Golf Channel Anchor Kelly Tilghman Says Young Golfers Should 'lyn

Kelly Tilghman, a former college golfer at Duke who now is play-by-play announcer for The Golf Channel's PGA Tour broadcasts.

Tilghman made a shocking comment during Friday's telecast of the PGA Tour's opening event. She said -- on the air -- that today's young players should "lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley."

What was Tilghman thinking? Who knows. It's not entirely clear what point Tilghman was trying to make with what she apparently thought was a joke, but she may have been trying to say that the only chance today's young players will ever have of overtaking Woods as the No. 1 golfer in the world is to hurt him. Hilarious.

According to New York's Newsday, a spokesman for the Golf Channel said Tilghman apologized during Sunday's broadcast and has "reached out to Woods' representatives to express her regrets for the comments."

Apologizing and reaching out is better than nothing, but it's rather surprising that the apology took two days and that in the era of Don Imus, so little attention has been paid to this comment. It's hard to understand how a person who would use such a poor choice of words is in the broadcasting business.

Who cares? it was probably made as a joke. Probably taken way outta context.
that probably is the only way that young golfers will have a chance is to take tiger woods in a back alley and lynch him..

That is exactly how I feel on the subject too man.

They need a list of things that aren't offensive to blacks. So they can avoid the ridiculous apologies.

i love how people get all asshurt over the dumbest things

but heres something to ponder

why arent many people getting all wadded up over this one......but they wanted to lynch imus over what he said??
