    Just saw this on Sky News

    http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12176_6080770,00.html

    Look Tigers is a dick for doin what he did but who the hell does this Billy Payne lad and the rest of the Augusta muppets think they are comin out and sayin this. Its none of their business what Tiger did in he personal life and for them to come out and lay their almighty judgment like this upon him is ridiculous. Yet again proves what a sheltered cocoon those Augusta lads live in and how they think is appropriate for them to do this. Just imo.

    hardly 5 minutes of fame... billy paynes pretty well known over there... he's pretty much soley responsible for the olympics going to atlanta in 96 when it was considered a massive long shot. as you can imagine it brought 100s of millions in infrastucture/tourism/facilities to the whole state of georgia. it literally transformed atlanta. the dude went on to chair the board throughout its duration - no mean feat in itself.

    dont know if youve heard about the olympics.... kindof a big deal. ;) and to say he's hugely respected by the PGA is an understatement.

    if you saw the whole interview his candour wasnt remotely condescending and he refused to comment on any of the tabloidesque questions from the media.

    frankly im not massive fan of the guy either but youve got to respect the guy.

    but when he says...

    "I hope he now realises that every kid he passes on the course wants his swing, but would settle for his smile"

    beautifully put.... and aside from all the scandal and the bull.... something TW should rectify.

    I could care less if this guy cured cancer last week. I saw enough of his speel and he was acting in the typical 'odd' Augusta 'bow before me' behaviour.

    He or they have absolutley no right to pass any kind of puiblic critique of Tiger Woods' behaviour. Tiger Woods has done enough the sport of golf and for those oddballs in the green jackets and he should be spared something as be-littleing as that public spanking by the golf daddies.

    cool bananas. just saying he's not some random muppet wheeled out.

    the fact that he's commenting on how tiger should behave and using a press conference at the masters as a forum to do so is questionable, agreed.

    but then if your pointing the finger of blame for all this unwelcome media snooping and prying and opinions over the course of the wknd - there is really only one person to blame.

    Don't you think Tiger Woods is already acutely aware of what he has done, and how it was received by the general public?? The media are just stirring it to get more column inches filled.

    Oh, just to add: What Tiger Woods does in his private life, is nobody's business. Even if he is a public figure.

    Leave the guy alone, and let his golf do the talking.

    dear lord. what are you on about!?

    i think you missed my point.

    when i say...

    .... im not being critical of your precious tiger, im agreeing with the OP.

    and when i say...
    but then if your pointing the finger of blame for all this unwelcome media snooping and prying and opinions over the course of the wknd - there is really only one person to blame.

    ... i think its a fair point. what so you expect the media... especially the more dispicable .com media sites... what do you expect them to do? turn a blind eye... please, get real.

    i hope woods does well this wknd... its always, always, always more fun when TW's in the hunt. not his no.1 fan by any means but if he wins i'll be just a awestruck as everyone else.

    god im so done with this preciousness. my initial post was to clarify who billy payne was... relax the head.
