    The woman you see in the photo here caddying for Arnold Palmer is 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.

    Which is why women should stay out of sports broadcasting and in the kitchen.

    She should be grabbed by the hair and beaten with a belt.

    I heard that live. I was channel-surfing, hit the golf channel, and she said it before I could change. I was absolutely shocked, was sure her co-anchor would call her on it, but then remembered I was watching the Golf Channel and changed it. She needs to be fired for stupidity.

    I dont think any commentary in any sport suggesting multiple assailants violently swarm, threaten and assault a participant until their possible death is much acceptable.

    If this is not Freudian slip, I don't know what is.

    She got to keep her job? Sounds far worse than "Nappy Headed Hos".

    I see a lot of sexist comments in this thread.

    Are we really better?

    This reminds me of Bernie Ecclestone's gem about Danika Patrick

    She did not make a derogatory comment about Woods. She just used a bad metaphor that brings up memory of a bad part of our history. Imus calling a girls basketball team nappy head hos is a lot worse.
