‘I’ve been a bad boy,’ Tiger Woods readily and pubicly admits . . . ‘but I don’t want to talk about it!’
OK so he made a mistake — he slipped up — he had an affair or whatever the heck he did — that’s one thing, and NO he doesn’t have to discuss it with every hack reporter who feels he or she is “entitled” because Tiger is a famous sports star.
He does need to square things with the wife and with his sponsors but his real fans don’t need an apology they need to see him tee off. Does Tiger really think that many of his loyal fans really care about his private life? Perhaps some do but those are the ones he doesn’t need — they’re not golf fans, they’re looking for a role model. Tiger Woods didn’t get where he is by being an angel or a role model — he got where he is by being one of the best golfers in the world.
Apparently Tiger either has some physical injury from the car crash . . . or he is being really dumb by skipping the “Chevron World Challenge” (aka: “Tiger’s Tournament”).
ESPN reports that:
“Proceeds from the event (Tiger’s Tournament) go to the Tiger Woods Foundation, which has a learning center in nearby Anaheim that has helped thousands of students. That concept has been a longtime dream of Woods and his late father, Earl, conceived nearly the moment Tiger turned pro in 1996.
But the charity is likely to take a hit this week, as Woods is at home in Florida, nursing the injuries — both literal and figurative — suffered in the one-car crash Friday that has made worldwide headlines.
You’ve probably all heard the joke about Mike the avid golfer:
“Mike was teeing up for a very difficult shot. At that moment a funeral procession went by. Mike stopped, stood still with his hat over his heart, and bowed his head. His golfing partner looked at him and said, “Mike, that was kind and decent of you to show such respect for the dead.
Mike replied, “Yes, we would have been married twenty-six years come tomorrow.”
That, to many sports fans, is more of a fantasy than it is a joke.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackThere are a LOT of perks to being famous. The money, the adoring fans, having anything and everything you want. BUT, there are downfalls to it to and unfortunately those who ARE famous don’t always remember that with the good comes the bad. When you are a public figure you will be under a magnifying glass…and you are paid very well for that “right”. You lose your rights of privacy when you become larger than life and are in the publics face through commercials, sports, publicity events, red carpet events, political events, etc. You can’t take the good and not take the bad too. He’s enjoyed the perks for many years untouched and it caught up with him. I feel no sympathy for him whatsoever. You reap what you sow and apparantly he’s been sowing his wild oats in quite a few fields other than the one that belongs to him!
I don’t for a minute think the wife broke out not one, but TWO passenger windows to “save his life”. Tiger was escaping the wrath of his wife, probably took a good wallop up side the head before he made it to the car (in bare feet) and that would explain his eratic driving. Therefore he and his wife lied to police and took part in a cover up of domestic violence. They are lucky LE has dropped it and not pursued this further.
I say it is time to pay the piper. He’s enjoyed the perks for a very long time and kept his skeletons well hidden….unfortunately the closet is wide open and there appears to be a large quantity of cocktail waitress skeletons in his closet from every major city across America! LOL
Who cares, if the public really cares about an affair this man may have had let them boycott, I for one don’t care. He is a sports figure that has been placed inappropriately on a pedestal-If any American truly believes skill in sports deems one a proper role model, that is sad. As for his wife, if he did what he is accussed of doing, I hope she did what she is speculated as doing! Either way she would be a fool to leave, if he is innocent she would loose alot for nothing, if he is guilty, he is willing to stay in the marriage and that is very profitable for her…….I say she is the better sportsman here, she can take out windows, get a few wacks in and the cops don’t care and he puts money in her bank account and wants to stay in the marriage-Great game Mrs. Woods….of course this is all speculation and opinion! LOL
Toughenough – yes, I’d say Elin, while angry now, will eventually be laughing all the way to the bank. What I don’t get is why Tiger would pay the rumored sum of money to keep his wife….after all I think there are now reportedly 7 women who have stepped forward claiming affairs with him. If he needs to go sow his wild oats, why not cut his losses with the wife and move on? She gets nothing if they divorce now according to the reports on their pre-nup agreement. Instead of moving on it is now reported he has put a hefty sum in her bank account and is renegotiating the pre-nup to pay her TONS more and she only has to stay married to him for 2 more years. Why would he do that? Love? Love wasn’t enough to keep him from bed hopping! LOL Nothing about this whole story makes a great deal of sense other than another super famous married man thinking he can do as he pleases and not get caught (with his pants down!). He may have been a “TIGER” to the ladies but he’s nothing but a “CHEETAH” to his wife! ROFLMAO
