Golf Channel Anchor Says Golfers Should Lych Tiger Woods

Kelly Tilghman, a former golfer for Duke University and now a play-by-play analyst for The Golf Channel, said some things that have her in hot water.

During a telecast of the PGA Tour's opening event, Tilghman said that today's young players should "lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley."

According to Newsday, a spokesman for the Golf Channel said tha Tilghman apologized during Sunday's broadcast and has "reached out to Woods' representatives to express regret for the comments."

In light of the events at Duke University in the past and the Don Imus incident, this event is not surprising. At the same time, one would be surprised that Tiger Woods would be the subject of such an alarming statement.
