Tiger Woods’s frustration at the lamentable state of his game boiled over on Saturday when he launched a foul-mouthed volley at a television cameraman.

The American had missed yet another fairway at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and the cameraman was busy trying to keep up as Woods made his way fuming into the undergrowth.

Realising he was being closely pursued, Woods – seemingly oblivious to the fact his large gallery was full of young kids - turned round and said, loudly: ’Guys, give me a little f***ing space.’

The cursing was picked up by Sky television, who issued an apology to any viewers who were offended. 

This was the week where Woods, an eight-time winner at Firestone, was hoping to revive his career and make a case for a Ryder Cup place following four months out after back surgery.

Instead he’s hopelessly adrift at tied 36th after a poor third round of 72.

Woods is now nine rounds into his comeback, but only two have been under par. At least he was more sociable afterwards.

Asked which holes he was most pleased about for his first three rounds, he smiled and responded: ’The 19th.’
