Tiger Woods Kicks Club During 2012 Masters Meltdown On 16th Hole (VIDEO)

Tiger Woods kicks his club in frustration during the Masters at Augusta National.

Tiger Woods entered the 2012 Masters as the favorite to win the tournament. During a press conference on Wednesday at Augusta National, a confident Woods even told the media that he was "here for the green jacket."

Coming off his first PGA Tour win in 30 months, Woods was back. For real, this time. Right guys?

Maybe not.

On Friday afternoon, Woods had people wondering if he would even make the cut after a handful of misplayed shots and a tantrum at the 16th hole.

After scrapping his way to even par on Day 1 at Augusta, Woods had a nightmarish second round. Despite notching birdies on two of the first three holes on Friday, Woods finished the day with a 3-over 75. The four-time Masters champion let his emotions get the best of him after sending his tee shot into a bunker on the right side of the green on the 16th hole, dropping his club and then kicking it in disgust. Tiger would eventually bogey the hole.

Woods' frustrations had been mounting as he struggled through the back nine. After striking a solid tee shot on 15, he sent his next effort well right into the crowd. Angry with his performance and foreshadowing the tantrum to come, Woods had a profane outburst picked up by the television broadcast.

In case you were wondering, the fan struck by Tiger's wayward shot seemed just fine. In fact, it appears that high fives were exchanged, so "fine" may be an understatement.

Despite his struggles controlling his ball and his emotions, Woods did make the cut and has two rounds to make up the eight shots separating him from the leaders.

Grow up Tiger, the world of golf does not revolve around you, and the sooner you realize this the better off you will be and parents will be able to let cildren watch golf again without fear of a foul mouth punk throwing or kick his clubs. Jack's record in majors might fall but you will never surpass him in the class department. GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!

Only in golf does swearing and mild violence against a single inanimate object constitute a "meltdown." That's normal play during the average basketball or football game.

If you can't play the Tiger video, take it off the site and stop tricking people into coming here. Cheap SEO stunt.

I feel abused and molested as well as deceived, bewitched, bothered and--yes--bewildered.

He does'nt intimidate other golfers any more like he has since his cocky college days
and thats whats getting to him .that was always his extra club now he doesnt have it .
He will still win his share but he needs to show a little class by behaving badly so he can attain
some media attention .is repulsive

I find it disappointing and hopefully neither of his children were watching him act like he were the child rather than them.

Tiger needs to grow up. He makes himself look so bad. I am always on his side but he is losing me.

Tiger is still one of the best players around. I do pray that he will find the peace he needs to get "it" back together and live well from the inside out, knowing that fame and money are some things but not everything.
