Tiger NEVER should have gotten married in the 1st place...

...BUT --- as we all know, his nag of a mother undoubtedly brow-beat Tiger into finally getting married and ultimately demanding him to GIVE HER SOME GRAND-BABIES!!!! To wit, IMG management probably encouraged him to do the "family" thing too in an effort to make him even more marketable (not to mention put an end to the gay rumors lmfao) --- the perfect golfer with the perfect swing, perfect wife, and perfect life. My theory regarding Tiger's double-life & two-timing ways and and his innumerable marital indiscressions (with as many as a dozen floozies possibly) stems from his extended world-wide travel and the loneliness his schedule likely entails. His infidelity can also be described accurately as acts of "rebellion", ie "Nobody tells me what to do, who to marry, who I can screw, I'm Tiger freakin' Woods after all..." etc.

Tiger's acts, while selfish, should not come as a surprise to anyone who is familiar with the temptations that professional athletes and celebrities are confronted with on a daily basis. Let's face it folks, he's basically a billionaire Playboy, the most famous, most worshipped and recognized athlete on the planet; the world is HIS oyster, the rest of us are just living in it. Why not satisfy his most immediate and basest of carnal needs if the other parties (chicks) are hot, ready, willing, and ABLE? And while I don't think his taste in women is all that great, he DID nail a few hotties along the way I suppose. I don't get the whole Vicodin/Ambien aphrodesiac angle however...

I personally don't require an apology from Eldrick to continue admiring his dominance of Golf or his legendary work ethic, if I were him, and got married too soon just to make Mama Woods happy (and shut-up), for all the wrong reasons, then I TOO would have probably had all kinds of mistresses all over the U.S. and the globe --- but I would have been a bit more careful, SMARTER about the electronic paper-trail/cell-phone texts that eventually got him into trouble with his wife, his sponsors, and ultimately the world at large.

Tiger, do yourself and everybody else a favor and get back on the golf course ASAP to do what you do best --- WIN. His image and reputation are both undeniably TARNISHED for now, but still far from being permanently destroyed... another win and Green Jacket @ Augusta later this April would go a long way to help restore the publics' previous opinions/perception of the world's greatest athlete... Tiger would be a FOOL to miss a Masters right now, if he is indeed still serious about eclipsing Nicklaus' Majors total.

hey bro...exactly I just want to see him back on the golf course.  Any idea who the two chicks were next to his mother??

Bravo!

Thx AJ

What Tiger did today he could have and SHOULD have done 2-3 months ago for cryin' out loud. No REAL surprises during his 'mea culpa' but the Buddhism references kinda caught me off guard lol... He claims that he "strayed away" from classical buddhist teachings and philosophy (my own insinuation), but I would disagree with regard to his play on the golf course, where he is able to focus on the task at hand and become self-absorbed in the present, or as some call it "staying in the moment" better than any other golfer ever, either alive or dead. Even Nicklaus made FAR more mistakes than Tiger ever did or does... Nah, Tiger is INDEED a buddhist monk of sorts ON THE COURSE, but off the course I think he's just horny and bored frankly...

What's the story behind your Avatar? I acutally thought his speech today really came across as overly rehearsed and contrived. I am sure that he meant a lot of what he said, but this whole thing was just the first step in the process of rebuilding his image and corporate sponsors, foundation etc. and he obviously has a PR firm working with him on a long range plan. I like you think he needs to get back to golf and would be very surprised if he doesn't play at Augusta, Pebble, and St. Andrews three venues which really fit his game. I think his initial reaction is to try and save his marriage for the sake of his kids, but that is the wrong path to go down. I personally can't see how his marriage can survive all the scrutiny and the court of public opinion. He has irreparably damaged that imo.

I'd say she got bored with him.Having children can do that to a woman

I agree the whole marriage was in essence probably arranged by his corporate sponsors but if they threatened to pull out on him they probably gave him little choice in the matter.

Think about it it's as if he was getting paid to get married and become a good middle American citizen with the wife and kids and be seen as this type of all American family man when all he really wanted to do was go out and get his freak on.

Tiger Woods, I salute you  You Sex Machine 

Now any chance you could hook me up with some of those babes 

1.  I hope he rehearsed it a lot...it aired all of the world.  Anyone speaking for 15 mins should rehearse what they are going to say and have note cards or whatever makes them feel comfortable.

2.  I think this was also clearly a "Step" in the sex addict rehad facility he is located at and had he not been there....we would not even got the statement last week.
