Kelly Tilghman who is the lead announcer for the Golf Channel made a comment during Friday's round of the Mercedes Championship that golf young players should "lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley." We have seen many racist remarks costing broadcasters money and/or careers. The sad part about this is that Tilghman was allowed to broadcast Saturday's event without providing an apology to the viewers or addressing the subject. On Sunday, she read an on-air apology but has not faced any real discipline yet. Lets see how the Golf Channel handles things with Tilghman over the coming weeks before making final judgements.
The other issue that goes on with this topic is Tiger Woods has made the PGA Tour an absolute joke in the events he does not take part in. There is zero coverage of non-Tiger events on the news and to win a PGA Tour event without Tiger in it. He is playing in a small number of events and playing overseas where he is allowed Appearance fees which are higher then some of the purses which is the reason why you see Tiger over in Dubai and Asia on occasions. How can the PGA Tour fix these issues?

Kelly is such an Amazon woman. She would totally beat the tar, err... "lynch" Tiger Woods.
I have met her and she is just a tall woman that knows how to use a stick....LOL
Wow, that's her? She looks much more boneable in the picture we used.
Definitely downgraded now to 'slightly boneable'.
Wonder if she is in to bondage?
