Tip of the cap to John Strege at GolfDigest.com's Local Knowledge for catching this column by Peter FitzSimons, who I think it can be safely said will not be heading up Australia's efforts to lure Tiger Woods back Down Under.

For though it is little noted, Woods is the most fined professional golfer of the current age, and some of it was on display during the Masters - the most appalling of which was when he duffed his shot on the 15th, and hurled his club so savagely it bounced up and landed in the crowd! Had the likes of John Daly done the same thing, it likely would have made fierce headlines and drawn extremely negative comment from all and sundry. But because it was Woods, the fawning television commentators all but ignored it, as did most of the golf writers. The question has to be asked though - who does this dickhead think he is? And how does he get away with it? Is there not some level of responsibility that goes with being the best in the world, to not behave like a petulant prig?

Who knew the Sydney Morning Herald was a tabloid!
