Tiger stops traffic on a bridge... literally!

the European Tour heads over to Turkey for the Turkish Airlines Open, the third event in the Final Series in the Race to Dubai... ahead of the tournament though, Tiger participated in a pretty outrageous publicity event.

he hit a golf ball along the Bosphorus Bridge, which actually connects the continents of Europe and Asia! pretty cool event, but notice that the right side of the bridge still has moving traffic!!! the event took about an hour and took place during a pretty busy afternoon leading up to rush hour. tiger is rumoured to be paid about $2.4 million to play in the tournament and take part in all these events leading up to it

Wow. is that really necessary? from the photos, it seem like that crowd that was present is kind of sparse. and actually i have a bigger question, where are the balls expected to land huh? on the road?? gonna bounce pretty far correct??

So stupid. Tiger should considering acting, shot to nowwhere, but he can really pretend, took aim first then hit the shot.........

But he does not have the glamorous look of an Actor ... David Beckham has the looks but not the voice ...

Why is everyone giving him a hard time. I am sure that it was not his idea and the organizers had everything planned including the safety aspect.

As a professional athlete there a lot of promotional events that one has to attend, it's even in the contract. No all will be to his liking but that's the way the ball rolls. Please pardon my pun.

hahaha....i will do the same like tiger if i am paid 2.4million to play......but am still dreaming of the day that I can get paid to play golf.....

That is why he is one of the richest sportmen in the world ...

next year can consider putting or chipping across the bridge

maybe can give him 15mins to read the line before he putts

Turkish organizers said Tiger's driving feat on the bridge that overlooking Asia worth every penny ...
