Ryan Ballengee at the excellent golf blog WaggleRoom.com finds ESPN video of Tiger Woods criticizing Michael Vick in 2007 for waiting too long to apologize to the public about his dogfighting operation.
“If you made that big a mistake, you’ve got to come out and just be contrite, be honest and just tell the public that ‘I was wrong.’”
“Waiting a long time got a lot of people polarized. … If he would have come out earlier, he would’ve diffused a little more of it.”
In case you think that’s actually an SNL script, there’s video of Woods making the comments after the jump - plus a very interesting new tidbit about Woods caddy Steve Williams.
“We talk about anything and everything together,” Woods said.
Williams told interviewer Murray Deaker he and Woods had a relationship that was “just like a marriage really.”
“The longer you go on, the more you know about one another,” Williams said.
Williams has gone on the record now twice vehemently denying that he knew anyting about Woods’ multiple affairs.

What Vick did was criminal, Woods’ infidelity is immoral, not a criminal act. You cannot compare the two.
12:37 pm on December 18th, 2009
@ S - not really different from a PR standpoint, which I saw as the point of the posting……
12:53 pm on December 18th, 2009
Bill Plaschke writing in the LA Times indicates that Woods was obviously using performance enhancing drugs at least as long ago as last year. He describes Woods as looking more like Barry Bonds than the old Tiger. http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-plaschke16-2009dec16,0,2923714.column
12:56 pm on December 18th, 2009
to s…bar none is correct.
woods is a hypocrite and being proved a fraud and a coward.
tiger was suppose to be a man and own up to what he did. not run and hide like he is doing.
1:00 pm on December 18th, 2009
when there is that much fame and money to be gained, of course drug use has a great chance of being used by athletes.
kids in high school use performance enhancing drugs. IN HIGH SCHOOL!!!
do you really believe that a guy like tiger would shy away from drug use with all that fame and money available to him?
and looking at how tiger is built, i am not surprised, what a loser this guy is being shown to be.
a liar, a fraud, a coward,,,if you want to sleep around with all that trash, THEN DONT GET MARRIED AND HAVE KIDS YOU LOSER!
2:20 pm on December 18th, 2009
The cost of a golf ticket does not include a morals clause. Just like the position of being a state or Federal Senator does not include a morals clause.
We pay him to golf. He does that extremely well. What he does after that is none of our business.
2:37 pm on December 18th, 2009
Tiger didnt do anything wrong to me or you. No need to apologize. His wife is the one in need on an apology.
2:38 pm on December 18th, 2009
@ Bar None and Anonymous - I see hwere you guys are coming from, but to me, i just think immoral and illegal are tow different things. Yes Woods is somewhat hypocritical, but i think what he said about Vick was about him (Vick) addressing the criminal actions he was a part of, and then he can move on with his career. Everything Tiger has done wrong is between him, his family and the litany of hoes he’s ran through.
2:43 pm on December 18th, 2009
S you speak the truth.
2:48 pm on December 18th, 2009
Why are people calling him a fraud? Because he wasn’t nearly as perfect in his personal life as in his golf career? He is human after all, like the rest of us, and makes mistakes like the rest of us. Granted, he kind of has all this coming for cheating on his wife. And he probably lied because this is really a personal matter between him and his wife, not him and the nosy, get-a-life-public. And I wouldn’t call him a coward since he did come with the truth NOT LONG after the accident. I think “Respect” says it well. Peace.
3:25 pm on December 18th, 2009
Tiger Woods has dissappointed anyone that watched him that has a contience. He makes $10 mil a year PLAYING golf, he makes $90 mil a year on his IMAGE. If he continues to play golf, and I am sure he will, his income will probably drop to a total of $10-$25 mil a year including limited endorsements, because his image created a big marketing opportunity for the corporate world. Now he is tarnished goods the big Corporate money will go away, the purses will decrease and the PGA players will make less money. Simple economics. The PGA built a brand on one player and he shit the bed on them…
3:42 pm on December 18th, 2009
Biscuit. People forgave Kobe and his was a rape charge. This will pass. So in the mean time, I am going to the store in my buick to get some gatorade and razors after I stop by consultants at Accenture. They I am sure will tell me to just do it!
3:51 pm on December 18th, 2009
Tiger Woods is NOT tarnished. The people who dropped him, did so because of pressure not because of his image. His image was purely about the sport. had they signed him because he had kids or because of his wife then you have an argument. oh yea and the wrong kid died
4:16 pm on December 18th, 2009
Kobe only had the ONE BIG blemish…we don’t know how many Tiger’s final count will tally.
Tiger’s contract has a two clauses, one for morals and one for sanity….the morals has been trashed…but Tiger, ever the entertainer, said that the Sanity Clause would not be coming to his house this Christmas…oh, that Tiger….I laughed and laughed
4:18 pm on December 18th, 2009
is the argument here that woods is a hypocrite because he’s saying that vick should have apologized and yet he himself has not?
if so, then whoever is making that argument should take note of the fact that tiger has apologized several times in his official statements and has directly taken responsibility for his actions and admitted that he was wrong to behave in such a way.
the hypocrisy argument doesn’t hold water.
4:23 pm on December 18th, 2009
Vick and Tiger did the very same thing….using dogs for entertainment. Bow-wow. Only, some of VIck’s dogs looked better than Tiger’s.
The young girl went to fetch her doggie a bone
But as she bent over
Ol’ Tiger, he drover
Cause, TIger had a bone of his own
That is the bone of contention.
4:24 pm on December 18th, 2009
I bet Tiger’s mommy is spanking his butt for this. But then he ‘prolly likes it…
4:27 pm on December 18th, 2009
YEAH, BABBBEE…Sticks and stones may break my bones but mommie slapping me turns me on..OH YEAH
4:50 pm on December 18th, 2009
You people are nuts. Tiger did nothing illegal. The only person he hurt and the only one he is accountable to is his wife.
The only reason we know Tiger Woods’ name is that he is a great golfer. He owes no one any explanation or apology except his wife.
6:16 pm on December 18th, 2009
Brooks, if you and erybody writing about this Tiger Woods problem has never committed any infedility before, keep on throwing the stone on him. Remember that anybody who lives in a glass house should not throw stones. If you throw a stone on a palm tree, remember it will come back to you.
6:31 pm on December 18th, 2009
Anyway, as I was saying - not really different from a PR standpoint, which I saw as the point of the posting……
Only naivete would lead one to look at this circumstance and slap on the “he’s a golfer only” blinders and try to run with it - not even Tiger’s PR guys think that will fly……
They are clearly dead in the water for some reason (I can think of many)….
From a PR standpoint, it’s a failure to let “the public” develop their opinions without input from all sides involved - there’s no unringing that bell.
6:36 pm on December 18th, 2009
let’s not forget everyone was saying that Vick should have apologized sooner. he had to give some type of response. so he gave one that was safe true and not too critical
7:14 pm on December 18th, 2009
Let’s be serious folks, Tiger is just too good, too valuable for just one broad. There’s no woman on earth who deserves a man like Tiger all for herself. And those who hang on to him are just gold-diggers, waiting for the minute to file for divorce and take a bite out of his riches. The world is full of “Zsazsa-types”, and given the chance evem Mother-Theresa would stand in line.
7:25 pm on December 18th, 2009
Listen he is young ,and rich! who cares. He can explain to his children when they are older. Other than that Go Tiger, bang all you can before you die of old age. Please, next time Tiger find something better than your wife, you got whores from craigslist and nothing bettter.
Good luck !
7:44 pm on December 18th, 2009
Whether what Woods did was legal or not, people judge other people. Most golf is played by people with more disposable income than the average person. It is still somewhat of a country club sport, like tennis. The people marketing to these folks are going to pay attention when their cash cow looks like a lying cheating husband TWELVE times over.
A sleeve of 3 Nike One golf balls costs $15! (lost on one hole)
The Nike Saquatch Driver $400-500!!
A round of golf at Torry Pines (a municipal Golf Course)$200.00
A ticket to the Masters is impossible to get unless you are royalty.
What Tiger did was look like your average lowlife NBA punk, not a PGA professional. That is the marketing problem…
A good leather basketball costs around $60 (the shoes can set you back another hun…), you go to the playground with your friends and play for free…
you are selling to a whole different demographic.
7:46 pm on December 18th, 2009
most of the comment proves how deprave this country has become morally. yeah it is true that the one person that suffer is the wife but he gets pay for the image that was created. Most white folks love him because he did not fit the stereotype black guy but guess what he only added to it.
8:10 pm on December 18th, 2009
Liked Johnsie’s comment. People thar ridiculously awesome (money/looks/talent) probably do need to spread their seed around and let others get some of that stuff!
8:12 pm on December 18th, 2009
Golf is a mental game. Can Tiger muster the mental toughness to overcome all the negativity when he comes back on tour. If he can and eclipses Jack 18 major record then everybody including Accenture will be back on Tiger’s bandwagon again, although it may cost Accenture 30% more to get back on. Tiger should not be compared to Vick and OJ.
And who’s to say that the Nordic beauty is not a frigid wife. Can you blame him then? How would you feel if you bring home millions a week and your wife tells you she’s got a headache. After once or twice I would be calling up Rachel too.
8:15 pm on December 18th, 2009
Why has nobody commented that maybe his wife was BORING! And He tried to stay in that BORING marriage. But then it just became a shell to have children. “moral” people will not have children without marriage. Maybe she was his baby machine. We don’t know anything about her. Fascinates me how people assume she is “sweet.” Maybe too sweet and pure got him in this situation. Nothing wrong with a man liking “trash.” He should just marry it then so he can have fun at home too. Spoken from the mouth of a hot babe. He could have married me and I would have let him do WHATEVER he wanted. Just come home.
8:18 pm on December 18th, 2009
Comment for DUDE — sterio-type black guy. Dude. WHITE GUYS CHEAT TOO!!
8:22 pm on December 18th, 2009
The only crime TW committed was not banging more women who wanted a piece of him. His wife should have really not been sooooo naive. She needed to get a life and get hers on the side as well. Screw morals. PEOPLE WANT TO BE HAPPY! PERIOD! Have you cake and eat it too. Nothing wrong with that as long as you both are honest with what you need.
8:59 pm on December 18th, 2009
How disappointing at the depravity of some of these skanky low-life remarks. Tiger is paid on ALL those endorsements because of the IMAGE he ATTEMPTED to CREATE FOR HIMSELF - of great athlete, squeaky-clean husband and father, family man, etc. Go back and READ and WATCH some of those interviews, i.e., when the New Zealand sportscaster/interviewer POINTEDLY asked him, “Tiger you always state that it’s FAMILY FIRST, and GOLF SECOND: Will it ALWAYS be that way” ??? And Tiger looked him straight in the eye and replied “YES ABSOLUTELY” . He is a LYING, CONNIVING, NARCISSIST, who ONLY cares about HIMSELF and HIS MONEY, HIS STUFF, HIS FEELINGS and so on… If someone would have CHEATED on HIM, on the GOLFCOURSE he would have been the first to throw a huge temper tantrum , as WITNESSED in various videos. But he seems to think it’s “ok” to cheat on and betray his wife and children, with NOT ONE, NOT TWO, but 10 to 14 low-class prostitutes, fame-whores and scatterbrained skanks ??? His wife is probably scared to death that she and her young children may now have some type of venereal disease, HIV, or worse…. THIS is NOT “OK” to jeopardize the health, emotional well being and physical safety of your spouse AND children. He is the first to “point the finger” and criticize Michael Vicks for not coming out PUBLICLY and apologizing for what he did, and yet Tiger has been a FULL-ON COWARD and has been IN HIDING for 3 WEEKS RUNNING. Posting a short, trite, ’sorry I did some transgressions’ on his website, is NOT coming forward, NOR going public and admitting the ridiculous, offensive, skanky crap that he has put everyone thru, and mostly his wife and kids. HIDING in seclusion, SNEAKING around incognito, and SLITHERING around at dark like a snake, is NOT ‘MAN-ING-UP’ and taking the heat for everything he has done to cause pain, embarrassment, and humiliation to so many people though mainly his own family. People have apparently yet to ‘figure out’ that he ONLY makes 90 MILLION a YEAR on his endorsements BECAUSE he has CONNED PEOPLE into BELIEVING that he is an honest guy, devoted husband and father, family man, who happens to be ‘good’ at playing golf - - - “So BUY MY PRODUCTS, MAKE ME RICHER FOLKS” …… And everyone runs like cows to the slaughter …. Maybe Tag Heuer, Gillete, Accenture and the rest of them should have Lucifer the Devil as their NEXT spokesman, because HE is ‘good’ at ‘convincing people of things’ as well …. STAND UP AMERICA and quit making FEEBLE EXCUSES, for weak, one-minded guys who put their wife and kids at risk, all for a piece of ass. Something is terribly wrong with anyone who cannot see this …
9:10 pm on December 18th, 2009
For “Anonymous” you are an apparent airhead, and desperate dumbass… If someone is THAT “BORING” as you put it, then divorce them, but DON’T jeopardize your wife and innocent children with sexually transmitted diseases by sleeping with an endless chorus line of skanky whack-jobs. You must evidently be positively desperate to make your pathetic statement that if he was married to YOU, you’d let him do whatever the hell he wanted as long as he comes home …. How desperate for attention, money and a real life you must be, your poor pathetic thing …
9:11 pm on December 18th, 2009
Later tonight would be 3 weeks since I had the accident which triggered an onslaught of negative publicity which are more fiction than reality. I did have a few transgressions but nothing close to the number that had been banded around.. On Thanksgiving day one of my transgressions text messaged me while Elin and I were having dinner. One thing led to another and the next thing I knew was my cellphone flying at me , hitting me and causing a bloody lip.Realizing that my wife Elin was too upset and irrational I thought the best ting was to leave the house so she could calm down. While I was driving out of the driveway, I noticed that Elin was whacking away at my car windows, that distraction was enough to cause me to crash hitting a fire hydrant then a tree. I bumped my head and was knocked out . When I came to I realized that Elin had pulled me out of the car and had someone called 911. That is all i have to say on the accident. As to the women, yes, I did give in to temptation. I am not making excuses but while on tour the amount of beautiful girls hanging around everywhere is unbelievable. They are always there offering everything anywhere anytime. I fought it for many years especially when my dad was around but I finally succumbed to the weakness of the flesh. Yes I transgressed with maybe 5 or 6 different women. Yes, I have done wrong , I have embarrassed my wife and family and my business partners and all my loyal fans. I beg your forgiveness. Please give me and my family some privacy so we can work things out. I would still like to salvage my marriage and bring up my kids.Thank you. Tiger Woods
9:17 pm on December 18th, 2009
I can’ wait till Nike pulls out too! Tiger is a compleat freaking tool. Hes getting everything hes got coming to him and I love it. The sad part is he’s only doing what he was breed to do. It’s in his genetic makeup so I can’t believe anyone is suprised. In addition any jerk off that defends him or says it’s a private matter and to leave him alone is a sad loser themselves! I hope this destroys him for good.
Should of stayed single what a jagoff, lol!
9:17 pm on December 18th, 2009
And if ANYONE is naive enough to believe that the above comment is truly Tiger Woods, not to mention the misspelled words, poor grammar etc., I have some terrific lottery tickets that I would like to sell you that will guarantee you an income as big as Tiger Woods including all the con-jobs he did on the American People so they can buy all his products and make him even richer… give me a break …
9:33 pm on December 18th, 2009
yeah right..the fact u believed that anyone would believe that post was made by Tiger indicates you are the stupidest poster in this thread..call me for some beach front property in kansas.
9:36 pm on December 18th, 2009
That was pretty cool of Tiger to put out a statement on this blog. Tiger you da man!!! I forgive you , now let’s go take a run at Jack’s record. See you at Augusta, but watch out for those southern girls. They are awfully hard to say no to. Even Jimmy Carter had impure thoughts when they are around.
Yeah right, I’d like some of those guaranteed income lottery tickets, let me know how to get them, please.
9:53 pm on December 18th, 2009
This is a freaking circus! We have people clamoring for Tiger to make a statement. We have a guy claiming to be Tiger and making a statement. Then someone saying he’s not tiger. This joke got to stop. Aphrodite, please end it this weekend.
10:02 pm on December 18th, 2009
To “Joe” the ILLITERATE LOSER: Learn how to READ. And SPELL. There is no such word as ’stupidest’ … And read the post AFTER yours… You can bet there are PLENTY of people just as stupid as you on this thread. It figures you’re from Kansas; I earned $337,000.00 last year, how much did YOU earn ??? Yeah that’s what I figured …
10:34 pm on December 18th, 2009
tiger has nothing to worry about. he will be left with a half billion and life will go on. he will resume championship golf replace his loses in a few years and have more bimbos then all of you haters and minimum wage hackers will ever dream of having lol!!
10:40 pm on December 18th, 2009
@ FBI … your words are some of the best that I’ve read yet about this saga, which indeed began three weeks ago tonight … whoever you are, I tip my hat to you …
For me, the final straw with Tiger came this past summer, while watching the AT&T at Congressional on TV. There at the front of the gallery, was a young veteran in a wheelchair, missing both his arms and legs … a true hero, if ever there was one. And so along comes Anthony Kim and Tiger Woods, as they were paired together in the final group. While Kim reached over and gave the young man an encouraging pat, Woods merely strode past, fully engrossed in all his self-worth, without offering so much as a wink to the poor guy. Perhaps to some, that meant nothing ? To me however, it spoke volumes about what this man is truly all about … and even worse, it is so sad how we put people like him and his ilk, on such high pedestals.
11:02 pm on December 18th, 2009
For Comments from ‘FBI’ and ‘Blomfeldt’: you two are DEFINATELY the most intelligent and common-sense filled individuals who have posted on this site. If there were more folks like you guys, America would be a stronger country and a better influence on our next generation. Stay strong. Thanks for sharing with others a strong dose of Common Sense; seems that’s what America is missing ….
11:12 pm on December 18th, 2009
Kudos for above comments from FBI and BLOMFELDT. Nice to see intelligent comments from people with a conscience, common sense and a brain that works. You both rock in my book.
11:27 pm on December 18th, 2009
To “Blomfeldt” and “FBI” ………… Your comments were right-on. What a breath of fresh air to read some intelligent statements based on reality and common sense for once. I too, saw that disgraceful display of Mr. Woods evergrowing Narcissism at the AT & T Congressional: the Veteran with no arms, no legs, just his head on his body was all that was left, and Anthony Kim acknowledged this unfortunate gentleman, while Mr. Woods, all wrapped up in his self-centered, self obsessed, self-absorbed ego the size of Texas, strode past this guy, with no acknowledgement, no pat on the back, no kind word offered to him, such as “Thanks for being here man” or “Thanks for standing up for our country” - NOTHING - Just his USUAL self-serving, self-righteous arrogance. He is an embarassment, a fraud, and a conceited arrogant disgrace of a man, I don’t care HOW WELL he plays golf.
11:40 pm on December 18th, 2009
Blomfeldt.
I watched the ST&T Invitational and I saw Tiger gave an autographed ball to the wounded veteran in the wheel chair and here’s the article & link to prove it:
Tiger Woods Wins AT&T National — Golf FanHouse
5 Jul 2009 … 17 and 18, Tiger did what Tiger usually does when he’s in the lead …. he gave the winning ball to the wounded war vet in the wheel chair. ..
You sir are a liar and should be ashamed of yourself.
I can’t believe these people are actually calling you an intelligent person. An intelligent person finds out the truth and presents the truth.
11:47 pm on December 18th, 2009
Hey ‘Everyone Loses’ ; they may have seen Tiger give a ball to a wounded vet AT SOME POINT, but I TOO have seen Tiger Woods IN PERSON go waltzing past severely disabled and wounded folks ignoring them for coming out to see him in all his CONCEITED GLORY. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it.
11:51 pm on December 18th, 2009
Yeah right , looky here:
Stu·pid (stpd, sty-)
adj. stu·pid·er, stu·pid·est
1. Slow to learn or understand; obtuse.
2. Tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes.
3. Marked by a lack of intelligence or care; foolish or careless: a stupid mistake.
4. Dazed, stunned, or stupefied.
5. Pointless; worthless: a stupid job.
See you don’t know everything. Maybe the guy who posted “Tiger’s” statement was the same guy who posted after stupid Joe.
Still waiting for my lottery tickets, or maybe you can give me some of your $337K.
11:54 pm on December 18th, 2009
Amberjack, remember who gave those 30,000 tickets to the veterans to attend the event. Tiger did!
11:54 pm on December 18th, 2009
Everyone Loses - I second the motion for Amberjack NOT you. And what the heck is the “ST & T” ??? When YOU become a wounded vet with NO LEGS than YOU can see the TRUTH.
12:07 am on December 19th, 2009
‘everyone loses’ - - - “looky here” to you too:
1. Like it or not, ’stupidest’ is STILL considered poor
english. (Just like “looky here” … )
2. And you are CLEARLY green with envy of ‘yeah right’
who EARNS $337,000 a year, and unlike you, isn’t
asking anyone to let him LEACH off of THEM.
And 3. YOU should be ashamed of YOURself, NOT
Blomfeldt……..
12:31 am on December 19th, 2009
MD, the issue is not whether the usage of Stupidest is poor grammar but does the word exist . Yeah Right’s posting ” There is no such word as ’stupidest’ …” implies it does not.
Despite what you think, I was never envious of Yeah Right ’s $337K earning, I just though it is was rather pompous of him/her for putting that out. on the web. I wonder if that $337K was all declared on his/her tax return? Mr IRS, check out this email address, ISP and the name of Yeah right. This may prove very interesting.
12:51 am on December 19th, 2009
Above comment by ‘everyone loses’ ; if THAT doesn’t wreak of petty jealousy, I don’t know what does ! How assinine can one person be, as though all who post actually put a true email address, real name on their email and so on. Not to mention they could be on someone else’s computer, and as though the intern. rev. has nothing better to keep them busy, then listen to this jackass. What a spiteful, ignoramus.
1:12 am on December 19th, 2009
Shouldn’t that reek of petty jealousy??
I am so glad that Everyone Loses is taking so much heat and people have actually stop hating Tiger.
Everyone Loses Tiger is sending you a dozen of the Nike Black . Enjoy man!
1:41 am on December 19th, 2009
everyone loses, IS a loser …
9:18 am on December 19th, 2009
What do you people want from me? You asked for a statement. I gave you several on my website plus one here as well. You criticized my spelling & grammar, I didn’t realize that we’re in grammar school otherwise i would have someone check it before posting it. I wanted it to be from me and only me. Once again, I am sorry for my extramarital affairs. I have apologized to everyone and now I am trying to work things our with my wife but all these false news articles about our impending divorce and Elin leaving for Sewden are not helping. I am asking the press and the public to please back off and let us work this problem out on our own time.
I am also hurt by the comments that I ignored wounded vets at my most recent AT&T tournament. That is so far from the truth. As some poster indicated, I did give out 30,000 tickets so these vets could attend the event. During the course of the 4 day event I tried to acknowledge as many of these fine heroes as I could but you have to realize that we are “on the clock” so it is not possible for me to address every one of these 30,000 vets. .I did as my custom, present the winning ball to a vet, this year it was to a fine young soldier who lost hands and feet in his duty to the country. My father was in the military, the marines, and I have always praised the armed forces. They are the folks which make it possible for all of us to play golf in peace. If I did not greet everyone of those 30,000 vets I invited to the tournament, I apologize. And once again I apologize for my transgressions and beg for your forgiveness. Sincerely yours Tiger Woods
9:41 am on December 19th, 2009
Ahh!! That’s great!! Once again Cheetah proves to be a hypocrite. One set of rules for everyone else, one set for his “Mightiness.
10:55 am on December 19th, 2009
Tiger , you don’t owe anyone else besides Elin an apology.
You did not commit murder nor were you being cruel to animals., maybe too kind to some bitches
These people need to learn to mind their own damn business.
11:10 am on December 19th, 2009
Wait till the fans heckle him, and big ass Steve want to fight them all, Woods can’t handle any distraction on the course, I would expect him to loose more and more. When he is heckled like Montey.
11:38 am on December 19th, 2009
Even without the heckling Monty couldn’t win to save his life. True, there will be more heckling but there are rules to control that. Tiger & Stevie will be prepared for some additional distraction but Tiger has that ability to tune things out. Some people think that is arrogance, It is just Tiger in his “Zone”. I believe Tiger’s payback is to win and win some more. I predict he will get his 18th major within the next 12-18 months. Then Accenture , Tag will beg to get back on board.
11:48 am on December 19th, 2009
To “FBI” and his/her fans:
“…IMAGE he ATTEMPTED to CREATE FOR HIMSELF - of great athlete, squeaky-clean husband and father, family man, etc.”
He is a great athlete, and a family man who has his share of marital problems. The only image he actually portrayed was/is of a great golfer. Anything else, the public judged, and conjured up.
“…skanky crap that he has put everyone thru, and mostly his wife and kids…”
I’m sorry he’s putting you through soooo much anguish and heartache. So sorry. Ok, put down that tabloid.
(btw, correction “skanky crap he put his wife and kids thru”)
Get a life, and then maybe you’ll be able to empathise.
If he was a serial killer or pedophile, then that would be of great concern to the public. But this (while disturbing to hear) is a personal matter that should be left to him and his wife ONLY! Well, and the courts.
2:36 pm on December 19th, 2009
hey anonymous dick weed: If Tiger is such a loser what are you? If being a loser involves being an incredible billionaire athlete desired by many women, then I wanna be a loser too. What have you accomplished? That’s what I thought fuck bag. That’s why you go anonymous..
2:56 pm on December 19th, 2009
I am a religious zealot and somewhat of a bigot.
I have always believed Tiger Woods, despite his skills, should not be playing golf with the likes of Phil Mickleson and Ernie Els. All his earnings and possessions gained from golf are undeserved, this includes his Swedish wife. Like so many others I had these reasons to resent Tiger Woods so this incident with his extramarital affairs finally gives me the perfect platform to publicly lash out at him. So I am taking full advantage of the opportunity to express my righteous indignation and damn him. Let’s take away everything he has and put him where he belongs - off the course. That would make me so happy. God Bless.

Well said Anonymous Hater … the aldulterous ways of Tiger Woods indeed have absolutely “no bearing” on our own personal lives and is positively “none” of our business, as the Tiger Lovers keep reminding us. We know that. But as you’ve pointed out, what these recent revelations have done, is to confirm what so many of us had already come to realize well before … that Tiger Wood’s “greatness” as a golfer, is in sharp contrast to his “lack of greatness” as a person. Even the Tiger Lovers know in their hearts, that it’s wrong to spit all over the sacred ground that is Augusta … or to constantly stand in the sight lines of a playing partner, or to curse in the presence of young children, or to be unwilling to conclude interviews with a simple “you’re welcome” .. etc .. etc .. etc. I would submit that that is the reason why this man has managed to garner so much resentment. He may very well end up breaking all the records in the end … but his utter lack of basic decency, will ultimately prevent him from ever being held in the same light, as the true greats of the game.

Hey Hater you make no sense to take away his EARNED livelihood to continue on as the world’s greatest golfer……I am so glad you are that self rightous to live in your perfect world!

give credit where credit is due…to img sports management for making tiger look like the perfect family man….not since the war of the worlds radio broadcast back in the 30’s has the public been so completely fooled.
maybe that is why people on this site are so mad at tiger

Anonymous,
That’s my point, haters, zealots and bigots don’t have to make sense.

‘Mark’ who classified HIMSELF as a ‘loser’ who longs to be rich and screw woman - sounds like a frustrated, foul mouthed 16 year old ….. those of us who earn high six figure incomes, respect our mates and others, and make an effort to live healthy, positive lives without crapping on everyone else and sending out negative messages, are sure as hell happier than YOU !

Re; ‘Tony’ at 11:48 on Dec. 19th. Looks like he missed the entire point and has the brains of a celery stick with his reply to “FBI”’s comment on Dec. 18th at 8:59. FBI hit it right on the head and ‘Tony’ sounds like a disoriented muppet …
7:44 pm on December 20th, 2009
To “LaFontaine”:
Nope didn’t miss it numbskull, just disagree with most of it. I don’t know Tiger personally, and I’m guessing “FBI” doesn’t either. So how can we truly know why he did what he did? Honestly, FBI sounds like some hIgh-and-mighty, judgemental, jealous, envious, tabloid writer.
Looks like you missed my point, and have the brains of a virgin (sheep), BC-wearing, momma’s boy, who can’t even prove reasoning for his own conclusion.

You hit the nail on the head Clooney, I also noticed that incident at the ATT, and what about the kids the most inicent and the most hurt, you can tell in this culture and society who is the most inicent by how much of a victim they are and Elin is also very much a victim I am sure she wants the world to stop so she can get off. Elin is a dream girl to most of us men, and look what TW does to her and the kids thats right the kids. He should have spent the time with the kids instead of with the stupid girls. Don’t be ashamed Elin for you did nothing wrong, but make a poor choice of men.

For all the lawyers in here saying what Tiger did (adultery) is not a crime– Look up the law; some states still consider it illegal!!
10:52 am on December 21st, 2009
He did NOT earn the majority of his money off of golf earnings. He earned it off a “squeaky clean” image and endorsements. 80-90% of all his money is from this, not golf. When his fraud is exposed, it is time for him to apologize in public since he screwed the public on a lie.
TIGER WOODS IS A DOUCHE BAG!
11:00 am on December 21st, 2009
Hey “S” - “What Vick did was criminal, Woods’ infidelity is immoral, not a criminal act. You cannot compare the two.”
Really? Really? Tiger paid for sex. Um, criminal. Immoral too, but criminal. Quite comparable!
11:16 am on December 21st, 2009
Well, he said it’s like a marriage. He didn’t tell his real wife about the affairs, so it would make sense he didn’t tell his golf wife either.
11:38 am on December 21st, 2009
Adultry and dgofighting are both criminal acts you idiot…society just places a different emphasis on each of the two. It’s people like you (S) and your skewed idea of what’s right & wrong that frustrate Americans that have loyalty, integrity, and dedication.

One Questions, who does tiger need to appoligize to. Where any of you married to the man? Did he cheat on you? How dare any of you to be judgemental of this man. The entire affair is entirely between him and his wife, that’s all. Tiger doesn’t owe the public a darn thing, especially not a apology. All self rightous, judgemental so and so, should get off your high horses. i wonder how many you have something in your closet, that you’ve done, that you don’t want anyone to know about. The Big difference is, nobody would care. My thing is nobody could truely beat the man on the golf course, so now you beat him down in the media. How dare the black man, become something so great in his life. My, my, my, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Hey Bryan…here is a thought. Why don’t you learn how to write intelligently before you start shooting off at the mouth…
11:48 am on December 21st, 2009
Tiger doesn’t need to apologize to non of you!! He owes an apologe to his wife and kids and no one else!! You all act like the guy was married to you!! GET OVER IT!! If you all made Tiger your IDOL and you all thought that he walked on water then your IDIOTS!! No one in this world is PERFECT and most of , if not all of these atheles have had an affair or 2 or 3 they just haven’t been CAUGHT!! Tiger didn’t kill anyone and you all act like he did!!
11:57 am on December 21st, 2009
Tiger did apologize already you idiot. See the statements he has issued since the car crash.
1:53 pm on December 21st, 2009
every time i here ,put it in the hole i wil forever think about tiger,hey tiger you the chump.err man err coward err your something.
1:55 pm on December 21st, 2009
Look, what Woods did isn’t a big deal. It’s his personal life and he is intitled to do what he wants granted it’s within the law. As for being a professional that was completed wiped away after seeing how he handled this whole scandle. He’s acting like a little kid trying to hide and think this problem will go away by itself. Look Tiger be a man and not a little pussycat. Fess up to what you did and in 3 months most people will forget. You just better pray that someone else has a bigger scandle so your’s gets out of the public eye faster.
2:04 pm on December 21st, 2009
if woods would just live off of his pga winnings, no problem with doing the hos. the problem stems from his acceptance of large sums of money for his image and being a role model to young kids. he does owe them some responsibility for his actions. the only ones i feel sorry for are his kids …. having to grow up with this being brought up to them everyday for the rest of their lives. his wife’s laywers will make sure she gets her money, so no sympathy there. maybe woods and john daly will have a casablanca moment …. this is the begininng of a beautiful friendship.

HE IS WORST THAN VICK…HE PASSING AROUND BODY FLUIDS
3:36 pm on December 21st, 2009
Woods is a scumbag that has left a wife and his kids devastated. I think what Tiger has done is one of the worst things a husband could do to a wife and especially to his kids. He deserves to be left isolated away from his wife and kids so he cannot hurt them any more.
3:43 pm on December 21st, 2009
I don’t care who he slept with and you are all right, it is none of our business. However, he hung Fuzzy Thurston out to dry when one comment from him could have put an end to a joke. Maybe tasteless, but a joke. His adultry says a lot about his character but if the stories about asking for comp food and never tipping service personnel are true, he does not have bad character, just no character at all. If he didn’t play golf there would be a bounty on him. Spoiled, arrogant and chep to boot

Deeze2009 and Hallesy, FBI and Belo, Haki and Clooney, Blomfeldt and LaFontaine your comments make so much sense, are based on REALITY and knowing simple things like RIGHT from WRONG. Things that most Americans appear to have forgotten … Anyway you slice it, a man (whether he is a Pro-Golfer or Santa Claus) who cheats, lies, betrays, manipulates, sneaks, embarasses and humiliates his wife and children and leaves them open to venereal diseases from 9 to 14 whores and prostitutes (prostitution is STILL illegal in appox. 48 states, remember ???) is NO MAN in my book. If you’re THAT unhappy with your beautiful, intelligent wife and 2 kids, then get a DIVORCE; much smarter idea than destroying your wife and kids, losing millions, ruining your reputation, and having your sponsors drop you like flies, since afterall, most huge popular corporations DON’T WANT a lying, cheating, zero-integrity, phony-baloney-image adulterer representing THEIR products. FBI was right; why not just get Lucifer the Devil; he’s just as good at “convincing people” of things too… Crapping all over your family will NEVER be ‘acceptable’ no matter how great of a golfer you are.
6:51 pm on December 21st, 2009
Have to agree with Deezel2009, Bryan’s comment appears to be a few cards short of a full deck. Don’t know how old this kid is, but apparently still can’t differentiate RIGHT from WRONG. He erroneously states that “he doesn’t owe the public a damn thing”. Well guess what soup-for-brains: When ‘that public’ swallows your lying-phonied-up image of ‘integrity, honesty, squeaky clean good husband and father’ that YOU yourself have created with your phony answers at interviews, and assorted other lies, and YOU are receiving 60 to 70 MILLION from ‘that public’ who is duped into thinking your such a man of good character, the all-american-guy that they are spending their hard-earned money on YOUR endorsements that you are raking in the 60 to 70 million from, YOU DO owe them an apology. Frauds, phonies, adulterers and conmen, will NEVER be in style.

DuMouchelle….why do you care? Really you ranting and raving makes you look a loonie. Capitalizing words looks fooling when you don’t use the correct words to state your case other than trying to show you are smarter than the rest of us. He really owes us nothing dude unless you personally paid for his salary. Get a life and move one because no one cares what you think. Ass….
10:39 pm on December 22nd, 2009
All of you who judge, I hope you never have one day of indiscretion because people who live in glass houses have boulders thrown at them. This country has become a bunch of self-righteous creeps with the right wing Repulicans preaching conservatism but yet have very liberal penis’. This is what you should be afraid of…not what Tiger is doing. What happens to his life in a personal one, but what these elected officials do can affect every aspect of your life….move on and worry whether or not you have healthcare or a job! Bunch of hateful people……
