It is one thing for Brandel Chamblee to criticize Tiger Woods' swing and quite another thing to question the No. 1 player in the world's veracity.

Let's hope he is not equating Tiger's character on the golf course with that of his marital history. Let's hope that Chamblee actually has a genuine reason behind his accusations, like his own personal experience in e...
