Tiger Woods gets heckled by little kid at golf tournament
Woods gets heckled by young boy

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Seconds after getting an autograph from Phil Mickelson, a young boy decided to talk a little trash to Tiger Woods.

As Woods walked by following his round, the kid yelled, "Tiger, say so long to No. 1. Kiss it goodbye."

The kid wasn't subdued by a Taser or removed from TPC Sawgrass. Woods, meanwhile, showed no reaction. He was more concerned with getting back on track after another mediocre round.

5. Some snot-nosed kid
needs to be taken aside by a parental unit, and have explained to him that the golf course is not the hockey rink.

16. The question is not whether an athlete is deserving
it's what's the expected standard of behavior in each of the separate venues.

12. Trash talking
Im sure Lebron James gets that all the time from fans when playing in Boston...so Tiger can take a little verbal assault as well

15. You make it sound like just because he has 1st amendment rights he should
always exercise them. That's ridiculous and would turn people into bigger monsters than they already are.

I applaud that the kid has 1st amendment rights but hopefully his parents will have a talk with him about when is the right time to exercise them. Then again he probably talks to them the same way he talked to Tiger.

22. Oh goody. Another asshole-in-training
Probably courtesy of his parents and their 'teaching'. Would a kid really give a flyin' fig about a No. 1 golf ranking?
