I fly into the FBO at Augusta frequently. I know staff who worked last Masters. Tiger demanded his own hanger. He further demanded ground staff turn away and not look at him when he disembarked from the plane and while on the ground.

Later, after the Masters ended, and prior to departure he was in the FBO; an 8 yr old child, with cancer and there waiting for an angel flight approached him for an autograph. Tiger, with raised voice said: " Get this thing away from me".

POS is what he is.

More on Tiger...........

Rick Reilly: Tiger's brother - ESPN

"In San Jose, Calif., this week, Kevin Woods will sit in his wheelchair a few feet from his television, watching his half-brother play the Masters. He has to. He can't see otherwise. Can't stand much lately, either. Can barely use his left arm at all. He can feel his hands and feet going a little more numb every day. Kevin was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2009, and it's not getting better. "I'd say 60 to 70 percent worse now," says Kevin's brother, Earl Woods Jr. "He's not going to be able to keep his house much longer." All three men had the same father, Earl Woods, but Earl Jr. says they haven't heard from Tiger since they buried Earl's ashes in Kansas six years ago. "I leave messages," Earl Jr. says. "I leave updates on Kevin, but for whatever reason I don't get a response. … Kevin loves Tiger. A call from Tiger would really pump Kevin up. When he doesn't call, it just makes him feel worse." "

And yesterday at the Masters.....

News from The Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- It's a question we've all been asking since he wrecked his Escalade and his life that Thanksgiving night 30 months ago.

Who is Tiger Woods really?

Part of the answer came Friday in a foul-mouthed, club-kicking back nine at the Masters that would have gotten you or me thrown off much lesser golf courses than Augusta National.

Pretty simple, actually. He's an embarrassment to his sport.

They say if u play a round of golf with somebody u can assess their personality pretty
quickly. Tiger's game within a game, ie. kicking clubs is not a good example of a gentleman's game as mentioned by the above poster. Way to go whoever can control their temper best. I am impressed by Rory McIlroy to come back so well. He is not hard on himself. Expletives/swearing are not appreciated especially on tv. All is well in Matt Kucher's world, he is still smiling that wonderful smile. Overall just a great bunch of guys with a few exceptions

There is a nice big picture of Freddie Couples in my local paper with a big smile on his face. Hardworking, beautiful easy swing, does not seem to get down on himself. Tiger could take some behavioral lessons from him.

The story my brother told me about Eldick and Earl at the Ben Hogan Invitational, Irving, Tx, in 1990 is still burned in my mind. Like father like son. My brother was working the Jr. tournament at the TPC, Las Colinas and had direct contact with both of them. They demanded a towel, were instructed as to where they were by my bro, and both threw a tantrum because he wouldn't go get it.

Some things never change.

Go Freddie!

Couldn't agree more. You learn a lot about a persons character when you play a round of golf with them.

So he is frustrated, big deal.
The best player of all time.
Go Tiger.
