I am an avid golfer and know a little of this story. She said something to the affect that the only way these other guys on the tour could win is if they were to take Tiger Woods in a back alley and lynch him. I believe it was meant more along the lines of a testament to Tigers domination of golf. Terribly worded though. But she apologized and Tiger accepted. It should have been over then, but I believe the sharks that make their living off this stuff(Sharpton and/or Jackson) have stuck their noses into this which is of course going to make everything worse.
