The average wage in Mexico is below that of the USA. This is a fact.
Perhaps Kuchar was right to pay his Caddie next to nothing when he won out in Mexico a few years back? After all Mexicans are worth less?

That is possibly the worst analogy I’ve EVER seen 😬
 
Not sure being offended has much to do with it tbh. He’s entitled to do what he chooses and others are perfectly entitled to decide what they think about it.

My personal opinion is as I said, don’t do it in a tournament where your entire round is being filmed if you don’t want people to potentially talk about it. My initial reaction when I read it, was also to laugh. My wife and daughters all thought he was crass and I was too for finding it remotely amusing.

They’re right, I’ll still laugh at jokes like that, he’s an idiot for doing it. All of those can coexist.
 
Jezzz what a storm in a tea cup
In the world of full swing where we see behind the scenes and it's interesting we have to suffer micro analysis of a joke

Mountain out of a mole hill with teegate the other week now tampongate

We had JT fired by sponsors few years ago yes his common wasn't on but we should never have heard it

Tiger has been moaned about being too serious for years , good to see him having a laugh

And to say kutcher is racist for underpaying his caddie? Kutcher is famously tight . He isn't racist he just bit of a twit

The only people seemingly unable to coexist are those that are angry that someone might be offended

Still can’t believe he went to the effort of actually getting said item and packing it in his bag, particularly for a high profile tournament that he’s the host of, that’s some dedication to “banter”, right there…!

Maybe he just borrowed one from a player much further down the leaderboard who doesn't even hit it as far as Justin??? FB_IMG_1652700931877.jpg

All it makes me think is - he had to buy the tampon, pack it in his suitcase, make the decision what day to bring out the tampon, put tampon in golf bag and then choose which hole it bring it out on..

Serious commitment for a bit of banter.

I now love Tiger more :ROFLMAO:

TBH, we were just discussing this and what I think is particularly sad is, Tiger trying to re-invent himself as a "character", now that he can't compete he's Mr Jolly, and he simply isn't a funny guy. Faldo tried something similar when he first moved into commentary and soon realised funny was not his thing, hopefully this helps Tiger do the same

Childish and not a great look. Some will have a fit about it. The only people who actually be offended, will be offended on behalf of someone who isn’t actually bothered by it.

Tiger spent his prime hiding his personality. Now we all know why.

The more personal things we see about him, the more unpleasant he seems.

1) prolific cheater
2) terrible driver
3) “lad”

He’s a great golfer. Not much else that’s role model material.

I certainly wouldn’t want my kids wanting to be like him.

But he’s just a normal bloke, not and angel as are most of us so why should he need to live his life blemish free? because that’s what others expect.

I sure hope those offended by tiger are 100% faithful, no children out of marriage, do not break the speed limit, are 100% on their tax return, do not swipe the odd sweet when filling their pick n mix bag etc etc etc…… where do you draw the line?

Why should people be critiqued for just being bloody normal and dropping a mild joke between too good friends. Society is well and truly screwed!

An English man, Irish man and Scotsman walk into a bar?

* is this racist? We’re referring to nationalities?

* is this sexist? Why couldn’t they be three women?

* do the identify as men? They could be penguins (Piers Morgan joke)

* they walked so is this discriminating against those with physical disabilities?

In society’s eyes it should be:

Three non binary persons appear in a bar….
