Tiger Woods is getting annoyed about the shutter snapping of cameras while making his swing. In an incident last week, he threatened the photographer using obscene language. Woods has high competitive spirit and high expectations in his play, but he is frustrated when the expected result is not obtained. He gave threat of bodily harm to the photographer who snaps the next photo during the swing.
Woods later said that this problem was going on for a while with the players who enter the last group of golf matches including PGA. He admitted that such distractions have started to affect his play. Woods said that three out of four times when it happened he made a bogey. At the crucial time of making a birdie he will end up making a flinch due to the snap sound. He complained that such distractions will take the momentum of the game of golf which a player might have created with great effort.
