Tiger Woods pulled his tee shot on the par-3 6th hole at The Masters today, and the boys in the CBS control booth didn’t cue up the phony bird sounds fast enough. Instead they caught Tiger’s reaction:
Yes, he said, “Tiger Woods… you sssssuck! [Blasphemy.]”
If this is part of his PR rehabilitation program, I like it. What golfer
can’t relate? (Props to Verne Lundquist for the droll “I don’t think he’s pleased.”)
But because Tiger pledged earlier to ease up on the on-course anger, it’ll probably be an issue. As a helpful public service, here are some alternatives for Tiger’s use in The Masters or future tournaments:
Steely calm: “Tiger Woods, you did not achieve your full potential with that seven iron.”
Sarcasm: “Tiger Woods, you rrrrrrock!”
Cheery acceptance: “Oh Tiger Woods, you big fluffball. Still, it’s great to be alive.”
Elmer Fudd: “Tiger Woods, I’m tewwibly, tewwibly disappointed in you.”
