Tiger Woods: Controlling temper work in progress

Tiger Woods prides himself on being able to control every aspect of his game, apart from an occasional loose tongue.

I'm glad this issue was brought forward during the press conference. Now perhaps everyone can move on. "It is what it is", nothing more nothing less. Tiger gets upset with himself and expresses it. It's spontaneous, not rehearsed. I would imagine if one is good enought to know that they are highly capable of making a particular shot, because they have done it many times before, and fails to make that shot the degree of disappointment is measured differently by each person. Having the highest of expectations for himself, I imagine the degree of disappointment is magnified. Throwing a club or cursing doesn't bother me. If the media puts the microphone close enough to broadcast the remarks is their fault. I like firey passion in sports it illustrates how much a player cares about their performance. Nothing more and nothing less. It's like hitting your thumb with a hammer while driving a nail. Do you say, "Aw, shucks that hurt"? Probably not.
