Tiger Woods will be fined for spitting during the Dubai Desert Classic over the weekend, according to the LA Times.
“Tournament director Mike Stewart has reviewed the incident and feels there has been a breach of the tour code of conduct and consequently Tiger Woods will be fined,†the European Tour said in a statement this morning.
Woods was on the 12th green, and after becoming frustrated with his lackluster performance, he spit on the golf course. Former tour professional turned commentator Ewen Murray said, "You look at his work ethics and he is a credit to the game and an inspiration to all of those who are trying to become professional golfers but there are some parts of him that are just arrogant and petulant. Somebody now has to come behind him and maybe putt over his spit. It does not get much lower than that."
