Tiger is probably guilty of infidelity (is he the first man to do this?). But, he is now protecting his wife so she doesn't end up in jail. He's still the man!
Geesh. Lets pass out the dirty laundry eh? I G M O.
Why can't people mind their own business ?
Is your life that dull ?
Todd, I agree entirely. If this incident was about anybody else, a normal working guy, probably like you and I, would the cops be going nuts trying to interview him for hitting a tree and a fire hydrant? I think not.
Everybody that's married, or in a relationship for that matter, has had a disagreement with their spouse. This may be all that this is about. So WHAT!!! Leave the guy and his wife alone, and let them work whatever is going on out in private. They are entitled to that, at a bare minimum.
Media... leave him alone. Stop the feeding frenzy that this has become. As Todd said above... mind your own business.
Poor little rich famous guy.
My wishes to Tiger & Elin that they are allowed to work through this privately.
The only time it is any business of ours if a "famous person" cheats on their spouse, is if that person is constantly preaching to us from a bully pulpit about how pristine their values & ethics are. Then, it's fair game to call them out if they are found to be violating those supposed pristine values & ethics. Otherwise, none of our business. Period.
If he hadn't cheated, there wouldn't be anything to protect her from. Duh.
Poor little Eldrick! He gets no privacy and his feelings are hurt. WAH, WAH, WAH!!! You are a billionaire because you are a public figure. If you want your privacy, give back all of the money you recieved for your squeaky clean image.
Yeah, protect her.
Protect her from syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, HIV, aids, hepatitis.
Leprechaun, you're an idiot. Of course the cops would be all over a regular person for hitting a tree and a fire hydrant. In fact, we would have already been issued a ticket and a court date for destruction of city property. Any accident that happens on a public roadway resulting in bodily injury SHOULD be investigated. All this boo-hoo'ing for Woods confounds me; if he weren't Tiger Woods, his ass would have been sitting in JAIL before he'd even sobered up, end of story.
I dont think they need to back away from Tiger. It's the media circus that needs to back away as most people are tired of them. Not to mention, when your worth a billion dollars in sales money, thats alot of Nike cap's!
This is ridiculous - he hasn't been proven to have done anything. The police denied TMZ reporting about the medical records.
There isn't even proof about the girl he supposedly bonked - she's fully denying it. When did the National Inquirer become legit? Does that mean all those pictures of multi-headed babies and aliens they used to publish are true, too?
It's crazy how people get judged in the court of public opinion, where you're guilty until proven innocent - and even then you're still kind of guilty, anyway.
Excellent response. Couldn't agree with you more.
He admitted to cheating on his wife. He waited until after the FHP closed its criminal case before he admitted to doing wrong. The FHP should re-open the case and unfortunately arrest his wife for domestic voilence since she damaged his car and caused the injuries that hender him from playing this weekend.
It is a tit for a tat. If a male would have done this all of this we all would have been screaming to lock him up.
I am sure that Tiger is guilty of something however it is none of our business. He has always kept his private life to himself and that is the way it should be so move on people!
I agree!! Mind your own business. There is more important things to be letting the public know about!
We are all guilty of something. Do not throw stones when you live in a glass house...do not pluck the tiny speck of out your brothers eye until you have taken the plank out of your own....let he who has not sinned cast the first stone. Leave Tiger alone and let him and his family figure out how to deal with it. It is none of our business
One what has he done! Two - they have backed worse things done by others! How absolutely stupid to even ask us to vote on this! Our wonderful media at it again!
Leave this man and his family alone....whether they had a fight or not. They are a beautiful and precious family with everything going for them. They have and will continue to make mistakes, as we all have and will. Instead of wagering, wishing and guessing, try praying for them and us all. Otherwise, you waste your time, their time and mine. Love to all.
Guess what, I pray for him to lose everything!!!
He is a lowlife piece of filth for cheating on his wife. PERIOD!!!
Praying only "helps" the person praying in their own minds.
First, I`m not saying this is true but for all we know Mrs. Woods is suffering from severe post-partum depression. She believes he has cheated on him which may not be true but she believes it to be true. They were arguing about her belief that he was cheating and she went after him with a 7 iron. Retreat being the better option at the moment he was getting the he!! out of dodge and did so most unsafely. Her minor break with reality was over when she saw he was hurt, she helped save him, they are now working on repairing the marital damage. Conversely he might have really cheated on her but that would still not give her an excuse to go after him with a 7 iron let alone anything else. I think there was some kind of heated argument and he was rushing away but still.....
Bottom line..... it is none of our business. He`ll pay for the damages he caused and I hope they get help.
Man, that's just great! Tiger goes and eff's around and you lay the blame on his wife. News at eleven "Tiger walks on water"
Kelcy
You dope. How do you know all that you have written? Stop speculating and leave the family alone. It could have been NOTHING like what you are spewing about
Kelcy,
I am going to have to agree with you on this. First of all for someone to be reading this and writing comments but then saying leave the family alone is a dope. There is no proof that he cheated however I do think it is clear that she went after him with a golf club considering the facts. I think tiger is protecting his wife at this point because even if he did cheat he has not committed a crime...her on the other hand, by beating his face and going after him with a golf club could put her in jail. So whether he cheated or not...cudo's to him for protecting his wife.
What is he currently guilty of? Has he been charged with a crime? Did he beat his wife? Did he run over somebody? Short answer, no.
If I did something like this and then refused to talk to the police, I would be talking from a jail cell. Tiger obviously thinks he is above the law since he is so rich & famous. It's well past time for him to come clean. I think his endorsements should be canceled until he earns them back.
I have been a Tiger fan up until now, but no more.

Kobe took a similar popularity and sponsor "hit" after his dalliance, and now look at him! Anything Tiiger says can and will be used against him, so keep it quiet Tiger. Buy your wife an Escalade whose airbag is programmed to activate!!!!
2late2matter: First of all, Kobe was alleged to have forced himself on the girl, and secondly, an airbag is supposed to deploy only under certain conditions, say, a head-on collision at a speed limit over 35 mph. I highly doubt Tiger's Escalade was blowing down his driveway at even 10 mph, let alone 35.
Did you see the pictures of the front-end damage? You cannot do that at 10 MPH. Any crash that would destroy the front-end that badly would cause the airbag to deploy.
MSNBC, how about you cover something else instead of trying to poke your non-news writes where they don't belong. Just because he's the best golfer and possibly athlete in the world doesn't mean he isn't a human like the rest of us. I think we should start probing the lives of your senior staff to find every problem they have ever had and post it all over the net. You are a disgrace.
No. Just hope this is not domestic abuse. Its got alot of the signs of abuse. Poor Tiger.
For pete sakes leave the man alone! And I agree...when did the Enquirer become legitimate anything???!!!!
Who cares? There are far more important issues we should be dealing with and the press should be covering.
Let's see he had a fight with his wife and went tearing off in his car. No one else has ever done this ever!!!! Is it that slow a news day? Oh yeah he managed to hit a fire hydrant and a tree and knock himself stupid. I guess this has never happened before either. I think I'll go read a good book!
This is America where you are guilty until proven innocent....er....reverse that.
Nothing short of murder or having sex with a man will make Nike back away from their golden boy. Remember Rebok backed Iverson after he chased his naked wife into the street with a shotgun. Sports idols in this country can do no wrong. Sad state of affairs, but this is what it has come to.
Oh for heaven's sake, back off. The man hit a fire hydrant and won't talk to the media gossip mongers. Can't you bored gossip hounds at least wait and see if this is anything more than an accident?
Oh come on - its' nobody's business but that of Tiger and his wife. The media causes more trouble than they're worth. Everyone should just back off!!!
Maybe we should give Tiger benefit of the doubt against the National Enquirer! Unless you believe Elvis is an alien from another Planet.
