I would be willing to bet that Tiger's (Celebrity Endorsement) of Barry is driving this.
Welcome to politics Mr. Woods. Should have kept your mouth shut!!!

I’m willing to bet that alcohol is driving this.

Alcohol was they key to release it.

“How embarrassing for that golf club.”
And for golf in the U.S. in general. Golf fans are supposed to have some amount of class.
To: ImJustAnotherOkie
Sounds like they were heckling everybody, but it’s only interesting when they heckle Tiger.

Isn’t there some security at such events? I’m amazed that this was allowed to continue. To start, much less to continue.

Appears that they heckled just about everyone but only Woods got the headlines.

Countdown to the inevitable, reflexive, ignorant charge of “Racism!”.
No, highly unlikely to come from Woods himself.

It's a pleasure to hear that there are people who claim to be tough in New York.
Never heard that before.

Me, I admire Tiger for never mentioning Our Beloved President even once in his inauguration day speech.

Golf fans are supposed to have some amount of class. I think that went by the wayside some time ago. I am mortally tired of idiots shrieking "Get in the hole!" everytime someone tees off on a 500+ yard par 5.

I’m with you.
This is a tempest in a teacup. It sounds like the fans were just ribbing him, not being vicious.

What a bunch of wusses golfers are. Could you imagine a story anywhere that felt it was newsworthy to report that ‘some drunken fans yelled at Albert Pujols yesterday at the Cardinals game’? Or, ‘some drunken fans heckled Peyton Manning yesterday at the Colts game.”
Wusses, with people running around commanding the paying audience to shut up because these lightweights can’t hit the ball if someone so much as eats a potato chip.

Woods interjected politics into the sport, this is an expected consequence.
I doubt if alcohol is the problem. it (supposed alcohol use) is being used by the state run media to marganilize those presenting opposing political veiwpoints to those of Woods’.
If those running the golf event didn’t want politics to come up, they should have asked Woods to stay away.
