Talking Tiger at golf.com.

Lipsey: Will fans taunt Tiger at Torrey Pines? Or is it totally civil, hushed for Tiger, with every fan thinking about the scandal but saying nothing? Do reporters grill him, or as usual let him off the hook at press conferences?

Friedman: Again, it depends on what transpires in the weeks before he tees off. How much does he take off the table? If nothing is addressed, then there will be large elements of the crowds that will be mercilessly vocal.

Morfit: There will be a lot of fans yelling out what they think are funny comments that will become totally predictable and almost as lame as "You da man!"

Lipsey: Does Steve Williams still have God-blessed authority to rip such fans to pieces?

Evans: My guess is that no one picks on Tiger. He's already had the worst perp walk imaginable: The first time he had to go into the kitchen and tell Elin that she was about to hear some ugly things about her husband.

Friedman: Farrell, that is naive beyond belief! Just go to any game in any sport these days. There will be folks who will be absolutely brutal.

Morfit: Farrell, you badly underestimate the yahoo factor at PGA Tour events.

Dusek: I'm wondering if they will bring signs or t-shirts instead of just calling out to him as he walks down the fairway. After a few beers in the hospitality tent, some fans will let Tiger know he's a punchline.

Evans: I think if people are brutal to Tiger Woods, it hurts the tournament, the sponsors and the players. It won't happen at Augusta, it won't happen at Arnie's place or Jack's place. It won't happen at the Players. Maybe it happens in Milwaukee or Phoenix, where he doesn't play.

Dusek: It will happen at Torrey Pines, Pebble Beach or the Match Play.

Morfit: Augusta is the only place I can think of where snide remarks might not happen — as much.

Anne Szeker, producer, Golf.com: It's a shame the U.S. Open isn't at Bethpage this year. That would have been an interesting crowd encounter.

Dusek: I'll be curious to see what happens at Celtic Manor in the Ryder Cup. Will the lads in Wales have a little fun with Tiger?
