Tiger Hunted in Manhattan

A wild autograph seeker was on the hunt for Tiger Woods last night in NYC.


TMZ was outside of Butter, where Tiger and his super-hot wife made a police-escorted dash to their SUV. The ink seeker yelled, "Tiger, you can't sign? Help out the brother man," as Woods ran right past him.

The autograph hound then followed the SUV about 40 blocks to Trump World Tower and again started screaming for Tiger to sign. Tiger finally ditched him.

46. How can you blame Tiger for avoiding this person wanting his autograph, chasing his car down the street? You just don't know these days if this person is a true fan and or a nut like Mark Chapman (John Lennon's Killer).

47. I have personally met Tiger and he is a great person. I go and see him play every year in Norton where I'm from and I got to meet him a few years ago. I went to the tournament and he was just hanging out with his caddy. I went up to him,he signed this book I had on him (that came out 10 years ago) and he gladly signed it. He was the nicest guy. If you respect him and his privacy then you get more out of him than if you chase him around like he's some piece of meat. That guy had thug written all over him,and anyone who chases a man to the place he's staying doesn't even deserve to even get a look from Tiger.

48. Tiger did the right thing. Does anyone remember how John Lennon died?. It's better to be safe than sorry. How did this guy get away with following him for 40 blocks?.

49. I know Tiger, through a golf pro friend. He's hounded day and night by people who want a piece of him. These professional autograph hounds sell his signature or try to get favors or money out of him. They're not fans. I've seen them in action going after my friend, who's in the top 20 on the PGA tour.

Tiger signs autographs at the appropriate place.. somewhere where there's security and crowd control. He can't sign elsewhere without being hounded and put into jeopardy by clamoring crowds of autograph seekers. I've watched this happen in the past. But now, he's married and trying to keep his wife safe too!

Tiger lives a very low key life when he's not working, but he's been a celebrity since he was two years old, and learned lessons about what he can do and what he shouldn't.

50. Tiger is such a good family man--he just had a baby for crying out loud! He probaly feels that he has to be very protective of his wife right now as she is healing from childbirth. If she had not been there, he would have signed it, brother man.

51. OK Well, now we find out the guy is a paparazzi who is suing LiLo for running over his foot or some such crap, no doubt his foot was under the wheel because he was hanging on her car trying to harass her too. So, good for tiger for not giving the guy the time of day.

53. the bodyguard could have taken the piece of paper back to tiger so he can sign it

if he was too afraid to come close to the guy ; and the annoying scrub would have been

off his merry way.

54. One rabid fan does not make a celebrity rich! And this one will still be back after getting one autograph. I agree with one person here who pretty much said 'respect beget respect' and this aggresive guy would shove kids out of the way for the autograph. I prefer to treat Tiger with the respect that he deserves, that we all deserve.

55. First of all the man trying to get Tigers Autograph is not just another person, he is a very persistent paparazzi jerk. If you were a popular person, as Tiger is, you wouldn’t want to sign autographs at any given time. There is a time and place for this. The man in the video keeps saying hook up a brother. Obviously he doesn’t know Tiger very well. Tiger has done more for the community then anyone can imagine. There is no reason to dog the man because he didn’t give one jerk an autograph in the middle of the night, trying to get to his hotel. Stop being haters and get a life!

56. I can't believe some of you who are getting on Tigers case for not signing. As you can tell from the video this guy is not a fan but a papperazzi. Didn't you notice the camera crew was with this guy who was clearly provoking tiger to get a reaction from him. This is the same guy who claims the Lindsey ran over his foot. These people need to get a life and a real job and stop harrassing celelebs.
