Tiger Woods might be the worst tipper in the world

While Tiger Woods is the best golfer in the world, Page Six tells us one thing he isn’t great at and that is leaving a gratuity.
“While he may have a golden grip on his golf clubs, he has a pretty firm grasp on his wallet, too. “Whenever Tiger was in Las Vegas, there was a woman who would hang out with his group, sort of as a local guide,” says our source. “They would have a great time but Tiger never tips. Ever. She had to stop going out with him because it would cost her three or four hundred bucks every time they went out, since she had to keep tipping for him. Even though he paid the bill, people knew her, so [to not leave a gratuity] would reflect badly on her.”
I hope this isn’t true. T, don’t you know that restaurant workers mainly get paid off the gratuity. Don’t make me root for “Shovelface Phil” Mickelson.

Stop knocking Mickelson! The man is extremely generous and knows how to tip.

Oh yea, the next club Tiger goes to will be a first. Fluff…go talk to the media.
Complete dog shit. Phil thinks this story sucks.

Woods has absolutely no use for the fans, while Phil, like Arnold Palmer, goes out of his way to be courteous and responsive to fans. I like to watch Woods play golf, but have no respect for his lack of people skills.

Tiger donated millions to The inner city and millions to built the Tiger Wood Center for kids

Quite a few years ago after Tiger won at Firestone by about 12 (the last hole he birdied in the dark), I was sitting in Starbucks in Canton, OH when Tiger walked in and waited in line for a tea. He paid his $1.87 with a $100 bill and left 13 cents in the jar for a tip. Talk about lousy PR, everyone was shocked that he could be so cheap!

you all crack me up… everyone is getting on this mas case for his tipping practices. People, tipping is a GRATUITY not a mandatory thing. I myself am a middle class worker that tips well when I get good service. The problem out there with most employees, and I say most, is that their work ethic sucks, but yet they think that just because a customer is in their station, they deserve this massive tip. Word to the wise… you want a good tip, work for it. No i mean really work for it…

I am in Poker Dealer school in Vegas right now and one of our instructors said he is a tightwad and does not tip at the tables when he is gambling. The guy is almost a billionaire for gods sake. I hope he gets @ss cancer.

My Brother works as a Limo Driver in Hawaii. Mickelson and woods both got off their planes at the same time. Mickelson was handing out $100 bills to everyone, Woods ignored everyone and went striaght to his limo. My brother was unlucky enough to have to drive Woods. Needless to say by brother never got a penny from woods. He also got stuck driving Woods back to the airport…with the same results.

I’m also limo driver, drove mr woods few times. He never ever tips including servers! Keep in mind the big tippers are usually the hard workers. This guy plays golf for a living!
