Kelly Tilghman apologizes for “lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley” comments
Hooked On Golf Blog — The Golf Channel is so “Tiger Googoo.” I guess that’s why they’re TGC, or “Tiger Googoo Channel.” TGS’s announcers spout out anything random they can as long as the words “Tiger Woods” are included.

This, after he had spent decades trafficking in exactly the same sort of racial humor without incident.
