Tiger Woods has had his feuds over the years (see: Sergio Garcia). The spitting contest between the world No. 1 and Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee may have finally come to an end but we’ll have to wait until next year to know for certain.
Tiger Woods enjoyed a five-victory, player-of-the-year 2013 season in which he regained the No. 1 spot in the world and repeatedly praised his overall performance as "pretty damn good."
On the flip side, Woods flopped in the four grand slam events and ended pitching a shutout in the majors for a fifth straight year. He was also in the spotlight, as he is wherever he is, on or off the course (and deep in Brandel Chamblee’s doghouse), for incurring four high-profile (is there any other way with Tiger?) penalties.
Chamblee, in assigning Woods an "F" for the season, as part of his year-ending report card, backed up the grade with a highlight reel of Tiger’s well-documented 2013 rules faux pas:
- An illegal drop at the Abu Dhabi Championship, which cost Woods a weekend tee time in his first global contest of the year
- That much-investigated improper drop at the Masters, which sparked extensive forensic scrutiny and came close to earning Tiger a DQ
- A controversial drop at the Players Championship that had Johnny Miller in full froth
- The removal of a twig during the BMW Championship that caused Woods’ ball to move and the golfer to refuse to concede, despite video evidence to the contrary, that his Nike One Tour D did more than "oscillate"
