Woods to be fined

#1

Post by AYHJA »

CHASKA, Minn. (AP)—Tiger Woods will be fined by the PGA Tour for his public criticism of a rules official after winning the Bridgestone Invitational, a tour official said Monday.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the tour does not publicize fines.

Woods was bothered after his four-shot victory Sunday because he and Padraig Harrington were put on the clock at the par-5 16th. He said that caused Harrington to rush three difficult shots, leading to triple bogey.

Paramor said the final pairing was well behind most of the back nine, but officials gave them time to catch up. They were still 17 minutes out of position on the 16th tee, when they were put on the clock.

Woods said he told Harrington after it was over, “I’m sorry that John got in the way of a great battle.”

Does the PGA not realize that Tiger could totally start his own tour..?

That's why he wasn't actually fined for it.

For a huge percentage of the viewers...no Tiger = no PGA....but at least they're smart enough to know that.
