Tiger Woods' public image has taken some serious hits in recent years.

The former Golden Boy of the PGA Tour is still a major media draw, but his game on the course has suffered along with public perception of his life off of it - when you watch Tiger play these days, you can almost see the strain of being simultaneously the most famous and most reviled golfer in the world written on his face.

A recent revelation from the Federal Communications Commission will likely only serve to push Woods' standing with the average golf fan even farther in a negative direction.

According to BBC Sport, while the 14-time major champion may not be topping leader boards with his play of late, he's coming out on top in at least one category - FCC complaints.

"Federal Communications Commission figures show that American broadcasters have received 22 complaints since 2011 for imaginative language from golfers.

"Outbursts from Woods resulted in 15 of those complaints - including one angry viewer saying: 'I should not be subjected to this in my own home.'"

As BBC notes, Woods, whose worldwide ranking recently reached a career-low of 140, does tend to get more air-time than just about any other golfer - through Rory McIlroy seems to be gaining ground in that area - so his outbursts are more likely to be caught on camera.

Still, Woods has long been known to push the envelope of acceptable course behavior.

He's a club tosser, a curser and just an all-around frustrated guy these days.

Whether emotion should be acceptable in golf has long been a topic for discussion. Woods certainly isn't the first player to curse on the course and he won't be the last, but his high profile brings his angst and anger into focus like no other player on the Tour.

As another viewer put it though, Woods' personal problems are no excuse for his perceived lack of decorum during play.

"When watching a sports program we should be free from vile, insulting assaults."
