That has been a strangely evolving story this weekend, hasn't it?

I'm glad he's not seriously hurt, as was originally reported. Even minor injuries can spell trouble for an athlete, and I think the troubles with wimmen may mean he's gonna need the money.

Tiz

Could be Tiger isn't a slut, but is married to a jealous, insecure, mean woman. Maybe he's been living with domestic violence all along. Taking a golf club to your husband is pretty off the wall, no matter what the provocation, don't you think?

He did make a statement. He manned-up & admitted to being human (except on the golf course) & making mistakes, etc. I just don't buy the part of his wife busting the window & dragging him out of the car. I just hope it wasn't one of his favorite clubs!:p

Tiz
11-29-2009, 07:49 PM
Well, shoot. The generic "mistakes" explanation. That only means one thing to me. I'm disappointed, and can't believe he repeated the golf club rescue tale to boot.

Tiz
11-29-2009, 07:52 PM
Here's the statement.

As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore.
This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.
This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.
The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.
This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some

Good luck on the privacy part, Tiger.

I dislike ole horn dogs, if that's what happened, but I dislike rumor-mongers just as much. Regardless of what happened, if a married couple needs privacy to either work things out or just to avoid wagging tongues that stir emotions, I hope they get it.

Not much about any of the reports make much sense, and there's been some contradictions already. It's entirely possible that the truth isn't even close to what's been "reported".

Tiz
11-30-2009, 04:39 AM
You get my vote, r. The story, so far, clearly doesn't line up, butTiger being a celebrity will insure that the press doesn't lose interest until it's all sifted out.

I think they should just leave the guy alone. He is a human being in a friggen accident. I dont wanna know his life details. Hes a golfer, not someone running for president. The media is gonna turn stuff around no matter what he says, and even if it is him quoted, maybe he IS lieing, and for a very good reason. Its not our business.

Did I tell you about my sons father? Lets see if the media jumps on that story with me being no body.
They would tear him up, bring him down and bury him if I was some one. Media, pfft.

There's been an awful lot of tabloid-level trash that has become mainstreamed as "news". It's just gossip. That's it. Sure... maybe they're having some problems in their marriage. Or maybe they got in an argument about what color the upholstery should be in the new Gulfstream. Or maybe Tiger dropped his granola bar and accidentally goosed the throttle when he bent down for it. Or maybe he's just a lousy driver, since he rarely drives himself anyway. I don't know. But I am coming around to the opinion that it's all pretty much nunna my bidness, and maybe that's just OK.

Yep, everyone is coming out of the woodwork now. 3 ladies? Who else? While I do feel sorry for having his private business being made public. If you are a public figure, you should have figured out real quick to keep yourself in a straight line or everyone is going to know about it. It comes with the territory.

His brain should have said no anyway... even if the rest of him said yes. I do feel a little bad for him... he's right. For the rest of us, personal sin doesn't demand a press release.

Wow, I went from thinking his wife was abusive to wanting to get my boots on and help her the instant I heard that voice mail. I realize it's a personal matter but people are going to talk. If he wanted to keep himself out of the spotlight in this way he should have honored his wedding vows. He's a celebrity for goodness sakes. That makes it a lot harder to cheat. . . He and his wife were married the same month my husband and I were. After cleavage gate this week (just at my house, not an international news event) I really feel for her because it looks like he might have actually done something he shouldn't have and the world knows it.

We’re sure the folks at Golf Digest thought they had a great cover when they put together the January, 2010 issue.

After all getting the President and Tiger on the same cover of a golfing magazine is like a hole in one.

But that was before the Tiger cheating scandals exploded nationally.

Now the headline “10 Tips Obama Can Take From Tiger” is probably making editors at the mag cringe.

Boy isn't that the truth. Philandering is so unfortunate wherever it occurs because it's incredibly destructive. But I can't ever seem to understand how any celebrity ever thinks he'll get away with it.

That poor woman to have to discover this and then hear stuff like that voicemail message. And it would be nearly impossible for her to stay away from the Internet. I'm sure that as badly as she is hurting that she wants to know the details.

At least if they can't patch it up and she leaves him, she'll be set for life. She'd get hundreds of millions of dollars. Most women who suffer in these situations are left penniless with children to try to raise and child support to try to get.

Yes, if a celebrity cheats, everyone does find out sooner or later it seems. Shame on him and I do feel sorry for his wife. To find out about what your husband has been up to is bad enough, but to find out by hearing it on the nightly news and on the internet is just so unfortunate.

Huh????? You're kidding right ???? You've never been to divorce court anytime in the last 20 years or so??? Women do quite well, even when there is no infidelity. The courts do a pretty good job of raking men over the coals....and most states do pretty well in garnishing wages. Sure, there are occasional slips, but it is not like it was in the 50's.

Yeah, I've lost any and all respect for Tiger Woods.....just another loser athlete in my opinion, giving kids these days more bad images of athletes who think they are above it all. It's too bad.

It has taken me 12 years to pay of the debt I incurred in my last divorce. The judge made me vacate the marital residence, yet continue to pay the rent, utilities, and pay child support AND spousal support, her car payments...along with me having to also pay for my own residence. My pay was garnished beginning that same month....and even AFTER the order to cut it off was issued, the state of Ohio did not stop it for another 4 months....and on top of it all, I had to pay HER lawyer...so, don't hand me any sob stories.....:p Maybe some women don't fare too well, but I'm guessing their spouse was already broke or close to it. those of us who weren't payed dearly.

I think you're right. I know a lot of divorced guys who are paying half the living expenses (in the name of the child of course) for women who are already setting up housekeeping with the next guy... Who is probably sending half of his money out the door for his past marriage. It's a big ole round robin.

It's a mess, when there's kids.... nobody gets off ~easy~ except maybe those who had nothing to begin with and never will.

Bottom line? Tiger Woods is and has always been a human like the rest of us. He made stupid mistakes, cheated, did unforgiveable things and lost a lot of respect from his fans.

I always tell my man if he thinks of cheating think of John Wayne Bobbitt.

I do think what is going on isn't our business and I really don't know all that happened since I don't listen to it or do my best not to but he got off easy if it was just a golf club. It's not just him it's anyone but when they do things like this why do they e-mail and text, they have to know it's going to get out eventually! His wife is beautiful but I guess that doesn't matter since some of the most beautiful women in the world have been cheated on. I look like a bag lady and still have my man.

I never say never but I think my man would leave me for a car before he left me for another woman. I'll say that and he'll come home tonight and tell me he has a girlfriend! I doubt it though since we're mostly together, especially since he's retired! I don't know who he'd meet except for the mail lady and she was one of his students and has 2 little kids.

Oh well, I always feel bad no matter if they are famous or not famous. My cousin is going through a divorce now and it's her little girl who is suffering. It's very sad.

I'm going to be the freak here, as always :) I would have an easier time forgiving 10 than one especially if the one was an actual relationship he had developed. Not that I would ever forget but if I really loved him (lifestyle) I could over look it (for the money) & I'd keep him around.
But if with enough money from a divorce settlement to live the way I want (without putting up with his dog boy ways) he would be gone. I would let my lawyer decide which would make the most business sense. Cold & calculating? You bet.

12-11-2009, 08:17 PM
I haven't posted a lot on Tiger. To be honest it's not high on my radar. I don't really care. But as a cultural event it's hard to ignore for long. Here's something I posted on another forum. I'll post it here to see if anyone finds it interesting:

I’ve been letting much of the Tiger stuff slide by without too much attention. But here’s what I think about all this... after some consideration:

More than anything, the Tiger situation just makes me sad. Sad to find out that a supposedly classy guy has been anything but... Sad to think of what a jerk it takes to cheat on his beautiful wife, home with his kid. Sad to see a guy that is up there with the greatest golfers of all time have it all start to dissolve. He had it all... and now it’s crumbling away. That’s a sad thing. It’s sad for him, sad for her, sad for the kid, and sad for all the fans that looked up to him. Why can’t just ONE of our cultural icons actually live up to the myth created around him? Not even one? Dang... and Tiger had a better running start at living up to the dream than most.

But all that said: It may actually be that He and Elin work out some way for him to fix this. If so, she’s already way more forgiving than he has any claim to. But if she does... and more importantly: if Tiger’s chain has been jerked far enough that he now sees who he is with true perspective... that some ghost of his father is speaking to him now saying “you’ve got ONE chance to be a real man again”... and maybe he really gets it. Maybe he gets right in the head, realizes that he has been stupid and foolish and needs to be a real man from here on out.

I don’t know what’s going on between him and Elin. I don’t believe ANYTHING I’m reading on this, since everything is running at the tabloid-level. We’ll see. Either way he’ll either get what he earns or get what he deserves.

Tiger must not have been too happy to go and do that with so many women.

Tiz
12-12-2009, 12:45 PM
Wow, that's an interesting, yet antique, take on the subject of cheating, Cheval. The woman is wrong. She's not making her man happy. Yeah, that's what makes a good man act like a scumdog.


I agree with you, R. Just disappointment here that he wasn't what I thought he was. I hope his Dad is speaking to him, as you suggested, and wasn't the role model for this behavior. That would stink some more.

I think it's more likely his life as a superstar has skewed his self image to the point he believes his own press, and he's simply taking advantage of what he thinks is his other worldly status.


I hope he's now jolted back to reality, and their lives work out in a satisfactory way for both he, and his wife.

"I loved my wife & was happy. Then I saw this readily available hottie & realized I wasn't so happy after all......So I banged her."

I think Tiger was quite happy to do what he did & I doubt he thought of his wife at all while he was doing it.
If I acted on every impulse I get I would seldom be upright.

I have to agree with Natisha. He wasn't thinking about his wife, family, or anything else. Just did the hottie now he has to pay the piper.

I also wish the media would just drop the subject. there are young men and women being blown to bits in the big desert and our news media spends hours covering garbage stories like this one.

I agree with Cheval.... if you're happy with your marriage, you wouldn't even think about cheating....

More companies are dropping Tiger like a hot potato now....

I'm not sure that affairs happen necessarily because there is anything wrong with the relationship. It could be, of course, but I think there are lots of reasons that things can happen. It certainly doesn't have to mean that he doesn't love his wife enough, or that there is something missing that ought to have been there. In a way the affair will always be about something different, something forbidden and dangerous... some drama and intrigue. No healthy relationship can or would or should provide those kinds of things.

It's like saying that if you really loved cake, really truly loved cake, you'd never be tempted by pie. And somehow it means that you don't love cake anymore. Yes, I know that's a clumsy metaphor, but it does get at something important. The attraction to one doesn't say anything at all about the relationship with the other.

A pschologist on some news show made what I thought was an interesting observation. Tiger's life is absolutely perfect. He's married to one of the most beautiful (and seemingly happy) women on the planet. He plays golf for a living and has more money that he could probably ever spend. He now can have everything he wants, no waiting, no stressing, no anticipation, no drama. In other words... nothing is really all that interesting. So he creates drama... intrigue... danger. Of course the problem with creating danger is that something real must be risked, and risk means it can really go all wrong... and it has.

Wow, that's an interesting, yet antique, take on the subject of cheating, Cheval. The woman is wrong. She's not making her man happy. Yeah, that's what makes a good man act like a scumdog.


I agree with you, R. Just disappointment here that he wasn't what I thought he was. I hope his Dad is speaking to him, as you suggested, and wasn't the role model for this behavior. That would stink some more.

Tiz, it wasn't my opinion. And out of all the men at the lunchroom discussion (about 8) it was unanimous. That's why I was asking the men here.

Yes, Cheval, I didn't say it was your opinion.

Well the # is up to 16! I guess Tiger believes in the old saying
"if you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with"-BTO(?)

Being on the road most of the year means he is not home. Maybe with this time off he and his wife with be able to work things out.:)

Good one.... "love the one you're with".... and in Tiger's case that means ALL of 'em! ;)

Sounds like more sponsors are dropping him....

At the rate things are going I won't be surprised if it turns out that there were hundreds of women.

I'm starting to wonder if I should be disgusted... or envious. :eek:

I mean... one affair is a scandal, but a hundred is a legend! :popcorn:

He's young. Probably a few years before he has to face that, unless Elin gets a hold of a sharp knife instead of a golf club next time.

Now he's been voted "Athlete" of the decade. Yea, like golf is a sport. He is very talented at golf no doubt, but "athlete", I don't think so.
