AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger Woods has teed off at the Masters as the overwhelming favorite.
He has already won three times this year and reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the world rankings. Woods is playing Thursday in a group with Luke Donald and Scott Piercy on an overcast day at Augusta National
Using Kung-Fu to market a golf game? The makers of ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13,’ Electronic Arts, seem to think it’s a good idea. EA has unveiled a viral commercial starring the basketball giant Shaquille O’ Neal and the game’s title master Tiger Woods. Dressed in traditional samurai garb, the two sports legends bow in honor before…well, you’ll have to watch.
During the recent Chevron World Championship, one golf fan/comfort food enthusiast shouted ‘Mashed potatoes!’ during Tiger Woods’ back-swing after he teed off on the 18th hole at Sherman Oaks on Sunday. Why? Nobody knows.
During Sunday’s final round of the Frys.com Open, a fan ran at Tiger Woods — who was putting on the seventh green — yelled the former world number one’s name, and then tossed a hot dog at him.
“When I looked up, the hot dog was already in the air,” Woods said. “The bun was kind of disintegrating.”
After 778 consecutive weeks as one of the top 50 golfers, Tiger Woods dropped out of the sport’s elite this week.
Woods, now ranked 51st in the world, is recovering from injuries to his knees and Achilles tendon that had him sidelined. He finished 2010 in second, and tied for fourth at the Masters earlier this year.
Tiger Woods’ surprising struggles on the golf course continued when he failed to make the weekend cut at the PGA Championship in Atlanta. But the 14-time major champion and former top-ranked golfer can be secure in the knowledge that he still has at least one extremely passionate fan.
