Oh Tiger

It only seems fitting to discuss what everyone and their mother is discussing right now: Tiger. But what to say that hasn't already been said is another thing entirely.

His apology seems unusual, the reactions from professionals and friends are mixed (I heard reports of the golfer who introduced Tiger to Elin say he wishes she used a driver instead of 3-iron, implying he thinks she beat him with a golf club on Friday morning). I've heard reports about multiple women coming forward saying they've had affairs with him. Where are all these women coming from and why? You aren't going to get famous off of this--there's too many of you now! The first one, maybe two, sure, they'll have their fifteen minutes. Any other woman claiming to have had sex with Tiger Woods is only fooling themselves thinking anything good is coming. Where will the rumors end?

What I'd really like to hear is never going to be said, but I'd like to know why. Why would Tiger cheat on a beautiful blonde woman with some skanky bar and night club brunettes. No, not all women who work in bars or night clubs are skanky. But the ones that sleep with celebrities and tell about it for fame and money certainly are. The first girl denying the allegations (and now potentially coming forward about them, press conference today with her lawyer will make a statement), and then this other girl selling text messages and a voicemail from Tiger for $150,000. Why Tiger? Why? Your wife is hot!

The more this stories unfolds the worse it will be for Tiger, Elin, and golf. The golden child, he who does no wrong and has brought golf back into the mainstream of sports media, just may have cost himself the whole show. Sure, he'll be a great golfer still. And whether Elin stays with him or doesn't, things will never be the same for TW again.
