Looks like the city is going to let Donald Trump build himself a PGA-regulation golf course in the Bronx. Cool, right? Our billionaire mayor loves golf. But, wait, there is a catch. The Parks Department if giving The Donald a 20-year deal to run the course at the $184 Ferry Point complex on the Throggs Neck waterfront...and is charging him nothing for the first four years. To paraphrase Geoffrey Croft of NYC Park Advocates, Trump will be paying less than a hotdog vendor in Manhattan to run a $125-per-weekend-game course (compared to $36-per-game at other city courses). more ›

It is just so gosh darn difficult to find a good golf course in the city these days. Just where are we supposed to go to get our bogey on, anyway? more ›

On a day when President Obama signed the Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal into law, and a deal was finally forged to pass the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, there was perhaps an even more important legal precedence set by the Court of Appeals: you can't sue someone for not yelling "fore" during a game of golf. Long Island neuroradiologist Dr. Azad Anand had sued his former friend, endocrinologist Dr. Anoop Kapoor, for inadvertently blinding him in one eye from a line-drive shot, but the judges ruled that golf is just a dangerous game. The court also recommended getting rid of that varmint poontang smell. more ›

Long Island doctor Azad Anand is suing friend Anoop Kapoor, also a doctor, for forgetting to yell out "Fore!" before taking a swing. The resultant shot slammed into the side of Anand's head, and left him permanently blind in his left eye. The incident happened in 2002, but the case has just reached the top appeals court in Albany. Anand's lawyer Steven Cohn said, "His whole profession as a radiologist was reading film. Losing his eyesight makes that difficult." A mid-level court said Kapoor had no duty to yell "Fore!," and Kapoor claims that Anand had fair warning, though he didn't say what he yelled. "Golf Ball Flying At Your Face"? more ›

Yesterday, Mayor Bloomberg headed from the Big Apple to Martha's Vineyard to play a round of golf with President Obama. According to a White House press pool report, "We are told Bloomberg and Obama talked in the clubhouse for about 15 mins about the economy. They then went to the driving range and are about to begin their round." Then the White House said, "The president and Mayor Bloomberg took the opportunity to discuss plans for short- and long-term economic growth at a pivotal point in our recovery." more ›

We've officially entered the age of stupid fans who get Tasered: Days after a 17-year-old was Tasered after running onto the field at a Phillies game, a drunk and belligerent 36-year-old man watching a Florida golf tournament was Tasered. Travis Parmelee was reportedly yelling at players at the 11th hole of the Players Championship and was belligerent with hole marshals and, later, sheriff's deputies. He was charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest. more ›

Tiger Woods equals blockbuster TV ratings. Well, blockbuster for golf. Apparently over 5 million people watched Thursday's Masters coverage on ESPN, double last year's numbers, and media consultant Bob Gutkowski told the Daily News, "It's like a car crash. People pull over to take a look at the car crash. That's what's going on with the Masters. These are not people who are going to stick to viewing golf, this is a unique situation, and the titillation factor is huge." Like this car crash? Woods, who is 6 behind the leader, was happy with his performance so far, "I didn't have the luxury of playing tournaments coming in here, so I had to be more focused on my practice sessions coming into it and then take more out of them than most people would." more ›

Tiger Woods commented on the Nike ad that features a voiceover from his dead father. Even though the ad takes Earl Woods's words from a 2004 documentary (he's discussing how he has a different approach than wife Kultida), Woods said, "It's what my dad would say. It's amazing how my dad can speak to me in different ways even when he's long gone. Any son who lost a father who meant so much in their life, I think, would understand the spot." more ›

Tiger Woods will be teeing off at the Masters at 1:42 p.m., but it's hard to concentrate on the superstar golfer's actual profession when he's in the news for a new Nike ad featuring a voiceover from his deceased father and more allegations of affairs, namely one with his neighbor's 21-year-old daughter in his office next to a crib. The black-and-white Nike ad focuses on a silent Woods, with the voice of Woods' late father Earl saying, “Tiger, I am more prone to be inquisitive, to promote discussion. I want to find out what your thinking was; I want to find out what your feelings are. And did you learn anything?" more ›

Tiger Woods is in Augusta, Georgia for this weekend's Masters golf tournament, sporting a new "rough-looking" goatee that made him look suspiciously like Evil Cartman. Per the Evil Parallel Universe, Evil Cartman is actually nicer than real Cartman, so maybe this is Woods's attempt to show people he's not a cheating husband who loves sexting his ladies on the side. He did say at a news conference, "All I know is I acted just terribly. I just made some incredibly bad decisions, decisions that hurt so many people close to me." more ›

Now-repentant golfer Tiger Woods held court in two TV appearances last night—one with ESPN and the other with the Golf Channel—and admitted, "I've done some pretty bad things in my life," and that he's "disgusted" with his own behavior, adding, "I tried to stop and I couldn't stop -- It was horrific." (You can say/sext that again!) These were his first interviews since his Bimbogate erupted. more ›

This morning, porn star Joslyn James offered up many of the texts she claims former lover Tiger Woods sent her, because, she says, "It's time to tell the truth about Tiger." Many involve their sexual relationship ("I would like to have a threesome with you and another girl you trust") while some are mundane ("No turkey unless it's a club sandwich"). more ›

Just a month after his public apology to his wife, family, friends and fans, golfer Tiger Woods announced that he would return to play in the Masters next month. He said in a statement, "The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta. The major championships have always been a special focus in my career and, as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be, even though it's been a while since I last played." more ›

While it seemed like golf superstar Tiger Woods included everyone under the sun in his apology yesterday, some notables say they were left out. Like Playboy model and alleged call girl Loredana Jolie Ferriolo, who told the Post, "He didn't mention anything about the girls [he had trysts with]. It seems like he was just brushing it off and not getting into it. I think he should've mentioned something in regards to the girls -- an apology or something." Yeah, that would have gone over well with Elin! more ›

A contrite Tiger Woods addressed the public for the first time today in the wake of his scandal, making many tearful apologies to his family, business partners, employees, and fans, "Everyone has good reason to be critical of me. I want to say to each of you simply and directly I'm deeply sorry for my irresponsible and deeply selfish behavior... I am so sorry... I have let you down... I have a lot to atone for." He angrily denied that wife Elin Nordegren attacked him, saying there was no reason to mention domestic violence, "She has shown enormous grace and poise. She deserves praise not blame," as well as admitted that he had been in rehabilitation and would return to rehab. He also asked that people find in their hearts "to one day believe in me again." Here's video; transcript below: more ›

The announcement that golf superstar Tiger Woods will be speaking publicly for the first time tomorrow since his car accident-turned-extra marital affair-scandal has sent the media into a new frenzy. Woods' agent Mark Steinberg said, "While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between him and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down a lot of other people who were close to him. He also let down his fans. He wants to begin the process of making amends, and that's what he's going to discuss." more ›

It was quite a year for sports in the New York City area. The Yankees won their 27th World Championship, two brand new baseball stadiums opened (a total cost of nearly $2.5 billion), and Martin Brodeur set the record for most wins in NHL history. There were some ugly moments too — Serena Williams' explosion at the US Open, the Mets (again), the Nets, the Giants, and of course that Tiger Woods thing that you can't escape no matter where you live. more ›

Our former cheating mayor had koan for cheating golfer Tiger Woods; "Hang in there." That's what Rudy Giuliani told US Magazine on Tuesday night. Wow, we can just picture a tiger cub on a tree branch. more ›

Jamie Jungers, a Las Vegas cocktail waitress who claims to have had a relationship with Tiger Woods (who hasn't these days?!), tells The Real Deal that she's moving to NYC: "'With all the things that have happened,' plus a desire to pursue her modeling career, she said, 'it's probably in my best interest to move up here.' She said she plans to move to the Big Apple within the next couple of weeks and has not decided whether or not to give up her home in Las Vegas." Jungers, who complained about Tiger being cheap, is looking at a one-bedroom One Irving Place (the Zeckendorf Towers at Union Square), which rents for $3,000/month. more ›

NYC club girl Cori Rist, one of Tiger Woods' many alleged paramours, appeared on the Today Show this morning to say that she feels guilty that she's causing Woods' wife pain, adding, "I hate that I'm a part of it." However, she did go into details about her two-and-a-half-year relationship with the renowned golf player, saying he claimed to be unhappy in his marriage but was just staying because his wife was pregnant! more ›

In a statement posted of his website, Tiger Woods has announced that he is taking an indefinite break from golf, "I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I've done, but I want to do my best to try..." more ›

Another day, another passel of Tiger Woods-related news! The most recent development is that TMZ spotted a van taking boxes from the superstar golfer's Florida home, but it's unclear where the boxes are going, what's in the them, blah blah blah. More intriguing is that Woods' alleged fling Rachel Uchitel (the NYC nightclub hostess) is reportedly in talks with Playboy to pose nude. Extra!'s sources say that Uchitel "wants a lot of money." Of course. Uchitel also received an apology from The View because Joy Behar had joked "You-ca-tell she's a hooker." more ›

According to the issue of People magazine out tomorrow, Elin Nordegren will probably stay married to her apparently straying husband Tiger Woods. A friend says that divorce is "not something she’s likely going to want to do to [her children with Woods] Sam and Charlie. She really believes in the importance of parents staying together." more ›

With NYC club girl Cori Rist named as one of Tiger Woods' (many) flames, the Post reports that Rist's ex-husband "will use the scandal as proof she's unfit to raise their 7-year-old son. Neil Santos added, "She's put me through hell. And she's continuing to put me through hell." more ›

Various sources report that a "middle-aged, blond woman" was taken from Tiger Woods' Florida home "on advanced life support" after a 2:36 a.m. 911 call. (Orange County Fire Rescue officials initially denied there was a call from the golf superstar's home, but later confirmed that someone was brought to the hospital.) TMZ reports, "We... know a younger blond woman followed the ambulance to the hospital. And, as we reported, Elin's mom is in the U.S. to be with her daughter." Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren are allegedly having some marital problems stemming from Woods' dalliances with other women. more ›

Hey, it's a new possible career direction for Ashley Dupre—marriage counselor! The former high-class escort who shot to fame/infamy as former Governor Spitzer's fling "Kristen" weighed in on the Tiger Woods chatty alleged mistresses last week, telling the Post, "At least I kept my mouth shut." Now, she's going to be on Extra! tonight, with some thoughts for Woods' wife Elin Nordegren: "[She should] take some time to herself, digest everything, go to counseling." more ›

It's hard to keep track of how many women are claiming to be part of Tiger Woods' gallery of mistresses, but the Post and Daily News really love that one of the newer entrants is Cori Rist, a NYC clubgoer. It certainly helps that she's posed in a bra before. The Post says Rist "reportedly took up with the golf great after meeting him on the Manhattan club scene," while the Daily News reports, "The 31-year-old leggy and busty blond spent Sunday calling friends, saying, 'My involvement with Tiger Woods has just surfaced,' according to a pal." more ›

With non-stop attention on international athletic superstar Tiger Woods' transgressions, a Pandora's Box opened when he crashed his car near his Florida home, allegedly after fighting with his wife over a mistress, it's no wonder that everyone is trying to find an angle on the story. Today, the NY Times looks at the emergence of "Maybe Journalism"—namely, the CGI "imagining" of Woods' and wife Elin Nordegren's actions before the crashed created by a Hong Kong-based media company. more ›
