Chyron of the Day: Bad Golf News Puns Begin In Tiger Woods Story

» comments

Fox News, 12:14pmET:

chyron_11-28

It took about 12 hours for the initial reports of the serious nature of Tiger Woods‘ car crash to turn into more questions than answers. It took another 12 before news anchors began making bad golf puns – as is par for the course.

From a search of the cable news networks on TVEyes.com, this chyron at 12:14pmET on Fox News appears to be the first golf pun chyron – now that we know, at the very least, Woods is not seriously hurt.

Some early news puns from Brian Wilson of Fox News: “”whether Tiger’s image could hit a sand trap” and “turn out to be a big bogey on Tiger’s image.” Drop any more you hear today in the comments…there will be many more.

And thanks to @MorettiPHD for the “par for the course pun” and to @winston_wolfe for suggesting Woods “should’ve used a driver.” True.
