Woods readied his next shot before Garcia was finished, and when the crowd saw him take out his club, they erupted into cheers, which interfered with his own shot.

“You have to pay attention to what’s going on because the other guy is hitting. You do something when you’re in the crowd and the crowd is going to respond,” an irritated Garcia said.

Woods defended his actions by saying he’d been given the go-ahead: “The marshals, they told me he already hit, so I pulled a club and was getting ready to play my shot, and then I hear his comments afterward and it’s not real surprising that he’s complaining about something,” he said.

But marshall Gary Anderson says that never happened.

“He didn’t ask us nothing, and we didn’t say nothing. We’re told not to talk to the players,” Anderson said.

While it’s no secret that Woods and Garcia don’t like each other, this little tiff involves other people who never asked to be, and this is just another hit to Woods’ already questionable character.

“Nothing was said to us and we certainly said nothing to him,” chief marshall John North said. “I was disappointed to hear him make those remarks. We’re there to help the players and enhance the experience of the fans. He was saying what was good for him. It lacked character.”

Of course, the two made it official in March when they posted photos of themselves on Facebook to tell the world that they are, in fact, dating. But seeing them out together is a whole different media ballgame.

Woods released a statement about the pairing on the social media site, saying, “This season has been great so far and I’m happy with my wins at Torrey and Doral. Something nice that’s happened off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn,” the star athlete captioned the album—which features four perfectly posed pics of the happy couple—on his social media page. “Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating. We thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy. We want to continue our relationship, privately, as an ordinary couple and continue to compete as athletes.”

The couple glowed on the red carpet last night, with Vonn wearing a cream-colored floor-length gown with sheer panels and Woods going for the traditional black-tie look.

Now, Australian golfer Adam Scott is learning that lesson.

Scott won the 2013 Masters Tournament this week in an exciting sudden-death playoff with Argentine golfer Ángel Cabrera. As part of his victory media tour, the first Australian to win the Masters sat down on CBS this Morning to discuss the win.

Though the conversation started out about golf, host Gayle King soon shifted the topic to Scott’s good looks, saying, “You are very hot Adam Scott.” The golfer blushed as King went on to ask him about his “availability.”

An embarrassed Scott revealed on the program that he is “not single at all.” He stated that he is “very much in a relationship and very happy at the moment,” with a girl named Marie.

Vonn, who is currently dating golf star Tiger Woods, showed up at The Masters Tournament on Thursday to show support. According to a report from the New York Times, the blonde ski pro was wearing a dress that was long enough to cover the leg brace she currently has on her right leg. Vonn told the publication that she would see Woods play the first hole and watch the rest of the tournament from the clubhouse.

Vonn and Woods officially announced that they were dating back in March, though rumors of their relationship go back as far as January. It was later revealed that Kim Kardashian ex Kris Humphries was also courting the skiing star.

Vonn’s rehab is the result of a horrific crash she endured at a competition in Austria in February. She later had surgery performed on her right knee. Vonn has set a goal of competing in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, and is now chronicling her recovery on social media.

Masters champ Bubba Watson has a hovercraft golf cart.

It’s called “Bubba’s Hover,” and it’s a project between Bubba and Oakley – based on a design from Neoteric Hovercraft.

I love playing golf, but if I had this thing there’s simply no way that I would ever get out of it to hit a shot. Come at me, gators.

So, when something as grisly as a shooting intrudes on such a leisurely activity, it makes the news.

The Associated Press is reporting that golfers at the Hilaman Golf Course in Tallahassee, Florida heard gunshots on Tuesday afternoon, around 5 pm. The golfers (bravely, I suppose) went to check out the source of the shots and found the bodies of two women.

According to a Leon County Sheriff spokesperson, the bodies were found in an area between the golf course and a nearby apartment complex. The names, ages, or descriptions of the victims have not been released, and law enforcement has begun canvassing the area for possible witnesses.

“Every month the PGA Golf Management program at Campbell University has a competition between the different classes. The January competition was to see how many people could line up and make a putt at the same time. The winners this month was the Senior Class with nine people.”

DAMNIT! IS THAT CUP REGULATION SIZE OR WHAT?

Some NFL fans see a familiar pattern.

“So apparently, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are golf’s regular season, and Sunday is its playoffs,” writes Darin Gantt at NBC’s ProFootballTalk.

Romo’s taking a lot more abuse than that on Twitter.

That’s a small sampling. Unfortunately for poor Tony, we’re not seeing many stick up for his football abilities in the current Twitter conversation. Twitter can be so cruel.

Both Nike and McIlroy announced the new on Twitter this afternoon:

“It’s a company and a brand that really resonates with me,” said McIlroy at a press event. “It’s young. It’s athletic. It’s innovative. They are committed to being the best, as am I.”

McIlroy will waste no time in advertising for Nike. He’ll use Nike-branded balls and clubs, as well as wear Nike apparel at his season debut this week at the European PGA’s HSBC Champions event in Abu Dhabi.

So, where does that leave Tiger Woods, Nike’s other super high-profile golf asset? He’ll be fine, as you can see in this new ad starring both him and McIlroy. Two guys, several cups.

Now the company is on the show floor showing off its latest innovations in 3D printing including a full-size golf club printed on the new Objet1000.

First up is a radial engine that was created in a single print job. It’s impressive because it features moving parts that didn’t have to be assembled outside of the printer. It also has a level of polish that you don’t see in many 3D printed models.

Much like its previous ship in a bottle print job, the guys at Objet have also made a black motorcycle encased in transparent plastic. It shows off the Objet Connex printer’s ability to create multi-material objects in a single print job.

Finally, we have a full-sized golf club that was printed on the Objet1000. The Objet1000 is a Connex machine so it can print in multiple materials in the same print job. It lets the designers use a rubbery material for the grip, a white material for the shaft, and a light gray material for the clubhead.
