Here is video of a news interview that golfing legend Tom Watson did where he was asked to comment on Tiger Woods and the controversy swirling around him.
Watson is asked about Woods, and said he thinks he will "probably be back sometime this year after he gets his personal life in order." Watson offered some frank and mature advice to Tiger Woods about his on and off the course behavior:
It's bad for our game. It's something he needs to get control of and a handle on and make some amends and show some humility to the public when he comes back.Watson was then asked what advice he would give Woods when he comes back:
"His swearing and his club throwing, that should end. That's not part of what we want to project as far as the professional golf tour is concerned."Amen to Tom Watson. . . . (VIDEO)

So true. The NFL, MLB and the pinnacle of virtue and character, the NBA are all setting the example for golf to follow. If only the PGA could be more like the other sports populated with wife beaters, drug pushers and users, dead-beat dads and otherwise unsavory characters. Man, they'd really have something then. /s
Some one is going to shout something like, "Elin never threw her 9-iron and look how she scored".
How he reacts to that ball-busting will be a new measure of the man.
Please!
I've been pretty close to Tiger when he's hit some shots he didn't like. I was near him when he bogeyed two holes en route to the US Open Championship at Bethpage in 2002. I was also close on several occasions when he missed the cut at Winged Foot in 2006. I guess I've seen him drop his club, and I've seen disgusted looks on his face. But I've never heard him curse. Has Watson even played with him? I think this is a cheap shot at a guy who is down.

Actually I was heavily involved in golf from approx. 1966 till 1997 when I gave it up ....
ROFLMAO!!!! Nice try ODH, there's no way you can compare the direction golf needs to go in order to survive to what has happened to the other sports. Give me a break!
Golf will continue to be played by honest individuals but unless you and its fellow elitists allow the players to start acting naturally and allow fan excitement, it will remain relegated to the excitement category of curling.............
I think Elin hooked a 9-iron through the window(s) of a Cadillac Escalade though.
It hard to believe, but Tiger could probably learn a lot from John Daly.
Just kidding.
Excellent point. Woods behavior on and off the course shows he might be over 30 age wise but he has the emotional maturity of a 14 year old.
