    I just realized that with all of Tiger's recent 'transgressions,' how did he focus in his tournaments? If i was him, that would constantly be on my mind! Imagine how good he actually could have been if he was on the straight-and-narrow!

      May actually have worked the other way we don't know if he won during his dalliances or lost. The sad part of all this is still not being talked about and that is his First Tee foundation, that preaches the lessons of golf to kids who need examples of honesty and integrity in their lives. Not sure how that's gonna work out now. He failed the first lesson of leadership, and golf and that is personal integrity. Sad really sad

        I find it difficult how people can talk about leadership, honesty, and integrity when they themselves are not practicing it.

      Oh shut up as if Tiger Woods invented infidelity and performing well at his job.  You don't know Tiger Woods nor do you know what his relationship was with his wife?  He's a celebrity; only people in his family know who he really is.  I don't know those people and neither do you. Stop harping on the dude as if Jesus Christ let you down or something.  For those of you who raise your children to idolize sports figures or entertainer or anyone except yourself; you're a moron.  Give you children real people to look up to and model after. Namely yourself. Don't rely on some enigmatic superstar personality to ingratiate their little minds at your behest. Moron.

    ESPN reported that his wife was filing for divorce.  In my career of working with people I've seen two things that derail careers.  One is problems with drugs and alcohol, the other is divorce.

    If he does get divorced, I wonder if he will ever return to the same playing level.

      What downfall are you referring to and how has all this affected his golfing abilities? I mean yeah there will be a downfall in his revenues from advertising, but I do not believe that his level of play will deteriorate once he assumes playing.

      As for having so many women, looking at him I doubt there were many of them before he became millionaire, so maybe he was trying to make up for it.smile

        But perhaps he is an example of the coarsening of society? Not that society hasn't always been coarse...people have been cheating on their spouses since marriage was invented.

        But there are no role models for people to seek a higher level. (How many religious types preached sanctity of marriage, only to be revealed as indulgin in prostitutes themselves.)

        But all you have to do is look at TV - the baby sitter practically every parent uses these days. As soon as there kid is old enough to sit up, plop it goes in front of the TV for indoctrination.

        And that indoctrination for girls and boys, is that girls were put on the planet as eye candy for boys. They must look attractive for boys, they must enjoy the ogling that boys give them, if boys aren't interested they must gang up on him and make him interested (those sick Axe commercials).

        And it's no use saying, "If those commercials offend you, don't watch them."  It's not me but the boys who watch this crap and get it engrained into their heads that women are sex objects first last and always that is responsible for a lot of today's problems. Boys are egomaniacs anyway. Give 'em five hours of indoctrinaton a day that females are there for sex only.. and give girls the same hours of indoctrination that that's what *they're for, and today's society is what you get.

        As for Tiger Woods, I think he should be ashamed of himself, but it is interesting how cowardly he's being. It will only make it harder for him when he does decide to talk to the press. I  hope his wife takes him to the cleaners!

          Why should Tiger Woods be the role models for out kids morality. He is a craftsman as far as his sport goes. Maybe the lesson here is as a sportsman don't get married to quickly. Maybe because he got married too quickly that could be why he does not know how to deal with the situation. As far as commercial endorsements goes' there are other things he could endorse. If there were so many women and world we live in with safe sex is an advert that needs to be encourage. What I'm thinking is that Tiger might be the right man to do that. We must remember a sportsman is a sportsman. Sportsman come from many different background and are not the Holy of Holies as many of us here. He is a golfer and not a Priest thank God for that, so he can endorse a condom brand LOL

    If you ask me, this is a woman scorned getting even with co-horts in the golf world to back her up. The sole purpose to get rid of one of the best players in golf.

    So. Tiger woods had multiple affairs. BFD! How many people in the entertainment world have not done the same thing? If it were me, I would get a picture of the bitch slap it on a t-shirt and wear it at every tournament. On the front, her pic, on the back...yeah I banged her!

    You want publicity using my name honey...here it is!

    The media went way too far over this. If it was discovered that I hit 10 fire hydrants, had affairs with 1,000 women, ran over a dozen dogs, and showed my penis to the paparrazi 100 times. Do you think anyone would give a flying rooster?

    Come on! people need to get over it. He made a huge mistake dropping out of Golf.

    And, there is nobody but the media to blame for it.

    let him work out his private life at home. I could care less!

    Call it what you want, but I think Tiger got a healthy dose of karma. He's a cheat in his personal life, maybe not on the golf course. He advocates integrity to kids and cheats behind their backs.

    Karma.

    Sad that he put himself and his family in this position. Forget about the people HE used for sex. They were objects, not people. The fact that they came out against him is just his own consequences.

    Hard, hard lessons to learn.

    I have no sympathy for him. He constructed this all very carefully in his mind and it unraveled without him being able to control any of it. So he has to start over. Welcome to real life. People have to do this every day and they didn't lead double lives, but have had catastrophic losses because of death, disease and more. So much the better he has a chance to learn important lessons of real integrity. Maybe now he can promote it without a double standard.

    yeah those Axe commercials are pretty lame. sometimes i watch some of these ads in primetime and think 'wow, if i had little kids in the house these ads would be uncool'.

    but i still think most people are decent. Tiger Woods is a huge celebrity and a jillionaire and away from his wife so he took full advantage. it kills me when they say they love their wife. if he really did love his wife, no woman could tempt him, not even Anjelina Jolie naked.

      I couldn't agree more. We switch the channel constantly through some ads (I've got an 8 yr old bro). It's the perfume ads especially..it's like spraying me = sexeh time roll

      I agree most people are decent and Tiger definitely took advantage of it. I'm not defending him-cheating is WRONG and cheating while still professing deep love is DOUBLY WRONG, but David Beckham cheated on Victoria and that didn't have any of the repercussions like Tiger's having. I don't get it.

      Shouldn't we have the same precedent for everyone. I'm not playing the race card either, in case people think I'm making it a colour issue. He's not the first cheating celeb and won't be the last.

      Society seems to be making an example of him....I do hope his wife rinses him dry-His cowardly behaviour handling the situation is piss poor.

        Gale Forceposted 14 years agoin reply to this

        The problem, I think, is not that he cheated on his wife, but that he did it with *so many* women! The guy seems to have had a woman in every city.

        If he'd cheated once, I don't think the publicity would be this bad. Equally, if he'd stood up like a man, called a press conference, and stood in front of people and told them to mind their own business, even, instead of staying in seclusion and issuing press releases on his website!

        Even the fiance who killed (accidently or otherwise) football player Chris Henry had the cojones to go to his funeral, and actually make a speech about how much she loved him! But Tiger, who only cheated and didn't kill anyone, refuses to meet the press.

        Some people say it isn't our business. And it wouldn't be if this were some poor schmuck that the majority of us hang around with . No one cares except his family, true. But when it's a guy like Tiger...it comes with the territory. If he wanted to keep his private life private, he shoudl have read his speech in front of live people, again, not just put it on his website. 

        But it would have taken courage to do that. I'm not sure that I'd have that courage if *I* were in his place - not that I'd've been that dumb! - but he sure doesn't have that courage.

          I find it as an utter nonsense when reporters start talking that he need to call a press conference and explain his actions to the public. Wtf, do they explain themselves to Tiger? Then why should he explain himself to them? At the end of the day it's his right to bang whoever he wants and that's not people's business. The fact that he's famous doesn't mean that he's held responsible to public for his personal life decisions, although their interest in his life is not surprising.

      Well, I have to say I disagree. Men who love their wives do have affairs, because they want a little bit of variety in their sex life. But again, most of them don't have 14 mistresses, all apparently running at the same time!

      If statistics are to be believed, most people do cheat on their spouse. IF they are smart and use protection, no repercussions usually come of it.

      But apparently Tiger didnt' use condoms, so he was trusting these women to be disease free, and to make sure they didn't get pregnant. That's what I don't understand. Your whole reputation depends on you being a "stand up guy", and you depend on someone else to ensure you don't father a love child, whom you will then have to pay for for the rest of your life? Stupid.

    while i agree he doesn't need to call a press conference, he still is a role model of sorts for a lot of young people. a very rich role model. Nike alone gave him $30 million for his good name. he is allowed to do what he wants in his private life, but he has to understand that he's also carrying the weight of all of those commercial endorsements and has to conduct himself with a reasonable amount of decorum. if he wants to tarnish his own name, that's fine, but when he attaches his name to big companies who use him as a postive force for their products, placing their logos and stuff on his clothes, etc. he has a certain amount of responsibility to them.

    Tiger had no shortage of women before he became a billionaire. but he promised his wife when he married her those days were over.

    1. Diskobolos profile image58
      Diskobolosposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      I would rather say that big companies attached their name to his name, instead the other way. And yes he has a certain amount of responsibility to them and they have the right to terminate contract if he fails to fulfill his responsibilities, which a lot of them did, so I don't see any problem there. I don't see that he screwed them.

      Personally I have a problem with that whole role model bs thing, as none of these highly paid athletes choose themselves to be role models for young people, it is big companies and media that are doing it in order to make hefty profits from selling these "role models" and their merchandise. When later it turns out that some athlete is not what they advertised him to be, why blame him for not living to the role model standards, blame big companies for selling him to the public as some kind of a role model.

      Now what he promised to his wife when he married her I don't know, we haven't been drinking coffees together.smile

      PS Only the role model part, when things like this happens all the attack is aimed at Tiger, because he is a man. All the sympathy goes to his wife but the story is not hard to follow, if you read between the lines.
      He is a great sportsman but the story about the accident does not make sense.
      As we can all see Tiger is not the dominant one in the relationship. It seems to me that he could be a victim of bullying. Tell which of you would give up you craft, in a situation like we have with Tiger.
      We all are Gods passing judgement, without knowing the full facts. How do we know that as a man going elsewhere was his way of walking away. Some men stand and trade punches, but he went and made love, I not going to feel sorry for him. I feel rather glad for him, can you imagine what the media would say, had he hit his wife. ( Just a thought )

    It is a sad situation and a sad commentary on ourselves.  There is so much more involved.  He was driven as a young man by his father and while the skills got honed so too did his resentment. 

    Go back over the earlier tournments - golf WAS a gentleman and ladies game.  Bad behavior wasn't tolerated on the courses or in the games, yet Tiger got away with it time after time - the cameras just cut away when he got started.  The media built him up and he was too immature to handle the pressures of "too much, too soon".  Most fell for the media's rendition of who Tiger was and didn't take into consideration that there was a lot more underneath.  Tiger ran with the fantasy and played it for everything it was worth.  I'm sure there must be some good points here to TW but it's going to take a long time to unravel the mess and a long time for folks to recover...

    As far as him being a "role model", consider what being a role model really is all about.  Did you allow your children to look up to him because of the media hype or because of what you, yourself, had knew to be fact?

    besides, that's what he wants - you to still be thinkng about him, etc.

    far better to just erase him completely.

    Tiger is a golfer. His father had these types of issues, but wasnt a billionaire with women at his fingertips. I wonder, if Tiger had asked you.... would you have been there?

    The sad part of this is the children and the ground swell of interest in golf again.

    His wife - I think she is a strong woman and will make sure her children are well cared for and not damaged by this.

    As a human he is susceptible to all the temptations here in this thing we call life.

I have stopped watching golf because the tour is a little stale without him. I hope he returns SOON!
