Williams says he wants to make sure Woods has a ‘level playing field’.

SYDNEY - says he won’t tolerate any heckling of his star player whenever the world’s No. 1 golfer returns to competition.

Woods on Friday apologized for cheating on his wife, Elin, and said he’s unsure when he’ll return to golf. Woods indicated that he could make his return sometime this season.

If Tiger ever plays Ryder Cup again the Euros will be itching to exact revenge after what how the US fans taunted Monty at Brookline. I think thug caddy just made it more likely Tiger will be heckled.

Perhaps we should all be more concerned with Obama who is screwing an entire nation on a daily basis.

Seems like a killer way to get sponsorship from SEIU, they’ve got plenty of cash.

Did anyone else notice Tiger was not as bulked out as before? Perhaps not doing steriods or PEDs during his “rehab”?

Yes, I did. And it's probably because he's not working out like he used to. Going soft.

Yes, but it seems futile and I need some distractions now and then.

LOL - line of the day!

I'm convinced Tiger was using PEDs before his last knee injury. He has admitted to using a Canadian doctor for his rehab who was caught with PEDs while crossing the border. Tiger's record with have the same asterisk as Barry Bonds.

We need more suggestions of what to holler:

In the hole!

Use your long iron.

Stop beating around the bush.

A couple of things to say. Tiger's personal life has nothing to do with his golf game and some people on these threads sound positively filled with hate for Tiger simply because he is a jerk with women.

OTH, people who jeer and heckle him at golf games have a right to do so and if he can figure out that this is going to happen(of course he has, which is why his caddy is threatening people)then he needs to get out of the game.

The worse thing he could have done has happened, he has threatened fans, through a surrogate exactly as Bozo(his hero) does, who might actually try to bad mouth him while he is playing.

All he had to do was keep playing and concentrating on the game and eventually, probably by the end of this season, people would stop or the heckling would have dropped to a very low rate.

If going out all night, getting drunk, having affairs with other women were a criteria for being tossed out of sports, then Babe Ruth would have been tossed out of baseball because that is exactly what he did through out his career.

"If going out all night, getting drunk, having affairs with other women were a criteria for being tossed out of sports, then Babe Ruth would have been tossed out of baseball because that is exactly what he did through out his career. "

I don't particularly care if Woods is or is not faithful to his wife. It's none of my business. But, if he is choosing to get in the car and drive while he's incapacitated, then I've got a big problem with that. I still contend that sober people don't demolish their cars when pulling out of their own driveway. He was either drunk or incapacitated on prescription medications.

Secondly, I've never approved of Tiger's on-course behavior. His marketing machine, with their willing accomplices in the media, have done a yeoman's job in covering for his (and his caddy's) incredibly boorish behavior. Some people, like Tom Watson, are just now starting to talk out about it. If Tiger really has changed his life, it will show up sooner on course, than it probably will off course.

None of this has anything to do with Tiger driving drunk. The only reason he was in the car when he crashed was because his wife was trying to kill him with a 5 iron or whatever. Many men have been killed by wives wielding golf clubs.

Another point: The people on these Tiger threads exhibit an anger that is way over the top, something I attribute to "success" envy. They don't like Tiger(he is an arrogant jerk)and so they are happy he screwed up in his personal life and use it as an excuse to attack and they are really, really, really hoping he will fail in Golf from here on out.

That is something that may happen, some athletes have been brought down because of their personal lives because the couldn't handle the pressure it geenrated on them.

To me, his personal life is between him, his wife and God and has nothign what so ever to do with Golf.

The amount of acid on these Tiger threads is appalling, considering that most FReepers are supposed to be Christians.

I don't golf, BTW, in fact I detest it so I really have no dog in this fight, but I wonder how so many so called Christians can exhibit such and acid hate for this man.
