Tiger Woods Gives Gallery the Gas, Winning Buick Open [fart video]

2009-08-03 by


I could not help but laugh 20 minutes before writing this. According to stories and a video on YouTube, Tiger Woods is back in true form swing wise, and gastronomically. The world’s finest player ended a dry streak by winning the Buick Open this weekend, but being 20 under for the tournament and 1 under on the “farting  in public” scorecard may not have been the headline the big guy expected.

This is the first time I can remember such a dignified sport being brought down to Earth. Tiger Woods is by anyone’s account, a gentleman, but his rather loud “gas explosion” on the 18th fairway at Warwick Hills. Ironically, this is not the first time Tiger has stolen a win with a fart according to experts (golf that is). Woods reportedly let one rip at the ‘Arnold Palmer classic back in March as well. Not presupposing anything here, but if farting is what it takes, we suggest Woods load up on the chili’s and beans before his next outing.

The video below reveals the commentators urging Woods to “let is release” (wonder if they meant to stroke or the fart?) You gotta love this on a bad news day.
Update: New Fart video below, as The PGA is chasing the gas off of the Internet. They cannot have dignified golfers thought of as rude, crude and socially unacceptable.
