I had my friend walking infront of me couple of times when I started to putt, that was pretty annoying.

If it weren't for Tiger Woods, Sergio and a bunch of other guys would play on a much quieter course in front of far fewer fans for a lot less money.
Take the good with the bad or, better yet, shut up and play golf. It's a championship sporting event not a church service.

Sorry bud, but he's well known for it.
Well known to whom? I have never read where Tiger has tried to disrupt someones swing or concentration ala Seve.

The haters are grasping at straws.
Yep, you're all right. Tiger is a great guy - flawless to a fault.

It's worth going back to look how Tiger behaved on the back 9 at the PGA when Yang was staying with him. Standing in inappropriate spots on the tee box, putting out and then walking to the next tee before Yang had putted out. Can't say it was charming.

So now Tiger can't use gamesmanship to his advantage either?! Some of you really are ridiculous.

Marshalsayswhat....
In the third round, on the 2nd hole, Woods hit a poor tee shot into the left trees. García hit a better tee shot, on the right side of the fairway. If the players had been communicating properly, García and Woods, or their caddies, would have established an order of play. But there was nothing like that. García, playing out of turn but not able to see Woods, was disrupted as he started his swing by a modest cheer from the woods, where a large group of spectators had surrounded Tiger, forming a human V around his ball. The cheers were a response to Woods’s pulling a five-wood out of his bag, meaning that he was going to attempt an absurdly difficult recovery shot. García, after fatting his shot, turned his round chin in Woods’s direction and glared.
“It’s very simple,” García said during an NBC interview. “You have to pay attention to what’s going on because the other guy is hitting. You do something when you’re in the crowd, and the crowd is going to respond.”
Returning serve, Woods said, “The marshals, they told me he already hit, so I pulled a club and was getting ready to play my shot, and then I hear his comments afterward and it’s not real surprising that he’s complaining about something.”
Well, when they heard that remark from Woods, the marshals were surprised. One of them, Gary Anderson, said on Sunday, “He didn’t ask us nothing, and we didn’t say nothing. We’re told not to talk to the players.”
Anderson’s boss, John North, was the chief marshal for the first three holes. He stood over Woods’s ball to protect it from the throng and was five feet away when Woods played his shot. North has worked the tournament as a volunteer marshal for 30 years, he’s a graduate of the Naval Academy, he served in Vietnam, he’s a FedEx pilot and he donates his round on the Stadium course for being a volunteer to the Wounded Warriors project.
“Nothing was said to us and we certainly said nothing to him,” North said. “I was disappointed to hear him make those remarks. We’re there to help the players and enhance the experience of the fans. He was saying what was good for him. It lacked character.”
Hours later, his workweek done, North watched the tournament on TV in a military appreciation tent. “I hate to say it, but I was rooting for him,” North said of Woods. “It tears me apart. But when he’s winning..."

So, Tiger didn't ask that guy "nothing" (sounds like a bright guy). How about this: TIGER DIDN'T ASK ANYONE ABOUT ANYTHING!
He stated that a Marshall said Sergio hit already. It might have been another Marshall, or a spectator that Tiger thought was a marshall, or a spectator standing next to a Marshall so it seemed like the Marshall was speaking.
How about this: "I wouldn't say that he didn't see that I was ready, but you do have a feel when the other guy is going to hit and right as I was in the top of the backswing, I think he must have pulled like a 5-wood or a 3-wood and obviously everybody started screaming. So that didn't help very much.'' ... So Tiger has a sixth sense that tells him when someone he can't see, 50 yards away, is going to swing and he timed his pulling of the club precisely as Sergio reached the top of his swing... really!
bwahahahah! You guys are clinging to Sergio's story as if it's pure truth, a revelation.
Sergio Garcia is professional golf's version of a 911 conspiracy theorist. Finding "evidence" to support their claim when the truth is too painful to bear. You hit a bad shot Serg... What made you drop two in the drink on 17... did a butterfly fart nearby?
Pathetic.

Lol @ the marshals trying to save their jobs.
From the same guy who interviewed the marshals-
"Bamberger: One allowance we don't make is that Tiger won so many of those majors by making other players uncomfortable. I don't think players are going to crumble in front of Tiger on Sunday afternoon the way they once did. So I don't agree with Gary that if he can win one, he can win five. Five implies that other players will be too scared to stand up to him, and I don't think they will be."
