Which PGA player shows the worst sportsmenship on tour? ....anything goes, this includes cursing, throwing clubs, refusing to yell "fore" when hitting into the crowd, kicking clubs, refusing to sigh autographs, screaming at your caddie, etc... Billy Payne should toss this guy...

In all fairness you would have to have the media show all the footage. Every golfer slams a club, swears, walks off in frustration or gets mad at their caddie. You only see what ends up on the television. What about the guys that are on the course during the 'off air' times? They all have bad rounds and get frustrated. I don't condone Tigers behavior but he isn't the only player out there acting out. Why toss him? It is exciting and interesting to see the hype that 'Tiger's back' and then watch the demons get back into his head. He looked mortal out there today and the threat of Tiger in the hunt has been diminished for this tournament. Hopefully one day we will just see Tiger playing golf again instead of trying to mechanically work his way around the course. His natural ability to play the game has disappeared for the time being.

It was an homage to Bobby Jones.

I don't know what you were watching but I saw quite a few of the golfers bang clubs on the ground in frustration, curse and not yell "Fore", "Left" or "Right" on bad drives. If you play golf you should now how frustrated you can get and probably have done the same things yourself a few times. Tiger is held to a higher standard then any other golfer which is the reward for having been one of the best. Unfortunately the media coverage of Woods is greater than any other golfer playing and therefore you see his bad moments as much as you see his good. In any sport you find athelets playing at their highest level get frustrated and angry. This subject has been beaten to death, maybe you should find some other high horse to ride and get off tigers back finally. Do I like seeing this behavior in any sport? NO, but I do see it in every sport.

So Kegan gets slammed for spitting, but Tigers wonderful behavior is suddenly ok? It was entertaining, but I believe he should be raked over for his kicking the iron bare minimum. Even if it's just the public, like Kegan. Now spitting is gross, but Kegan manned up. What about Tiger? Too good?

Craig Stadler actually broke clubs......before he threw them or kicked them.
