I watched a bit of the interview of Tiger Woods and he mentioned about his performance at the US Masters. Unfortunately he came out with his filthy dirty mouth saying that he played like a "spaz" !!
Tiger you are not a champion for saying that mate. You are an idiot !!
In Adelaide papers yesterday he apologized. . he realises that word means different things in other areas. . so maybe you could soften your 'idiot' headline. . it is polite to accept an apology when it is offered.
DEMOCRACY = Voters deciding by Poll on who will be the local member that "Big Business" will push around.
I agree Giz. Look how many times other high profile sports people put their foot in 'it' and don't apologise. Tiger Woods has always been a great spokesperson for the sport of Golf and has devoted his life to something he loves. If someone makes a gaff and later apologises for it, all's well and good BUT if someone is knowingly rude and doesn't make an apology then yes, have a rant about it.
Just to add. Here some news reports on his use of 'that' word.
— Tiger Woods' agent issued an apology Friday for the golf star calling himself a "spaz" after the Masters last week.
"Tiger meant nothing derogatory to any person or persons and apologizes for any offense caused," IMG agent Mark Steinberg said on Woods' official Web site.
After finishing tied for third at the Masters on Sunday, Woods said, "I putted atrociously today. Once I got on the greens, I was a spaz."
The word "spaz" is considered by some people a derogatory way of referring to someone with physical coordination problems.
Teeing Off Woods's Remark Insensitive, Not Meant to Hurt By Leonard Shapiro Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, April 14, 2006; 1:23 PM
I got a call Tuesday from a reporter at BBC Radio, wondering if I'd go on the air to discuss the Tiger Woods controversy.
Having just returned from the Masters, and having spent four days watching Woods miss putt after make-able putt and finish tied for third in his quest for a fifth green jacket and 11th major championship, I assumed she wanted me to talk about his inexplicable inability to figure out the greens at Augusta National.
Phil Mickelson comes alive in Sunday's final round to win his second green jacket. Thomas Boswell: Mickelson can now start thinking about his legacy. Tony Kornheiser: His challengers fall away like spare parts, clearing the path for Mickelson to win the Masters. John Feinstein: Rocco Mediate's bad back flares up Sunday, derailing his shot at a green jacket. Notebook: Jose Maria Olazabal's hopes fizzle with a three-putt bogey on No. 16. The Masters has lengthened Augusta National - twice - instead of adopting a scaled-down ball. The 20th anniversary of Jack Nicklaus's historic 1986 Masters triumph has special meaning for Loritz "Scooter" Clark.
No, she said, people over here are very concerned about his language, particularly his comment that "as soon as I got on the green, I was a spaz."
I had heard Woods use that term after his final round, a day he needed 33 putts to get around the course, but in the interest of good taste, and yes, perhaps political correctness, and mostly knowing full well that my editors almost certainly would not allow "spaz" to appear, I decided not to use it.
My feeling then, and now, was that Woods had described his putting several different ways, all of them leading to the conclusion that he'd been awful.
At one point, he used the word "atrocious" in talking about his sloppy work on the greens, which certainly painted the proper picture and demonstrated his own obvious self-deprecating disgust with the state of putting. That's the quote I decided to use in my story.
DULY NOTED By Ron Kantowski <kantowsi@lasvegassun.com> Las Vegas Sun GIVE TIGER A MULLIGAN
If you wonder why athletes seem reluctant to meet the press these days, it might be because anything - and everything - they say usually winds up being used against them.
This week, none other than Tiger Woods felt a need to apologize after using the word "spaz" during a TV interview.
Although the commentators attributed Woods' poor putting at the Masters to being distraught over his father's deteriorating health, the man himself blamed it on something else.
"Once I got on the greens, I was a spaz," Tiger said.
London-based Scope, formerly known as The Spastics Society, immediately denounced Woods for making an "appalling and insensitive" remark - even though the American Heritage Dictionary lists "clumsy and inept" among its definitions of "spaz."
I suppose Tiger could have just blamed his putter.
But then he would have probably had to explain himself to officials with a lot of time on their hands at Putters Anonymous and the Royal Order of the Flat Stick.
Tiger Woods' Father Dies After a long battle with prostate cancer, Earl Woods, father of Tiger Woods, passed away Wednesday (3rd May 2006) at the age of 74.
In a statement posted on his Web site, Tiger Woods said:
I'm very saddened to share the news of my father's passing at home early this morning. My dad was my best friend and greatest role model, and I will miss him deeply. I'm overwhelmed when I think of all of the great things he accomplished in his life. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend. I wouldn't be where I am today without him, and I'm honored to continue his legacy of sharing and caring. Thank you to all who are sending condolences to my family and our Foundation. We are truly blessed to have so many who care during this difficult time.
Tiger's insensitive comments are just part of his psychopathic profile. The reason that Woods is an arrogant, immature idiot, is that he must have suffered a severe psychologiacal trauma at approximately 4 years of age. This trauma would have involved himself, or another family member being subjected to racist remarks. At that moment in his life, Eldrick was severley traumatized to discover that other people thought he was inferior. Mr. Woods has spent the rest of his life trying to prove to everyone on the planet that he is superior to all of us. Wow.
I think Michelson is a pretty great golfer, too. But Phil obviously was not a victim of psychological trauma at an early age. Such traumas almost always result in an emotional retardation complex which begins at the time of the traumatic event. The result of such an event is that the individual becomes permanently imprinted with the emotional age that corresponds to his chronological age. Thus, Tiger's emotional age is approximately 4-5 years old.
Tiger can, of course, claim to be a vicitm of racism, to explain his emotional immaturity and megalomania. This does not refute the fact that he is a psychopath, with an incredibly irritating demeanor, who is certain to stuff both feet into his quivering mouth with predictable regularity.

Elin Nordegren moves out of Tiger Wood's home By staff writers and wires From: news.com.au December 08, 2009 10:53am
AS his list of mistresses continues to grow, Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren has had enough and moved out of their $3 million luxury home. Neighbours and other sources close to Woods told [url]RadarOnline.com[/url] that Elin is living nearby in another house.
The site says Woods and his reps are keeping Elin’s move top secret in the hope she will come back to the house as soon as possible.
The world's No 1 golfer ran his Cadillac SUV into a fire hydrant and a tree while pulling out of the driveway of his home about 2am on November 27.
Soon after the crash reports Woods had an extra-marital affair with club hostess Rachel Uchitel hit the press. Now, less than two weeks after the crash, at least ten women have been linked to the golfing star - the latest a porn actress.
The Daily Mail named Holly Sampson, 36, star of the films OMG, Stop Tickling Me and Flying Solo 2 as yet another of Wood's romantic liaisons. According to the Sun, she has neither confirmed nor denied her affair with Woods.
Woods apologised to his family, fans and colleagues for his “transgressions” and said he had not been "true to my values and the behaviour my family deserves". But it may not be enough to keep his wife.
Woods and Nordegren reportedly met yesterday at their home with a man wearing a suit, the New York Post reports.
The three showed up at the house around 4 pm yesterday, TMZ.com reported. It's unclear who the man was or what the meeting was about.
Was Tiger drinking before the crash?
Meanwhile a detailed subpoena request, released by the State Attorney's Office for Orange County yesterday, added fresh intrigue to the media storm. The November 30 request by the trooper for an investigative subpoena for Woods' blood test results was rejected by the State Attorney's Office due to "insufficient information provided".
The request document listed the suspected crime as "Driving Under the Influence with Property Damage".
The subpoena request made by Trooper Joshua A. Evans said: "The driver lost control of his vehicle, crashed and was transported to the hospital. A witness stated that the driver had consumed alcohol earlier in the day and the same witness removed the driver from the vehicle after the collision."
The subpoena request did not name the witness, but Woods' Swedish wife, Elin Nordegren, told police it was she who pulled him from the car after using a golf club to smash the window of the vehicle.
The subpoena request added: "Also, the same witness stated that the driver was prescribed medication (Ambien and Vicatin (sic)). Impairment of the driver is also suspected due to the careless driving that resulted in the traffic crash."
Suitable best man choice?
Woods hasn't been seen since the crash, but he is expected to come out of hiding for a schoolfriend’s wedding in South Carolina this weekend.
Woods is to be the best man at the marriage of Bryon Bell, who heads Woods’s golf course design company.
Bell, 33, allegedly helped the golf champion to set up trysts with Rachel Uchitel, a New York nightclub hostess, including flying her to Melbourne for a secret rendezvous with Woods during the Australian Masters last month.
Tiger's rumoured women: Rachel Uchitel. The club hostess was the first of the women to be linked to Woods after the National Enquirer reported that she traveled to Australia to be with Woods during a golf tournament there. So far, she has denied the affair. Jamie Grubbs. The 24-year-old reality show contestant and cocktail waitress claims she carried on a 31-month-long affair with Woods until his crash last month. She offered a Woods voicemail to prove it. Kalika Moquin. The 27-year-old club manager from Las Vegas is reported to have had a brief sexual relationship with Woods. She would neither confirm nor deny the report. Cori Rist. The 31-year-old swimsuit model reportedly met Woods at a Manhattan club last year before they began a sexual relationship that led to Woods flying her out to various secret locations for hook-ups, and her introducing the golfer to her 7-year-old son. Jamie Jungers. The 26-year-old, who sold her story to a British newspaper, is a former employee of Trashy Girls Lingerie. She said she met Woods in Las Vegas. Mindy Lawton. The 33-year-old pancake house waitress from Orlando claims she was dumped by Woods in 2007. According to the Post, it was her affair with Woods that was caught on camera by the National Enquirer, when he was snapped dropping her off at her trailer park. The threatening news later led to a Woods Men’s Fitness cover in exchange for the magazine’s silence about the alleged affair, the New York Post reports. Holly Sampson. The 36-year-old from Los Angeles is a former porn star, who has starred in such films as OMG, Stop Tickling Me and Flying Solo 2. According to the Sun, she has neither confirmed nor denied her affair with Woods. Unidentified Alleged Mistress No. 8. A former cocktail waitress from Orlando, Florida does want to reveal her identity yet, according to her attorney Michael O’Quinn. But this she has said: at the time the affair allegedly began, she was 20 years old and met Woods at the Roxy in Orlando, where she was a VIP server. Unidentified Alleged Mistress No. 9 is reported to be a “sexy” British TV presenter who was single at the time, but is now married. Unidentified Alleged Mistress No. 10. is reported in a UK paper to be a “sex-addicted cougar.” http://www.news.com.au/enterta.....frfmqi-1225808121802 :o :B ::) :X ??)
Tiger Woods 'ready to quit golf' By Alex Peake of The Sun From: NewsCore December 11, 2009 1:00pm
TIGER Woods is reportedly ready to quit the game that made him a legend in a desperate bid to save his shattered marriage.
The world golf number one told wife Elin he "will do anything" after being linked with a string of women, The Sun reports.
Elin, 29, has agreed to stay with the 33-year-old billionaire star for the sake of their daughter Sam, two, and baby son Charlie.
But a friend told The Sun she has given him the stark ultimatum: "It's golf ... or me."
Swedish Elin, who could pocket up to $US100 million if she walks away, has drawn up a strict list of rules for Woods to follow if he wants to win her back.
The friend said: "The easy thing for Elin to do would be leave him, take the children and get a divorce. She'd never worry about money again.
"She was close to walking out for good. She decided to stay for the kids' sake - but on her terms.
"They have agreed to try and rebuild their marriage, but Elin will be the one calling the shots. It will be a long time before he's travelling the globe playing golf unless Elin's by his side.
"Tiger will have to work long and hard to ever get her to trust him again. Quitting golf shows he is willing to sacrifice something he loves so much to protect his family." Meanwhile, Woods' lawyers last night took the extraordinary step of having London's High Court ban the publication of any nude photographs and videos of the golf champion.
Despite speculation sparked by the order, the shamed sportsman's lawyers told UK newspapers and blogs in a letter that it "should not be taken as any admission that any such photographs exist".
The letter continued: "In the event they do exist they may have been fabricated, altered, manipulated and/or changed to create the false appearance and impression that they are nude photographs of our client."
The step came as former VIP escort agency owner Michelle Braun said Woods paid her to set him up with women around the world, including Australia.
Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren wants the kids and 'half his fortune' Carole Aye Maung & James Desborough of News of the World From: NewsCore December 20, 2009 6:54pm
Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren wants half of his fortune, according to a report in News of the World / AP
TIGER Woods' wife Elin Nordegren wants a divorce, sole custody and half his estimated £370 million ($671 million) fortune, according to a newspaper report.
The superstar golfer has also reportedly reneged on a promise he made to his wife to go into rehabilitation to wean himself off the prescription drugs Ambien and Vicodin.
A close friend of Ms Nordegren told the News of the World: "Tiger was supposed to be working on getting better and he hasn't done anything. Instead he just went to stay with a friend and says he's 'trying to get better on his own'.
"Elin is livid he hasn't checked into rehab and gotten himself off his drugs. He's acting like a big baby," the source said.
"Now she wants 100 per cent divorce, 100 per cent custody of the children and half of everything. And she won't be changing her mind."
Ms Nordegren is reported to have engaged the services of renowned Californian divorce lawyer Sorrell Trope, who represented Britney Spears in her court battles with Kevin Federline.
Woods has vowed to quit golf for at least the next 12 months, according to the newspaper, with the devastated star telling aides he feels "helpless" and is "not in control" of his life.
The aides also say the star is fighting deep-seated "personal issues", including his use of pain medication like Vicodin and sleeping tablets Ambien.
A source told News of the World: "Tiger is a broken man, on the edge and unable to come to terms with what's happening in his life.
"He has made it clear that he doesn't want to do anything on the golf course in the next year.
"He has realised that his golf tour life has become a no-holds-barred non-stop party. But he reckons things will blow over."
The pair's children, Sam, two, and 10-month-old Charlie will be Ms Nordegren's top priority.
"She's like a mama bear protecting her young," said the source.
"She's prepared to give him visitation - but she wants the visits to be monitored.
"This may seem a little extreme but it shows her anger. Elin firmly believes she'll win custody as well as half everything Tiger has. He's in for a fight."
According to the friend, the Swedish former model isn't even bothered whether Woods, 33, is still in contact with his mistresses.
"She couldn't give a hoot," said the friend. "She couldn't care less if he wants to ruin his life some more. 'Let him see them if he wants' is her attitude.
"Tiger is his own worst enemy because at the start, Elin was sympathetic towards him. He was so physically and emotionally ill, she was thinking of giving him a second chance. But Tiger's refusal to go into therapy is the last straw."
Elin needs to get rid of this poor excuse for a husband. Honestly, any tiny bit of empathy/sympathy I had for Tiger has dissolved in my abject disgust of his behavior. He has not conducted himself as an honorable man!
This is sad. Sure, he's a celebrity and people make mistakes and all, but that hardly excuses his abominable actions. Shame on him. His wife was even prepared to give him a second chance (even though he was in no way deserving ). Takes strength, that. Usually, I'm against money grubbing wives sucking their high-profile exes try, but in this case, I hope Elin takes him to the cleaners and puts this disgraceful, pathetic man behind her ASAP.
