Wasn't it the MSM who pushed him onto the world? The same MSM that is now trying to bring him down?
Where have I seen that before? Oh wait, how about John McCain, the MAVERICK REPUBLICAN who stood up to George W. Bush........
It's funny how the media loves to create an icon as long as it foments readership then tear him down as long as it provides continued readership...........
I find it ironic how so many FReepers are wetting their pants in glee with this incident at the Woods household.
Woods didn't ask for this stardom, all he did was devote his live to becomming the best at his trade and profitting from it. Isn't that what life is all about?
I don't hear Woods spouting his political beliefs in front of every camera like many celebrities do. Nobody here can even give me factual evidence of what political party he supports.
His presence on the PGA tour has benefited the sport of golf in terms of viewership unlike any other golfer including Palmer and Nicklaus.
Yea, Woods is just another slimeball jock who established the Tiger Woods Foundation in order to take a tax write off...............
What is he getting away with? Anyone can say “on advice of my lawyer I have nothing more to say “
He gave the cops all of the info they are required to provide.
He didn’t hurt my tree. I don’t care.
The other woman recently had some similar trouble. She fabricated an affair with actor David Boreanaz. She even fabricated text messages. So I am wondering if she hired allred because Tiger is ready to sue her.
I would suggest YOU look at who created the controversy and kept it alive? It certainly wasn't Woods.........
Now who the hell here is really gonna believe that????????
I believe a neighbor called 911 after hearing the accident and seeing the results.
Tiger was the bad guy in that incident. Fuzzy was being Fuzzy. Woods is a spoiled brat. The PC media loved every minute of it.
Why? The Woods supporters are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until all the TRUE facts come out and all the folks envious of his wealth and stardom will never ever believe the real facts when they DO come out........
It's a lose lose situation either way counselor, you should know that.
Considering that media trap, it's best to keep his mouth shut and let your brothers do the talking for him............
That happened to a neighbor of ours years ago ~ a real redheaded firecracker and her alleycat husband ~ always in a tiff. If all she'd done was bash him with a golf club, and if all he'd done was run over a fireplug, it would have been considered good!
must be hard for Phil Musnick to walk around with that stick up his butt.
Either you don't read the news or you're just plain stupid. WOODS DID NOT CALL 911, A NEIGHBOR DID......Sheesh!
The comments around here are just getting stupider and stupider........
Do you know why some people can't stand Woods? It's not his race, his money or his success. It's his attitude. Throw clubs, swear like a sailor and it's A-OK if you're Tiger.
The rest of us learned golf etiquette when we were 12.
Zoeller made a silly comment on TV. The media had a hissy fit. Woods had nothing to do with it.
Woods acted as offended as Jesse Jackson at a Palin book signing.
On both the first tee and coming off the 18th green, Zoeller and Woods shook hands with a smile, then Zoeller patted Woods on the shoulder. But during the round, they seldom spoke or walked down a fairway together.
When Woods's caddie, Mike (Fluff) Cowan, bummed a cigarette from Zoeller on the second tee, it was suggested to a Woods confidant that Zoeller and Cowan were bonding. But the confidant muttered, ''That'll be the only bonding.
A REAL man wouldn’t have allowed this incident to spin? A REAL man would put his ego aside and let the tournament focus on golf.
I would be so terribly embarrassed if my domestic disputes became public. These things happen and if you’re Tiger Woods the whole world can make fun of you.
That is simply not true. Do a web search. As to your statement about golf etiquette, the great Bobby Jones said, “Some emotions cannot be endured with a golf club in your hands.”
IF the rumors are true, he is not the first person to cheat on his spouse. I would guess a fair number of Freepers have done the same. The Woods family is not the first family to have a free for all after a holiday. Neither Woods is the first to smash something (if rumors are true) in a fit of anger.
None of the above justifies whatever went on..it is just not that big of a story.
How many times have we read “Never talk to the cops unless you have a lawyer.” BOR just described it as ‘evading a police investigation.’
I am more concerned with how & why the FHP became involved in this. It is a private, gated community in a town with it’s own police force. If this happened in my neighbrhood, the Sheriff would show up. I would be hard pressed to imagine why the State Patrol would appear.
If they saw a report and decided to become involved just because it was Tiger Woods, they are responsible for driving this story. I am not sure about Florida Law. If there is a good reason maybe someone can enlighten me.
Did you expect them to kiss?
I just think that they are going to cook their golden goose. Tiger has enough money that he doesn’t need to golf but if golf loses him they lose millions of viewers.
He also earns more than huge amounts for the companies that hire him or they wouldn’t spend that kind of money on him.
For instance, name another golfer that anyone cares about right now. I just asked my husband because I don’t follow golf, he said Phil Mickelson. I can guarantee you that Phil isn’t going to sell any Wheaties and very few Titelists, Tiger sells. John Daly sells because he’s the bad boy who has been dragged through the mud and won’t go away and macho men love him.
