Tiger fined for spittingUnhappy anniversary Tiger Woods, who one year ago this week vowed to "be more respectful" of the game of golf and marked that famous promise by being fined for spitting during a European Tour event.
The size of the financial penalty was undisclosed but the cost to an already damaged public image was clear as Woods was moved to apologise, saying the tour had "been right" to act. "It was inconsiderate to spit like that and I know better. Just wasn't thinking and want to say I'm sorry," he said in rare posting on Twitter.
The former world No1 was seen during Sunday's final round of the Dubai Desert Classic spitting on the 12th green at the Emirates golf club - an act immediately seized on by television commentators, who described Woods as arrogant and petulant. "It doesn't get much lower than that," said Sky TV's Ewen Murray..
