Who cares? Those jealous of him? Those who seek to make money sensationalizing his life? Too many people believe because they are fans they have a right to be a part of an athlete's life. His personal life is his, as it should be.
It isn't like he pulled an Orenthal and killed a couple of people. Then is ceases to be a private matter.
Tiger is with nd we need him in these bad economic times." John Daly gets it, why can't everyone else???
This is about reality. He's paid a truckload of money to endorse products to people that like his squeaky boy image with the 2 kids, SUV and blonde wife from Euro-land.
Ya well, times up. The fascade is broken and the parlance that is the false idolhood is crashing down.
The truth, as he said himself on his website is that he is no different than any other human on this planet. He just happens to be good at swinging a stick at a ball and is paid a tonne of money for doing it. The rest of his life he is no different than anyone else and his actions are obviously proving it...I mean come on, what kind of a guy pays for "escort" ladies from New York and then goes on tv and pretends to be one of the dads from Full House?? Dude, you're a dog....just admit it and drop the endorsements from Nike and Oldsmobile and whle you're at it drop your appearance fees and go out there and give the public what they really want....a glimpse at something to make their puny little lives seem better and a moment they can go home and tell their idiotic buddies , "and then when he swung I yelled GET IN THE HOLE so loud that I knew he heard me, i KNOW he heard me...." while the whole time hoping his friends are thinking he is cool because he stood behind a plastic piece of tape and watched a black guy hit a white ball onto some green grass.

Tiger Woods never asked for, nor received special treatment.
He did nothing illegal other than have a one vehicle accident for which he will be fined. Big deal!
When celebrities sign endorsement contracts, they may, or may not, contain certain morality clauses.
It is highly doubtful that any transgressions Tiger may have committed fall outside of the morality areas, if he had clauses in his contract addressing them.
You seem to have a hard on against anyone who is paid large sums of money for their jobs and who don't meet with your ethical approval.
You need to get a grip on reality. There are MANY more important people MUCH more powerful than these celebrities you scorn so much, who are guilty of far greater crimes against mankind and society, yet you don't speak of them.
Bill Clinton was a disgusting human being, yet there are millions of idiots who worship the man.
There are many crooked politicians, power brokers, media moguls, industry leaders, religious leaders, and on and on, who are wrethced individuals, but their actions go unreported. Why aren't you harping on them?
Jealousy? Hipocracy? Lunacy?

Giving rumors attention inflates them with air of possibility. Ignoring them is dismisses them.
He is going to probably have to make a statement sooner or later. The month away will not make the questions any less upon his return.
The post that was quoted here has been removedThe girls all win here, they get to write books now. The biggest winner of them all out of all this may just be Jack Nicklaus, if this sensationalism gets in Woods head and affects his game it may be a lot tougher to focus at those major tournaments now. Geez...howd you like to wake up one morning and know that your wife and kids know that 3 billion other people know youve been cheating on the wife, what a nightmare🙂
