The 20 best golf temper tantrums of all time [USA Today]

[nevets88]

The first one is so good, had to embed it directly. This one of Rose heaving his 3 wood is not from the list.

LOL... The commentator's made Rose's 3-wood reaction that much better... "He's lucky he didn't hit it again..." 

Thank you for posting this!

I'd post one but the board doesn't embed animated gifs

Wow - I had no idea that Stenson had such a temper.  It will be interesting to see if people take issue with that during his upcoming boost of fame.  Personally, I don't care - I think Stenson does it in a pretty cool way for the most part - just a single, deliberate snap of the club - the one of Dubuisson's tantrum was pretty ridiculous, though.  I'd say out of all of them, that's the one that might sour my opinion of a golfer.

He used to. I think he's controlled it quite a bit. One of the reasons why he dropped so much in the world was his temper. But I believe I read that he went to a counselor and is calmed down a lot.

Spencer Levin's crazy Oakmont outburst should be on there.

Some of these are hilarious. Mad at the wind??? hhahaaha

It's always fun to watch tantrums in person. I've seen of few epic ones myself.

I once saw a very good player miss a short putt, take an angry swat at the ball, miss it and connect solidly with his own shin. Man, what a thud that was ! We were walking too, so he had to limp around the last 6 holes. Priceless.

I was surprised that Bubba doesn't know the definition of a burrowing animal.  Or Bubba could have just been hoping for a favorable ruling.  I'm a fan of Bubba.  I'm a fan of almost all pro golfers.

What did Sergio do after he threw one shoe away? Weird.

Couldn't get it to play, don't know what format it's hosted on. The best one I ever saw was some unknown pro who missed a putt, grabbed the putter head in one hand and the bottom of the shaft in the other, and proceeded to repeatedly whack himself in the side of the head with the putter shaft bending it to nearly a 45 degree angle! Mind boggling! The guy had to be a cement head because I'm surprised he didn't draw blood!

Woodie Austin, number 11 in the list

surprised Els smashing the sprinkler at Bay Hill did not make the list.

USA Today's definition of tantrum is a lot different than mine

I think my favorite is the one Tiger hooks into the water at Pebble Beach where you can hear his commentary, followed by the stunned and awkward remarks of commentators who tried to recover. 

 

It's just funny to me with the dead silence while he goes off on his ball.
