Tiger Woods Fined

Lesson learned for pro golfer, Tiger Woods. Reports from ESPN has confirmed that Tiger Woods has been fined by the PGA after blurting out some personal comments at Bridgestone Invitational. The amount of the fine was not revealed by the PGA but they were able to release an official statement about Tiger Woods questioning the officials.

"It is an obligation of membership to refrain from comments to the news media that unreasonably attack or disparage tournaments, sponsors, fellow members, players or PGA Tour."

In a separate interview, fined Tiger Woods released a statement saying:

"Like I was telling him out there, 'I'm sorry that John (the course official) got in the way of a great battle,' because it was such a great battle for 16 holes. We're going at it, head-to-head, and unfortunately that happened. Paddy and I will definitely do it again. I don't think that Paddy would have hit the pitch shot that way if he was able to take his time, look at it, analyze it. But he was on the clock, had to get up there quickly and hit it."


If you ask me the fine of not a big deal for Tiger Woods as he is one of the highest paid athlete worldwide. The matter here is that Tiger Woods, who rarely gives his opinion, has been fined after just releasing which to me as petty statements normal in any sports.
