe? I don't know. In food coma, had this best korean pork belly samdwich, can't see so good....

[BenHoganSlam1953]

He actually said it quite politely and not that loud. I highly doubt anyone else heard it with all the spectators around him being so quite (as if). In fact the beep was annoyingly loud from the broadcast. Besides, it is only words that most kids hear frequently from their parents and family (mainly from males, but not always). I say similar things at work in front of my boss and colleagues when I'm pissed. It's healthy to release the pent-up frustration of work.

They think its funny because I just can't seem to curse in French without it sounding cute instead of pissed, thus I have no choice but to excuse my "English", so to speak.

Not a tiger fan, but I would have probably said the same thing to that guy. Nothing to see here, move along folks...

[HR Dave]

It's 2014 cameras can zoom, you don't need to be 6 inches from a guy to get his facial reaction.

[Marco]

Lol tiger was gonna swing his club in the air when he saw the camera guy, he should have continued his movement and hit him in the face on the finish

[OldGolfer87]

One thing I have noticed here at Golf Wrx .... no matter what TW does right or wrong some will find a way to find fault spew hate or what ever some care to call it ...... one bad thing about the media at large they can do whatever they please and no one can tell them NO ...and if one tries to they are judged to be offensive .. rude ..condescending ...even in a lot of cases when the media is wrong the person who unhappy with them is 100 % wrong .....

the bottom line I believe is those with cameras , tv camera's and sometimes the media themselves get way to close for comfort .....I had seen where TW thought the cameraman was to close and it sure seemed he or her was ....and he deserves some space .. he is in his WORKPLACE .... I do not doubt for a minute that most here would become more than uncomfortable if someone was trying to shove a camera in your face from 3 feet or less away from them ... most here would expect at least room to move ... and believe it or not Tiger deserves the same respect ......... but I have to remember in GolfWrx eyes Tiger is always wrong and at fault ..but people here are NEVER wrong

[slicktry]

That camera guy was way to close. I'd be upset as well. Of course my language would be much cleaner...

Will the PGA discipline him? Could you imagine if Phil or Rory did this? Amazing. This is disgraceful. The PGA and people will smear Dustin Johnson but nary a word about you know who.

He needs to get back to Hank Haney.

I have to remember you will say about anything against Tiger ... so not surprised at this post ... and honestly Tiger is absolutely correct here ... the cameraman was way to close and no way needs to be as close as he is .......... but I know in your eyes Tiger is always wrong and you are always correct ... I would like to see a tv camera shoved in your face and see how you respond ...I bet you would not like it much at all ........but I realize this is as usual nothing more than trying to spew some garbage/hate directed at Tiger .... otherwise you would never post it .....typical for sure

The OP hates Tiger Woods, yet he gives Eldrick so much attention. So much like a school boy crush.

[johnnypro]

Good for you, Tiger.
You should have given him Joe Pesci"s reply when he was told to "go home and get your f++kin" shine box".

[Paranorml]

Cameraman is lucky, he could have easily gone through with the swing rehearsal. No reason to be that close, just trying to get a reaction. Happened at the open too; tiger said more politely, "could you guys give me some space."

I am sure Steve Williams, Adam Scott's hall of fame caddy, is very pleased that he and Adam are -8 under. It is a good thing he left Tiger. Steve was a loyal friend.

Good Lord man......Get some help and get off whatever it is you are taking.....By the way, you forgot to call him Eldrick.....

Spot on! Started as a rant about Tiger's anger at a camera man, got no traction, so in less than 20 posts goes off on another tangent about how his ex-caddy is glad he's on Scott's bag. I believe in free speech and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but for the love of all that is holy, seek help on your issues with Tiger.

Thread is a complete troll failure. Sad performance from the one time Asian Tour pro that can't tell a BlueBoard from a Graf Blue.

[MattTheTaff]

I see absolutely no problem here whatsoever

It's just unfortunate he used the F word

[Bimmer1]

Go to youtube and look up Tiger's angry moments videos. Tiger has f-bombed and gd'd his entire career....... Along with throwing clubs. It has occured numerous times on television. Nothing new.

Looked like Tiger was getting ready to angrily and wildly swing his club. The cameraman might have received a nice gift for being too close!

Shut up you dumb @ss Gerry Watson lover. God you are such an idiot.

[beluga99]

Yes there does seem to be two common themes in the OP's threads - casting aspersions at Tiger and casting Asperger's at Bubba. Variety is the spice of life I say.

Class.

[mosesgolf]

Much ado about nothing.

[Mschumacher]

That didn't sound bad at all.

I think these pros should be constantly rehearse swinging the club so no cameraman or media person can get close to them. You have to send a message

[Golfingfanatic]

Not really an issue is it...

[Golfrnut]

This thread sure did backfire....lol

Don't worry OP, I'm sure you'll get another chance some day.

[taylormade_06]

Didn't Steve Williams, while caddying for Tiger, once take a camera from a fan and smash it? He would have been useful in this situation.

[mjtoal]

Wow, amazing his volley even hit the right cameraman. I would have thought it was more likely he aimed at one guy but hit a different one in the deep rough.

[dxb]

What's the back story on the OP's deep seated resentment towards TW?

Turned him down at a Waffle House?
Put sand in the KY?
Beat him 10&8 when he was 14?

All of the above?

[knockdstiff]

Seriously that camera guy was obnoxious. He was practically resting the thing on Tiger's shoulder. I'm sure they'll fine him the usual 5-10K which has happened a bunch of times and that'll be that.

Who cares, if you watched, the cameraman was up in his grill. They need to back off and let the man play. He was already having a frustrted day, that incident was just that much more to make him upset. /end thread and who cares
[/quote]
Agreed. Euro-paparazzi-style cameraman was over the boundary.
[/quote]

Even though it was a US pap feed being used by Sky tv?

[Nuggets]

I'd find it more amusing to watch if they were allowed happy gilmore style outbursts

I saw the video and thought he expressed his request to the camera-crew quite politely.
[/quote]

This!!!! If you watch it looked like he was about to swing his club behind him and the guy was so close that could have hit the guy if he hadn't seen him in time.

[Asiz]

I think he handled himself just fine.
