Woods' often reacts to a missed shot by throwing his golf accessories around, it has been widely noted.

Published: 30 July 2009

The on-course behaviour of Tiger Woods has come under scrutiny from a number of sports writers.

When disappointed with a shot, Woods can often be seen throwing his golf club to the ground, swearing or shouting.

This behaviour has led a number of golf commentators, including Rick Reilly and Times golf writer John Hopkins, to question when he will begin to behave better on the course.

When Woods dons his golf apparel and takes to the course, there is little doubt about his abilities as a golfer.

However, his "tantrums are becoming a matter for concern", says Mr Hopkins.

Much golf news this week has centred on the way in which Woods reacted to missing shots at the British Open at Turnberry, which was eventually won by Stewart Cink.

Criticism of Woods's behaviour is now "a matter of course", notes Mr Hopkins, who goes on to say that at his last tournament he was "anything but" an example to the young golfers that admire him.
