He ended the weekend in less than stellar fashion by shooting a 75 on Sunday to finish seven shots behind the winner, and he was fined for spitting on the course. Maybe not the most egregious act in the world, but golf is a gentleman’s game and that’s...

Tiger Woods spit on the 12th green at the Dubai Desert Classic‒let’s suspend him from all tours for a period of six months. Heck, let’s make him golf’s version of Pete Rose and ban him from the game forever. But before we do all that, we better get Horatio Caine over to Dubai to take a sample from the 12th green and send it over to forensics to see if Woods did indeed spit on...

Just as we were beginning to move on from Tiger Woods‘ divorce and other off-the-course antics, it is now something on the links that has a lot of people upset (and no, it is not his lack of winning). During the second round of the Dubai Dessert Classic, Woods crouched over and spit on the 12th green after missing a putt for par. ‘Disgusting, what he has just done there.” said...

At only 20 years old, he is one of the most promising prospects in the men’s game. He has arguably the most devastating serve in tennis at this point in time. Against...
