Tiger Woods' Quail Hollow Goatee: Handsome Or Hideous? (PICTURES)

Tiger Woods is playing his first public tournament since his dramatic sex scandal unfolded over several months starting last November. The competition begins Thursday, but Woods got in a practice round today. The AP reports that Tiger "received warm applause when he was introduced on the first tee," and the golfer also fit a 16-minute press conference into the day.

Woods had a small surprise for viewers when he appeared before cameras sporting a goatee. Of course, he also flashed some facial hair during his Masters practice round, but it disappeared by the time the tournament began.

Scroll down to see pictures. What do you think of the look?

Ohh, he's getting all dark and edgy now. I wonder if this will help him with the next 121 women.

Tiger has had a goatee before. Why if this article here?? What are you trying to say about men with goatee's? I have one, am bald and I ride and motorcycle. Is there something wrong with me?

This is one of those "Time for you to get a life and leave this man alone"........... Just leave him to do as he will, and has, always done!

with or without a goatee he's UGLY UGLY UGLY as hell. No charisma, no personality and especially no morals make him even more UGLY.
He's not handsome and he will never be. The only thing going for him is HIS MONEY.
I don't care if he's great af golf. The man sucks BIG TIME

I know you do not care about golf, but you must retract your statement, "The only thing good going for him is his money." I assume another thing good going for him is being the best golfer to ever live.

Tiger often sports goatees between tournaments and then shaves for the actual days of the tournament. He had a similar goatee pre-Masters.

I mean with the company he keeps do you really think he needs a flavor saver?

With the latest news of Elin possibly getting upwards to $500 Mil in a divorce settlement, maybe, he can't afford a razor. Which, at $500 Mil, comes out to approximately $35 Mil per babe he bonked. Sounds 'bout right. And, all those who believed that she'd get just what was in the pre nup. Yeah, sure. You, go girl.

I feel bad whenever I see Tiger in the news. How have the mighty fallen?

It's his 'NBA' look, the look that says, as he's making eye contact with a young vixen, 'Yo, holla at me when you're in town!'

Is humping a sport?

it is not a sport, and it can't get you a badge.
