Tiger Fined For Paramor Slam; Exclusive Details Here!

Doug Ferguson reports the stunning news that Tiger Woods will be fined for criticizing guest official John Paramor after Sunday's WGC Bridgestone. Ferguson writes:

Section VI-D in the PGA Tour’s player handbook reads, “It is an obligation of membership to refrain from comments to the news media that unreasonably attack or disparage tournaments, sponsors, fellow members, players of PGA Tour.”

I managed to tap a few sources in Ponte Vedra and landed a copy of Tiger's weekly fine summary, confirming our worst fears that he is indeed making a charitable donation in the name of John Paramor.

Gentleman,

Congratulations on another exciting win at Firestone in the World Golf Championships Bridgestone.

As always, it wasn't without offenses as enforced via the PGA TOUR© Player Handbook Rules and Regulations governing player conduct.

I know you have a quick turnaround with the PGA Championship and more importantly, the PGA TOUR© PLAYOFFS fast approaching. So without further ado, this week's offenses and fines where applicable:

- Multiple and profane usage of the word starting in f and ending in k, a.k.a. F-bomb. Six such finable offenses, as limited to verifiable offenses as outlawed pursuant to Section V-A, code 41.23: $1000 a piece, total $6000 donation to charity of your choice, as selected at year's commencement (Tiger Woods Foundation).

- Use of the Lord's name in vain, as heard by standard bearer (name withheld to protect the anonymous), 16th tee, round 2, pursuant to Section V-A, code 121.6, The Jesus Clause: $500 donation to charity of Zach Johnson choice.

- General douchebaggery in final round press conference as enforceable by Commissioner's Discretionary Clause, pursuant to but not limited by Section VI-D, code 32.91: $5000

- Gross violation of Section VI-D, code 41.7 related to disparaging comments directed at and limited to visiting European Tour rules official John Paramor: $10,000

As always, I remind you that when imposing a fine pursuant to the provisions as laid out above and detailed in the PGA TOUR© Player Handbook, the PGA TOUR© shall consider the profit gained by defendant's conduct on behalf of charity and determine whether the amount of said fine is disproportionate to the conduct in which the defendant engaged, its impact on the PGA TOUR © processing department, the defendant's place in the PGA TOUR© FedEx CUP Points Standings and any other extenuating circumstances. Should the PGA TOUR© determine that said fine is directing a disproportionate capital extension to charities as pre-selected by defendant, the PGA TOUR© reserves the right to retain 50% of collected capital for basic operations and collection processing expenses.

I'll get this week's tally ($21,500) taken out of your Bridgestone winnings and directed to the appropriate charities.

Thanks again and best of luck in the PLAYOFFS!

Yours In Discipline,

Steven C. Tawdry
