Anyone who has ever watched Golf Channel coverage of the PGA TOUR knows that Kelly Tilghman lives by the slogan "why say in five words what you can say in a dozen?" She's very overdramatic both with her tone and with her vocabulary. Always has been - even back in her GolfCentral days. Given this experience, you have to give her quite a bit of slack about her wretched lynching reference regarding Tig. She surely didn't mean it literally. And even though it took her a couple of days to fess up on the air and reach out to Tig, I cannot believe she was expressing a racist point of view here. Judge this comment against the dozens of dramatic comments she makes on the telecasts each week. This one was bad and a suspension and disciplinary action is warranted, but not to the point of costing her this job.
