When news and later confirmation of Tiger Woods' personal life leaked out, I wondered many things. First, when did he have time to do all this and have NO ONE know about it (at least media wise), second, why was he so stupid about it, and third, why did he even get married in the first place?
Tiger Woods is the #1 golfer in the world. He may be the best golfer to have ever walked the earth, only time will tell. I know quiet, well-mannered golfers usually don't have a paparazzi parade outside their house or the club when they go from point A to point B, but they're still millionaires and they're still human. They have the same desires and dislikes as we do. So how is it, if Tiger was chasin' all this tail in his spare time, was not spotted or questioned by the media that he's hangin' out with all these women at clubs and bars? I mean seriously! I know if I saw him somewhere, I'd think "shit I just saw Tiger Woods! Who was that hot ass woman that's not his wife with him???"
Couldn't you say his face might be one of the most recognizable faces in the world? Definitely in the US, people who don't care about golf still know who he is. People in Europe who care about golf know who he is... he's the face of many companies that sponsor him. How did he go around these public places with very few people to recognize him? Or at least report about the incidents? Maybe he paid everyone? Is that even possible?
The string of women who come out and say they were one of the mistresses. Are they attention whores or are they telling the truth? Unless they have some type of proof, I would normally just dismiss it. Why wouldn't anyone tell their story for millions of dollars from a tabloid? These all just don't seem to add up - what was it about Woods that would get these women to lie about it or not talk about it to the media until now? What was holding them back?
Is there some kind of "gangsta" version of Tiger we don't know about? "You tell anyone about us and I will backspin your ass with my lob wedge!" There are sooo many questions I have for him!
But I think we need to let this story die down. The man is entitled to do what he wants. I'm not condoning cheating, in fact I hate it, but it's his decision. Just like it was his decision to get married - which I have no idea why you would do that if you're the BEST at what you do, have BILLIONS of dollars, and are young and in shape. I would live the rock star life, but again, I'm not Tiger Woods.
Any sponsor who decides to drop him because of this will be sorry whenever Woods comes back. The best way to get people to forgive and forget? Play even better than you did before you left, show them it was stupid to make a business decision based on personal facts.
I'm curious how many employees of Accenture have ever been unfaithful - the people who made the decision to cut Tiger out of their budget are millionaires too, are they not? Surely some of them could sympathize with Tiger...
