Nobody talks smack about LeBron James more on television than Undisputed’s Skip Bayless. However, back when he still shared the show with Stephen A. Smith at ESPN, the infamous sports columnist once had some harsh words to say about the golf legend, Tiger Woods.
Skip Bayless can’t stop himself from sharing his ill comments for LeBron James on a weekly basis. The 70-year-old even shares his mean comments on Twitter, for which he receives a lot of backlash.
Bayless once voiced his criticism towards Tiger Woods which may have not been appreciated by fans. Today we look back at the clip following the 2014 Open Championship.
What did Bayless say about Tiger Woods?
Tiger Woods’ career in the last decade has been a roller coaster of emotions. At times, there was joy, but most of the time his personal life tragedies were affecting his game on the golf course. During the 2014 Open Championship, Woods had a similar experience.
The then 38-year-old had a great first round, finishing with 69 shots under 3 par. However, things changed as he finished the tournament placed at 69th rank.

Skip Bayless shared no sympathy for golfer as he went rampant with some merciless words. Bayless said, “Dominating every event because he hit it so much farther than anybody else. Do you remember this 97, 98, 99? He can’t drive the golf ball anymore.”
Bayless went further to say that Woods would never win a Major again. But he did give the only option, through which Woods could win a Major again. Skip Bayless said, “There’s only one way that Tiger Woods to me is ever going to win another Major Championship, and that is if he eats lots of crows, swallows all of his pride and basically gets on his hands and knees and begs Butch Harmon to coach him again.”
Butch Harmon was a major factor in the 46-year-old achievements in the early phase of his professional career. However, Woods decided to part ways with his coach back in 2004 after personal differences.
Bayless claimed that Harmon’s exit from Woods career was a crucial point and that Woods’s golf swing was never the same ágain. However, Woods went on to win 7 more majors without the supervision of Harmon.
Moreover, five years after Skip Bayless’ comments, Tiger managed to win his 15th Major title at the 2019 Masters, for which even Bayless had to give his props to the Golf legend by congratulating him for his win.
