On Friday at the Masters, Tiger Woods did not play very well. He played so poorly, actually, that on the 16th hole, his frustration came out in the form of a 9-iron kick that had a lot of fans rolling their eyes and mentioning Tiger's supposed changes that he mentioned two years ago at an infamous press conference.
Tiger is of course human, and every golfer gets frustrated at times (just ask a 56-degree wedge of mine), but critics are critics and they come in the form of Paul Azinger.
The former PGA Championship winner spoke to Mad Dog Radio and had this to say about Tiger's behavior at the Masters last week.
"Tiger's antics this week were an embarrassment to the game, to the membership at Augusta," Zinger said. "I was really disappointed to see him carry on that way. He's not trying to endear himself to anybody. And after he won Bay Hill I thought, ‘here we go again, this is going to be Tiger just kicking butt and taking names.' I don't k...

Paul Azinger rips Tiger Woods for kicking club: ‘He acted like the south end of the northbound mule’
When Tiger Woods kicked his club on the 16th hole during the second round of The Masters last week, a lot of people were outraged. With the way he had been playing, you can understand why Tiger was so frustrated.

Did Tiger Woods ‘Jump The Shark’ This Weekend?
The answer, of course, is no. He didn’t.
Sure, Tiger Woods was both putrid and petulant this weekend – putrid in swinging the club, petulant in kicking it – and was a non-factor from late Friday on. But all it will take is for the next Major to roll around for Woods to dominate the golf discourse again.
Should he win said Major, or any one thereafter, his pursuit of Jackâ€...

Post-Masters Tiger: ‘Not going to look at clubs for a while’
After finishing last weekend's Masters like a 15 year-old Junior golfer, kicking and throwing clubs as if his Mommy told him he couldn't get ice cream after the game, grown man Tiger Woods told his fans this week that he he's taking a few weeks off instead of playing golf for money like a professional.

A Tradition Unlike Any Other…Picking Your Nose At The Masters
Our friends at Ride The Pine sent us this from the Masters nose picker digging one out during the final round. Listen, it doesn’t matter what Peter Hanson is up to, a boog that has to come out, has to be dug out.
