Watching golf on TV on the weekends, it is not unusual to see a player, including Tiger, spitting on the golf course and even on the greens. What was so unusual about this time? Does Tiger have a cold and came up with a nastier gob than he had thought? Has the European Tour come up with some new rules? Why all the snark with no further details of the infraction?
I've not been following either his game, earnings or divorce. I did see yesterday that he finished 20th and his earnings for the past year or two are way down.
Could this have something to do with the divorce? Does his ex get a percentage of his future earnings?
If so, might he be purposely earning less to avoid having to pay less alimony?
There was Donald Westlake story along these lines. A singer was in dispute with the IRS. He got framed for a murder and didn't defend himself until the IRS decided that he was guilty and would go after past earnings and let future earnings alone.
Soon as the ink was dry, he pulled out an iron clad alibi and got off of the murder charge.
According to the Business Insider, spitting is against the law in Dubai and subject to fine. Doesn't say whether the caning may be an option. If it was, I suspect his former spouse would offer to lend a hand.
The fact that he spit on a golf course isn't that important. What's important is that he spit on the green. The putting surface. Big difference. And it was a thick chunk of flem type crud. Which could end up on other golfers golf balls.
The spitting is nothing. Worse are the hicks that spit sunflower seeds on the green(s). A little bit 'o skrok won't slow a 30 footer like a seed can redirect.

This guy has to start boffing the whores again.
His game has gone to hell since he decided to become an honest man.
Well, I'm assuming he became an honest man. Did he?
The important thing to remember here is that one guy, on one golf course, a half a world away, spat.
And that was videotaped for later review.
But no video of Tea Partiers spitting on Emmanual Cleaver can be found.
""one of the ugliest things you will ever see on a golf course.""
Ha, I don't think so.
Well, I'm assuming he became an honest man. Did he?
If divorced, he has no real reason to be, correct?
"one of the ugliest things you will ever see on a golf course."
Have you ever watched an LPGA event?
If divorced, he has no real reason to be, correct?
Well, let me rephrase that:
Has he stopped hitting on every whore he meets?
Because his game has gone to hell.
He must have really needed the daily fix of new pussy.
What has he lost? Some money, without a doubt. His reputation. His wife.
That's about it - sure, he probably sees his children with less frequency, but as a traveling pro, he probably didn't see them that much anyway.
Maybe he needs a new swing coach, again. His choice of Nike clubs is dubious, too.
Has he lost his focus? His drive to dominate? Golf is mental, and mentally he has to be a wreck.
So, which of those losses caused him start to suck on the course? My guess is the loss of his swing is what is causing him the greatest difficulty.
WV: couss - well alrighty then...
In before "that, my friends, is one magic loogie".
As soon as I learn Swedish,
I will be working on my book about Elin & Tiger. "The Girl With the Billion Dollar Niblick".

"somebody now has to come behind him and maybe putt over his spit."
Yup, that's one way to putt it.
"one of the ugliest things you will ever see on a golf course."
And no mention of Jim Furyk's swing. Heh.
Video Woods spitting
Somebody now has to come behind him and maybe putt over his spit. It does not get much lower than that."
His conduct is improving.
At least, Elin didn't come after him with a 5 iron this time.
This is news why?
Sorry but Tiger does not warrant this level of scrutiny when he only was 20th in a 2nd rate tournament.
Soon, he will be in a class with John Daly.

Absolutely disgusting. he should be banned for 10 years.
OMG, there goes all his endorsements. Unless someone can use him as an endorsement for their spittoon company.
Does anybody still manufacture spittoons?
Back in the day, apparently, everybody spit. Now, you can't.
Tiger just didn't know.
The spitting is nothing. Worse are the hicks that spit sunflower seeds on the green(s). A little bit 'o skrok won't slow a 30 footer like a seed can redirect.
Seed eaters should be banned from golf.
At least it wasn't a snot rocket.
I'm a runner and believe me, those things are dangerous. Though to be fair, I've gotten pretty good at them myself.
That's snot funny.
...expelling bodily fluids in the wrong place again
Implying that some of the places he expelled them before were wrong.
How oppresively monagamo-normative of you.
More spitting in the news: Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan responds to alleged loogie
Maybe this means he is going to give up golf and take up baseball.
