Watson has advice for Tiger…on and off the course

Posted at 10:44 AM by Steve Beslow | Categories: Tiger Woods, Tom Watson

PGA legend Tom Watson has joined the litany of Tour players chiming in on Tiger’s matrimonial disharmony and eventual return to the game, and he tells Kansas City's NBC Action News that the world’s No. 1 golfer doesn’t just need to work on his behavior at home. After describing Woods’s current personal fiasco as “bad for our game,” and “something that he needs to get control of,” the 8-time major winner took a shot at some of Tiger’s ungentlemanly conduct on the course.

“His swearing and his club throwing, should, that should end,” said Watson. "That’s not part of what we want to project as far as the professional golf tour is concerned.”

In case you were wondering, this is not the first time the Kansas City native has taken Tiger to task on his manners. In September, Watson admitted that he dropped Woods a note about his behavior at some point last summer, although Watson described the letter as “personal," and wouldn’t share the details at that time.
