Tiger Snaps After Being Snapped

If there’s one golfer we wouldn’t want to annoy, it would be Tiger Woods. Firstly because he’s built like a brick outhouse, and secondly because we’re still slightly suspicious that he’s actually a Terminator-like android who shows no mercy to those who stand in his way. So why people keep taking pictures of him during his swing is beyond us. It happened again in the WGC in Doral on Sunday, when on the ninth-hole a photographer fired his shutter during Tiger’s downswing. He was understandably furious, letting out a rant - that included threatening to break the next offender’s neck - punctuated with profanity. Eyebrows were raised, but can you blame him? It’s the fourth time it’s happened this year, and on three of those occasions (including this one) he went on to make a bogey. It’s not only this season that it’s been going on either, remember the 2002 Skins Game when his caddy, Steve Williams threw a spectators camera into the lake by the 18th green after disturbing Tiger while he was playing a crucial bunker shot?

The problem is, can you stop it from happening? We need pictures from golf tournaments, so banning photography entirely is out of the question. We’ve come up with some possible punishments for the guilty snappers…

1. Force the culprit into an Ultimate Fighting match against Steve Williams.

2. Confiscate the camera and let Tiger use the lens as a tee on the range.

3. Make the snapper play the shot himself – and see if the sound of a shutter (or several) puts him off.



4. Woodsy could rugby tackle them and crack them in half like this.
