Just as the firestorm over Kelly Tilghman's comments was heating up, the Golf Channel sought to cool things down by suspending her for two weeks.

Tilghman was talking with analyst Nick Faldo this past Friday about young players who could challenge Tiger Woods. Faldo suggested "to take Tiger on, maybe they should just gang up for a while." Tilghman interjected that maybe they should "lynch him in a back alley."

In a statement, the Golf Channel said: "While we believe that Kelly's choice of words was inadvertent and that she did not intend them in an offensive manner, the words were hurtful and grossly inappropriate."

Tilghman says she called Tiger Woods to apologize and she made another apology on the air a couple of days later. As of the writing of this blog, Woods hasn’t commented about Ms. Tilghman’s comments, but his agent Mark Steinberg says he considers the matter closed. He said in a statement "Tiger and Kelly are friends, and Tiger has a great deal of respect for Kelly. Regardless of the choice of words used, we know unequivocally that there was no ill-intent in her comments."

That may very well be the case, but now that she has lost some air time, I’m sure she’ll choose her words more wisely next time.
