Tiger Woods receives first heckle, decides to go home

First, I can’t express adequately enough how much I love this photo. Not because I do or do not support Tiger, but because it tells a story, as all great photojournalism does. The walk of shame after missing the cut at Quail Hollow. Head down. Random woman showing her general disdain. Scattered applause. Just sublime. Oh, also, Tiger received his first heckle since returning to golf. It happened on the 10th green today, and went as follows:

Woods was in the process of missing a five-foot putt for par when two spectators acted in concert: After the first fan first yelled, “Get in the hole!” the second called out, “That’s what she said!”

Charlotte police and course security attempted to track down the hecklers but were unsuccessful as they apparently fled from the green scene.

Ha. Well, I was wondering what Dalton Duncan had been up to lately. This time he got away with it.
Judge Smails: “Do you mind sir? I’m trying to tee off!”

    Morons, this was Tiger walking from the 15th tee not going home. Boy you journalists can’t get anything right!

    What’s with this headline? Tiger missed the cut, that’s why he went home……typical misleading journalism “heckling” had nothing to do with this.
    Why does the media get away with lying and misleading?

    Woods is an arrogant, self centered, pompous individual who feels as though the world should revolve around him and his smug attitude. His recent discretions in his private life have come home to roost, and now he is paying the price in his professional life and has ruined his carefully crafted squeaky clean image.

    Heckling should be the least of his concerns, and realize that how he conducted himself prior to his accident in November 2009 has a lot to do with the resentment golf fans feel towards him now. No athlete can continually look down there nose at the fans, the media and the golfing world in general, and then expect to be forgiven for inexcusable child like behavior once their darker side is exposed.

    Why don’t you journalist do your jobs and find something else to write about…instead of beating this dead horse. It’s easy to kick someone when they’re down. Show some talent and come up with some new and insightful subjects to write about.

    Has anyone done no wrong?

    Tigers only crime was doing all these women while married, making him a POS scumbag. If he was single, more power to him!
    Nothing has been said about the women who are equally responsible, they knew he was married and should be held accountable as well.
    And ANYONE who yells “Get in the hole” should be thrown off a golf course anyway! Go back to Nascar or wrestling if you want to yell at at your “sport”, it has zero place on a golf course, morons!

    Tiger Woods is talented and should be able to play as he has in the past. What happened to the classy spectators golf used to have?Now any slob attends and it has lowered the game.
