Tiger's Mastered Twitter Compared To His Foundation Head

Just the image you want people to have of the foundation board after such a great year...

Meanwhile Tiger, the new Tweeter, paints a much less potentially offensive image:

Chill dude...don't try to make every little thing news worthy. This is what Twitter is all about. Some are more insightfull than others. So what. What about Hunter Mahan making deviled eggs? Now there's some news. Hunter eats.

i think the point is that the head of this charitable foundation has a tin ear when tweeting. it's sort of inconsistent with the mission and just plain bad pr to publicly announce that he's "looking at the reserve wine list."

What's offensive?

After all the TWF Board likely had to deal with considering Woods' antics and the bad economy, if Woods is paying, Greg should be looking for the most expensive bottle. I don't see why this is anything other than an attempt at light humor.

Tiger obviously surrounds himself with soulless yes-men...while Greg McLaughlin just says whatever the f*ck he wants to on twitter, and it's often what could seemingly be considered "out of bounds" for someone in Woods' camp. So shouldn't this guy be celebrated? He's probably the only one you'd want to be sitting next to at this dinner...including Tiger. I hope he gets bombed on expensive wine and tweets away...with twit-pics.

Maybe he should have been the one to "get in front" of Tiger's story a year ago.

Tiger Tweets + Rehab Complete.

Because I consider Twitter to be one of the least-important, depth-free, geek-toys ever created, the fact that Woods camp of parasitic followers actually convinced the golfer that sending meaningless messages to the few who seem to care about his daily antics is further evidence that he's as tone-deaf as ever. This neither enlightens nor brings Woods closer to the fans. His soulless, abbreviated posts share virtually nothing but there's no doubt that the surrounding boot-lickers believe this to be a major step toward "connecting" and that the expected avalanche of endorsement dough is but one floodgate away. (That's the whole point of this exercise, isn't it?)

My advice: just shut the F up and play golf. Nobody cares what you're doing, eating or drinking.

Hunter Mahan's taste in sunglasses is only made worse by his poor attempts at facial hair.

Does this guy have a clue how he looks? Ricky Fowler actually has taste compared to Mahan's 'look'.

and that's just sad.

And I'm not dissing the person. Someone just needs to tell him.

@Ky.....

home run on the yellow tail, my crown thru the nose in tribute to your LOL comment.

I hope TW has a good even keeled week. I don't care who wins. This is really one of my favorite GC's visually. Very enjoyable viewing.

Now about getting OGWR points....mmmmmm....I think Chevron gift gas cards would be more appopriate.
