Analyzing The "Selfie Lawsuit" Against Tiger Woods

Is Tiger Woods legally responsible for injuries sustained by a fan during a selfie?

Florida resident Brian Borruso contends that Woods and his caddie, Joe LaCava, broke the law at the Valspar Gold Tournament in March 2018. They did so, Borruso insists, by unnecessarily and harmfully shoving Borruso while he innocently attempted a selfie with Woods in the background. The tournament, which offered a $6.5 million purse, was played on the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor. Woods and Patrick Reed were edged out by Paul Casey at the top on the leaderboard.
