As shocked as I was to hear the flippant remarks by Kelly from the Golf Channel. I can't say I was surprised. It has become an annual occurrence to hear some racially divisive comment from the world of golf. More depressing is the insensitivity of the viewers, readers and even Tiger. The majority of African-American golf fans are 40+ and their connection to those comments weigh heavier than an athlete with a vaunted interest in the golf world. Done with golf and Tiger.

Al Sharpton is a RACIST. Just because you are black does NOT mean that you cannot be racist. Al Sharpton looks for anything he can to get on TV or to get his name in the news. If anyone (of ANY race) should be lynched, it should be him.

Hey Hayes,
You actually are going to give up golf because of what Kelly said and Tiger's reaction to it?? Golf is better off without you if you are going to be such a bigot.
That really is quite stupid!!!

Poppa always said "a woman should only entertain in the bedroom." So Kelly, be a good girl and get back where you belong and leave a man's world to the rightful owners.

What a bunch of dummies. WHAT SHE SAID were words to the effect: "... it looks like the only way to beat him would be to take him into an alley and lynch him." Oh, well, we twist everything nowadays, and we're too stupid to comprehend the English language, written or oral.

Tilghman's image is lynched forever. Her bio will always include the unfortunate comment she said.
However, Tiger is doing better than ever.

Get a life;
What kelly said was real honest - and not racist. During Palmer's Hey Day, or Jack's big run, about the only way to have stopped them would have been at the end of a rope. It was a cute remark. As an announcer, give her a break. She proable knows more about golf than 75 percent of the folks out there. I am a sports columnist for a daily newspaper and I applaud her style. By the way there werte twin sisters named Millie and Billie Keeter whose parents owned a course in North Myrtle Beach. Do you know if this was same couse Kelly grew up on?

I really like Kelly Tilghman. I think she is Great. Every thing about her. The way she covers Golf, her looks and style. She is why I watch the Golf Channel. I thank the Golf Channel for keeping her. Remember we are only human we all make mistakes on her coment on Tiger Woods. Lighten up people !!!

Lighten up. Would it had been racist if she had said the same of Phil? I think not. All she meant was that he is such a dominate player, that may be their only hope in winning tournaments. Sharpton's job requires extremist action, otherwise, he'd have no public exposure. I'm glad Tiger has handled himself in a respectable and professional manner through this and other remarks made about him. He's been a class act.

Kelly "plays" for the other team. Kelly is a carpet muncher. Kelly doesn't have a woman's body.

Kelly is one of the most unattractive LESBIAN announcers on the golf channel. Please replace her with hot mama Laura Baugh.
Kelly is so mismatched when she is paired with Faldo.
