Tiger Woods + Media = Yuck

I didn’t want to turn this into a gossip column, but I couldn’t help myself with this Tiger Woods stuff. So 8 women have come forward claiming to have been “involved” with the world famous golfer, with another 2 being “unconfirmed”. I’m sure that number has substantially increased since I wrote this..

But as it stands, pretty much every single girl has gone and run their mouths to a tabloid.. No doubt for substantial amounts of money. But Tiger Woods has still yet to say anything to anyone. Hasn’t Oprah been trying to get him to talk and stuff?

At this point, if even just HALF of the stories turn out to be true, its bad. Even if he has some kind of David Duchovny “addicion” problem, this behaviour is not ok – at all.

It just really really bothers me that all these women are selling their stories. Like REALLY?! Are you really that short on dollars?! Is the porn industry being hit by the recession?! Do you not have even a tiny baby speckle of respect for yourself?! And what about the one who was apparently cheating on Tiger Woods with George Clooney??? I’m sorry, I think I need to draw myself a chart. I can’t keep up! Just kidding.. I’m sure every other blogger has made a chart, go check theirs out – give them some views, I’m not wasting time on that lol!

And also, Tiger’s sponsers are dropping him . I wonder where they would have drawn the line.. Would 1 or 2 women have been ok? Or maybe even 5-6??

Anyway, back to these women. One was on the Today show, and another one issued an apology to Tiger Woods’ wife via Entertainment Tonight. OUCH! Are you kidding me?! Can you imagine what his wife must be going through.. I mean, it must be bad enough dealing with stuff like this in the privacy of your own home.. But to have all of this aired out in the open is ridiculous. And to have one of these women APOLOGISE to you… Oh man, I would be SO MAD!!! She must have known that something was going on – maybe not to the extent that it apparently is….

But I mean when it comes down to it, he’s just a guy who made a REALLY big mistake – several times. He doesn’t owe anyone except his wife and children. He’s famous for his golfing abilities – not his vow keeping abilities. He’s not a saint, just a man who happens to be a damn good golf player.

And the people who are going to stop buying and using Nike golf clubs because Tiger Woods cheated on his wife are just ridiculous. What, your clubs are all of a sudden going to suck because of this story? I don’t think so. There’s just going to be another story like this in a few weeks.. And then another one, and another one. In a few months time, this will all just be dust in the wind. No one will care about it any more – with the exception of his wife.

It makes me sad that their children will have all these articles and videos to look back on when they’re older. What will they think of their parents? It’s not fair. And these women.. Half of them probably haven’t even met him, and just want their 2 minutes of fame – but with todays gossip columns, they’ll be all over TMZ exiting clubs or getting their hair did. Yuck. It makes me mad.

Just as a quick addition to this, an apology has been posted on Tiger Woods’ official website:

Tiger Woods taking hiatus from golf

By Tiger Woods

I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I’ve done, but I want to do my best to try.

I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding. What’s most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.

After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.

Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period.

Hopefully no more shady women will come out and sell their “stories” to the tabloids and the Woods family can deal with this matter privately.
