I don't know if the general public are going to be sympathetic to Tiger's present, apparently self-inflicted predicament. It is difficult to sympatise with someone who has everything in the world that the ordinary guy in the steet craves, and the throws it all away by some stupid action. He is tall, athletic, handsome, incredibly talented, has a beautiful wife and two lovely children, a wonderful home and all the money he could ever wish for, but that apparently is not good enough for him. I can't see him ever regaining the respect of the golfing world from now on.
 
no we should not he had everything a man cud wish 4,but he thru it all away,as far as im concerned hes history,however we still avnt heard his story that shud be interesting,cant wait even though i dont think all the truth will come out.
 
Why should I feel sorry for the billionaire TW? If he wanted to just play the field, why marry in the first place? He is younger than me, better looking than me, richer than me (by about a billion dollars), better at golf than me (only just). He is a prat. I hope Elin gets a decent divorce settlement. She should employ the lawyer Ray Parlours wife employd.
 
No we should not. You make your bed and you lie in it.

Or in his case, you get a domestic servant to make up your bed, wait for your wife to go out then invite two or three local slappers around to see if any of them can suck a golf ball through a length of garden hose!

Surprised to read that some of you think he's good looking though. I think he looks like an abused tomcat. I mentioned this to the gorgeous Mrs Snelly and she agreed by saying she wouldn't be able to decide if she should give him a good seeing to or just a saucer of milk!
 
It's a sad state of affairs (no pun intended).

Maybe he should have got all this out of his system before settling down.

I don't feel sorry for him, and in many ways I like him more now. I wish him all the best in sorting this mess out and look forward to seeing him score on the course, not elsewhere!!

Blimey... not much middle ground there! Even I'd take those kinda odds... send her to my house :p
 
Personally I don’t give two figs. As far as I’m concerned it will give us something to talk about until the new season gets going. It wouldn’t surprise me if Tiger came out of hiding and gave everyone a good hiding then we would all realise that he’s just a really good golfer.


I don’t know if TW was the guy that gave out the clean cut image in the first place or was it the media, or even us. After all he curses, stomps around, throws clubs, bangs them on the ground, walks around with a sour face and looks as if he has all the weight of the world on his shoulders. Normal really.

Wait a sekonda, he has got all the weight of the world on his shoulders.
 
I don't like what he's done one jot and I am really disappointed in him.

I do have a tiny wee bit sympathy for him from the perspective that he's perhaps a troubled and fundamentally unhappy soul and a lot of it stems from having no real childhood, being on tv from the age of 2, overbearing parents who forced him to become famous and ultra-competitive and to hit golf balls all day long, no normal teenage life etc.

Chasing after and banging countless cheap women is some kind of cry for help, there are deep-seated psychological issues rooted in there somewhere.

He was perhaps bound to succumb of some kind of vice living with the pressure he does. I reckon he subconciously wanted to get caught so he could somehow change things for himself...sounds mad I know but leaving voicemails and text messages on his 'companions' phones is like a paper trail for the media.

Not forgiving him or condoning the terrible things he's done to his family but he's not in full control of the Tiger Woods machine maybe.

There is a fair bit more to come out from this story yet I think.

You'll be alright until she claps eyes on you.
Then it's "break out the semi-skimmed"

I don't see him in any different light,not one to judge what is wrong and right and frankly I couldn't give 2 hoots,he is still a wonderful talent and 1 of only a handful of guys on tour that I would gladly pay to watch play golf.

As for the bolded part of Birdiemans post.....Can't agree....I am sure Dano and IM02 didn't think this a few years back when I did my fair share of this....or did you fellas??!! :o :D :D

Dodger, nothing wrong with that but I'm guessing you weren't married with 2 kids at the time. That's what I meant, there is a huge difference.
 
I see and have read all ur views on here, I didn't know you lot were all SAINTS on this forum.....Give the guy a break........most of you on here given half the chance would do the same as Tiger did.............now get over yourselves and leave him alone.



I bet there's another 20 ladies to come out and tell their stories...........
 
To be honest, Tiger Woods' personal life, and that of any other "Celebrity" is of no interest to me. What he does in public is. I watch him because he is a fantastic sportsman, no more and no less. Why is it we are obsessed with other folks private lives? We live in a voyeuristic society fuelled by the media through things like Hello magazine, Big Brother, I'm a Celeb etc.
We know more about third rate celebs than our next door neighbours.
So to answer your question, I couldn't give a to$$.
If you play with fire....

So if I wasn't married it was fine but if I did it while I was it was a cry for help and meant there was some deep rooted physcological issues???

Complete and utter bollocks.

As Robobum says that moral high ground is getting rather crowded.
 
I think he may well have gone up in some peoples estimations! :eek:

Proves the guy is human after all. Crikey, next he'll be going out and getting $hit faced. He'll be one of the lads then.

He has portrayed this clean cut role model figure for most of his professional life. He plays golf with a face like a slapped arse most of the time. Due, I'm sure to the concentration and focus he puts into the game. He plays to win, nothing less.
We all know he's minted, he does too.

As for playing away. It's a risky business, especially for someone as famous and well known as Tiger Woods. Not really much chance of getting away with it was there?

Call for help? Possibly. Rebelling against his status? Maybe.
Possibly a cultural thing. I know many peole from the West Indies, Caribbean countries who are married, yet still play away from home, often fathering children to "a bit of stuff" they had a fling with.
Not meaning this in a racist way, but to some people, that's the way it is in certain cultures, maybe Tiger's too.

In short, he played away, got caught. Incurred the wrath of his missus which may cost him his marriage, his kids, and a whole heap of dosh! :rolleyes:
