Tiger Woods And Indian Media

Tiger woods is big brand and there is no doubt about it. Biggest sports brand and one of most followed celebrity in the world. After his extra Martial affair came out of closet tiger woods sold like hot cakes in the media.

Every 12 hours a new story about another lady coming out with 'I too had affair' came up in media. It was big news and big business for media. One of Online Giant admitted that it was bigger opportunity to make money ,bigger than sad demise of Michael Jackson. We can't place eye catching ads close to obituary said the spokesperson.

Fallen hero always is news , that too if it has to do with infidelity!!!!!!!. Now tiger woods is going to have press conference breaking his silence.

One of good India news channel ,the one which I follow on twitter has hour long program aired daily which discusses the most important news for entire hours. It expert panel discussion with two people having entirely opposite views , while one having neutral view. Anchors roles is to facilitate the discussion. It is one of award winning show.

Today in twitter they asked ='Tiger woods to break his silence , please write in'. Now what should an ordinary Indian write about it. I replied -'What can I write about it?. He didn't become silent by asking me'.

Yes tiger woods sells but do we need one hour long discussion in country which is miles and miles away from wood's country. In country which is obsessed with own sports icons and in a huge country where naxals, corruption , politics , prise rises are issues which are to be dealt with?

But media can't be blamed. Infidelity sells and so does celebs. After all media is business and they want to make money out of everything that can be sold , irrespective of what difference does that news make to common people's life.

Recently a question was asked to one of leading journalist of India about his interview of rakhi sawant which is being aired thrice a month on channel ,he is associated with. He promptly replied that after interviewing 500 , whose who people of India and International dignitaries , Rakhi Sawant's interview received one of most TRPs for him!!!!!!!

Now this person has interviewed Indian Ministers , Army Chief , Scientists and every one who directly make difference to people's life but Rakhi Sawant is big brand then this people says the TRP!!!!!!!!!!!

Media is like restaurant , they would serve the food which customers want.

Tiger Woods And Indian Media

The Real Tiger Woods Golf Swing

A lot of people have been asking for a long time, "why is Tiger (Woods) so good in his game? How can Tiger be consistent on every Tour? What does Tiger do differently with his game to make him the success that he is at golf?" and the list of questions go on and on. Some people theorize that it's all about his putting game, while some people say that it's the power of his drives, some people say he has got the strength of a bull and some opine that it is his golf swing.

These people may be right, but then again they may not. Depends on how you look at it and what kind of golfer you are that would dictate what you will say. But in reality most of us already know the answer but tend to say different things because we can't really admit to the fact that Tiger Woods has the best darn swing in the world today.

The reason why I say it's the best is because of his natural ability to use his dexterity, flexibility and strength in one fluid motion to create his tour winning golf swings. Knowing this let's break down the famous Tiger Woods swing in to 4 key elements of the full swing motion. These are 4 key elements of Tiger Woods?wing:

1. At the very start of his swing. Woods uses his amazing flexibility to reach far back (notice that when he extends his swing backwards it reaches farther than most golfers on any tour, this is one of the main advantages of Woods ), extending his range of motion at the same time as keeping his rotary torso in a straight line over his right leg.

2. Once he releases the swing forward, Woods has already built up maximum clubhead velocity. This is achieved by rapidly turning his torso and pressing his right leg forward toward the swing. Throughout the full motion of the swing, Woods wastes little or no energy by keeping a straight line above the ball. Aside from the velocity and the force from his shoulders and arms, he uses his upper body strength in the swing as he pushes forward.

3. Woods drives the clubhead through the ball (maximum clubhead-ball contact is needed so the chance of slicing or chopping the ball is avoided), using the force from his hips, shoulders and wrists he concentrates impact force and makes a very high initial ball speed. Within 2 feet off the tee and the club the ball is now traveling at speeds that reaches around 180 miles per hour ?is ball speed is up to 20 mph faster than the average tour pro.

4. One of the most over looked elements and factors in the golf swing is a good follow through. A follow through is the after impact motion that makes a full motion achieve fluidity. By this time, Woods allows the club head's momentum to lengthen his follow-through (this means that the force of the swing is kept at the maximum level from the start of the swing, any decrease in speed will make the follow through rough) far around his back, completing a long and smooth clubhead rotation.

And that is the secret to the championship winning golf swing of Tiger Woods.

Inside story of Tiger Woods' Car Crash---Text Message to Mistress

A new inside story of Tiger Woods' car crash has been unveiled. Three Mistress, who does stir this hanky panky and provoke the golf stars enven all over the world. to pay attention to the World Number one

Tigers Woods is facing fresh claims of extramarital hanky panky as reports emerged today of how his wife caught him texting his alleged mistress, sparking the violent row that led to his car crash.

Swedish swimwear model Elin Nordegren allegedly grabbed Woods' phone and called nightclub hostess Rachel Uchitel to confront her, celebrity website TMZ reports.

According to media reports, a furious Ms Nordegren began arguing with Woods and broke the star's phone.

She is then alleged to have chased him with a golf club, smashing up the foyer of the couple's Florida mansion, according to reports.

It is rumoured Ms Uchitel and her representatives were in discussions with Woods and his management as recently as yesterday about a possible "cash-for-silence" deal.

Ms Uchitel, who has hired celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred to represent her, yesterday cancelled a press conference where she was expected to

make a statement about her relationship with Woods.

Ms Uchitel, 33, who stayed at Crown Casino at the same time as Woods during his Melbourne visit, maintains she did not have an affair with the world's richest sportsman.

Woods now faces one of the biggest celebrity divorce payouts in history. Us Weekly said sources put the prenuptial agreement signed in 2004

by Woods and Ms Nordegren - who met Woods while she working as a nanny for Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik - at $US300 million

Following the allegations that Woods had affairs with Ms Uchitel and LA cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs(Photo enclosed), a third woman has been linked to the star.

Las Vegas nightclub promoter Kalika Moquin is believed to have met Woods in 2006, but she is only admitting to a "professional" relationship

with the golfer.

"Sometimes I'll deal with celebrities in my job on a day-to-day basis just to touch base with people," the  27-year-old told Us Magazine.

"But it's completely untrue that there's anything more than a professional 'How are you doing? Are you enjoying your time in Vegas?'

conversation (with Tiger)."

The fallout from the controversy is is spreading, with John Ziegler, the pastor of the "First Church of Tiger Woods"

- announcing that he will dissolve the organisation because of the golfer's "personal sins."

The church, whose home page has now been rechristened "The Damnation of Tiger Woods,"was launched by radio host Ziegler in 1996 to

"celebrate the emergence of the "true messiah'."

 

Tiger Woods' affairs records with three women

the Three Misstresses of Tiger Woods

New rumors and reports continue to emerge in the wake of Tiger Woods' apology for unspecified "transgressions." A batch of new pictures of cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs has appeared online, and her ex-boyfriend says he and Grubbs made a sex tape.let us see the three mistresses of Tiger Woods.

Another alleged mistress, Rachel Uchitel planed to make a statement about her relationship with Tiger Woods through her attorney at a press conference.then cancelled the conference?it is said that Uchitel has five months-worth of sext messages with Woods that she wants to turn into "a fortune."  Apparently $1 million qualifies.

A Jaimee Grubbs sex tape would be even hotter...much hotter than the Tiger Woods affairs text messages and the Tiger Woods voicemail presented to Us Magazine by Ms. Jaimee Grubbs.

An ex-boyfriend of Jaimee Grubbs has come forward and claimed that the two made a sex tape and took several nude photographs while they were together. Before you zoom over to Google to try to find the Jaimee Grubbs sex tape video, take a deep breath and read my next sentence: the couple destroyed the tape. Yes, you heard me right - Jaimee Grubbs' ex boyfriend destroyed the Jaimee Grubbs sex tape video. Had he known how high profile this Las Vegas cocktail waitress would become, I have a suspicion that he would have kept the video.

Following?the third woman it is said that had slept with Tiger Woods come to public. Kalika Moquin?the insider tells Life & Style, "They've hooked up a bunch of times. Tiger told Kalika that married life isn't all it's built up to be. He said he wasn't happy in his marriage or his home life and that there was just so much pressure on him."
Whether there are the fourth woman linked to Tiger Woods?we are waiting.

Tiger Woods will Make a Special Christmas

Since Tiger Woods’ alleged affair events get hot, more and more pranksters come up with this unique ideas of spreading the Tiger Woods Christmas picture, Christmas card, and even Christmas song.

 

If you happened to search it in the internet, someone made fun of the Woods situation and controversy and used the image editor and photoshopped the picture just to create a fake Christmas Card of Tiger Woods and Elin Woods. Now it was already circulated in the internet.

 

The Tiger Woods Christmas card show the couple standing together, looking blissfully in harmony and though Tiger Woods’ face is covered with a lot of stiches and on of his eyes is swollen cut, his smile reveals some broken teeth and gaps in between them. Yes it is quite difficult to imagine who had inflicted those injuries on him as Elin Norgreden, who is standing beside him close enough to kiss him with a hockey stick on her hand. Not only this, some website also have come up with Tiger Woods Christmas songs in a remix way.

 

The star golfer seems to be in more serious trouble when these alleged misstress came out after his car accident last week. Reports are saying that if Tiger Woods fail to save his marriage, he is compelled to pay $300 million to his wife Elin Norgegren. And if this happens, it would be considered as the most expensive celebrity divorce in history.

Elin Nordegren’s Life

Fun

For decades, two heroic statues, one male and one female, faced each other in a city park, until one day an angel came down from heaven.

"You've been such exemplary statues," he announced to them, "That I'm going to give you a special gift. I'm going to bring you both to life for thirty minutes, in which you can do anything you want." And with a clap of his hands, the angel brought the statues to life.

The two approached each other a bit shyly, but soon dashed for the bushes, from which shortly emerged a good deal of giggling, laughter, and shaking of branches. Fifteen minutes later, the two statues emerged from the bushes, wide grins on their faces.

"You still have fifteen more minutes," said the angel, winking at them.

Grinning even more widely the female statue turned to the male statue and said, "Great! Only this time you hold the pigeon down and I'll crap on it's head."

 

Tiger Woods Ambulance

Tiger Woods' mother-in-law was rushed early this morning from the golfer's home to the same Florida hospital where he was taken after a car accident two weeks ago, according to an official at Health Central Hospital in Ocoee. Ambulance transports a woman from Tiger Woods' house to nearby hospital, as shown in the Tiger Woods Ambulance video.

Barbro Holmberg, 57, a Swedish politician, was taken to the hospital by paramedics called to the golfer's Windermere home shortly after 2:36 a.m. Holmberg complained of stomach pains and her condition is not life threatening, hospital spokesman Dan Yates said.

"She's in a wing that helps protect her privacy," he said, adding that she's in stable condition.

Holmberg and her other daughter, Josefin Nordegren, twin sister of Tiger Woods' wife Elin, reportedly came to the United States and were staying at the Woods' home in the wake of a host of allegations that the world's No. 1 golfer had been engaged in a series of extramarital affairs with as many as nine women.

The Tiger Woods ambulance was followed by a black Cadillac Escalade, similar to the car Woods was driving when he crashed into a fire hydrant the Friday after Thanksgiving, setting of a firestorm of tabloid reports about domestic strife and his many apparent mistresses.

Witnesses said the Escalade was driven by an attractive blonde who bore similarities to Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren.

The 911 call comes after recent reports that Nordegren may have moved out and purchased a home in Sweden.

Swedish newspapers today reported Woods' wife bought a $2 million home dubbed Faglaro Mansion on a small, secluded island reachable by ferry from Stockholm.

Holmberg is a Social Democrat politician and the former minister for migration and asylum policy.

Tiger Woods Indefinite Break From Golf!

<p>I'm sure you've seen it all over T.V. by now. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/news-and-society-articles/tiger-woods-indefinite-break-from-golf-1572038.html">Tiger Woods indefinite break</a> from golf, that is. But is it really happening?</p>
<p>Well, Tiger has officially came out and made that statement that he will be taking an indefinite break, but let's really think about it for a minute.</p>
<p>There have been several big-name professionals that have made the same claim in the past before Tiger.</p>
<p>Think of Brett Favre and Michael Jordan.</p>
<p>They both came out and made public statements that they were retiring. But they also flip-flopped on the decision several times. They came and went out of their respective sports a few times before making a permanent move.</p>
<p>So, do you really think the great Tiger Woods will be a different situation?</p>
<p>He's been under a lot of pressure lately with golf and the recent news of his affair. So, he's probably just making this claim to get the heat off of his back that has been stirred up since he's been caught in his cheating spree.</p>
<p>Do you think Tiger Woods will really retire?</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sharecpa.com/link.php?aid=929&linkid=N416&web=1" title="YES">YES</a></p>
<p>or</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sharecpa.com/link.php?aid=929&linkid=N416&web=1" title="NO">NO</a></p>
<p>Answer by clicking on YES or NO. Answer, submit your email, and get a $1000 gift card!</p>
<p>So, with all that said, I really highly doubt that Tiger Woods will stick to his guns and actually retire. He is probably just stressed out and needs a little break. Don't we all sometimes?</p>
<p>I mean if they really does go on with his "indefinite break" I'd be really surprise. If anything it could just be a publicity stunt. We haven't heard any big, good news related to him lately so maybe he's just trying to mask the bad news with something better.</p>

Jaime Grubbs and Tiger Woods, An Affair to Remember?

Jaime Grubbs and Tiger Woods, an affair to remember?  Many would say no but the sheer magnitude with which this story has grown to is crazy which leads many to believe it will stay on the world conscious for a long time to come!  Many are left wondering why in the world would Tiger Woods risk everything for a cocktail waitress...a successful career in golf, a marriage to a beautiful woman and a family to be proud of.

This little discretion on the part of Jaime Grubbs and Tiger Woods has brought the world of golf to its knees and the world of celebrity gossip to the edge of its seat.  Once regarded the prodigal son of golf, Tiger Woods like the boy Icarus who flew too close to the sun, has now fallen back to earth.  A mere mortal among men...to shame!

The question begs to be asked...Will Tiger ever be able to recover from this farce?  Will he ever golf again?  Will he be able to reconcile with his wife and family?  Only time will tell.  Perhaps Tiger and regain the good graces of the golf gods and more importantly that of his family whom he has no doubt permanently scarred.

As for Jaime Grubbs, her 15 minutes of fame will most likely come to pass and she will no doubt fade into obscurity leaving only this affair in the footnote of sports and celebrity gossip.  Jaime Grubbs and Tiger Woods will forever be remembered as the scandal that threatened to bring down a legend of golf, now time will tell if this prediction comes true.

AT&T won’t support Tiger Woods in 2010

Elin Nordegren will leave Tiger Woods, some advertisement with him had been stopped?some sponsor won’t support him again. Now another big sponsor will give up him.

Telecommunications giant AT&T issued a statement saying, "We are ending our sponsorship agreement with Tiger Woods and wish him well in the future."

Accenture had earlier dropped Woods, and Gillette removed Woods from its advertising while stopping short of ending its sponsorship deal with Woods.

AT&T is the title sponsor of the PGA Tour event hosted by Woods, the AT&T National, which in 2010 takes place July 1-4. But AT&T's tournament sponsorship deal is with the PGA Tour, and the company's decision to end its sponsorship agreement with Woods is something separate from the tournament.

PGA Tour official Ty Votaw said that AT&T's sponsorship deal with the tournament runs through 2014, and that the Tiger Woods Foundation will continue as the primary charity of the tournament at least through the length of that contract. However, since Tiger is on leave from golf, Votaw said, Woods will not serve as tournament host in 2010.

Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods is ready to quit Golf to regain his wife’s trust. Tiger Woods has been going through a difficult phase of his life and he is ready to leave anything rather everything to save his relationship with his woman Elin Nordegren.

Tiger Woods showed his intentions to quit golf to secure his relationship with his wife.

The reports suggested that Elin Nordegren, the model and former nanny has given a very clear ultimatum to the great golfer in very clear words that quit golf or get divorced.

For last few weeks after Tiger’s SUV crash, the scandals were hitting Tiger like rocky rain. Everyday a new lady came up with a sex scandal with evidences, making Tiger Woods life more difficult.

The list of Tiger Woods alleged mistresses pinched Elin Nordegren the most; she was in great anger that caused Woods to lose a tooth. The reports were around that Elin Nordegren was arranging her separate residence. Elin Nordegren also called her mother for the moral and feminine support.

Current reports are emerging that Elin Nordegren still has a soft corner for Woods, she asked him to regain her trust because she don’t want to break up for the sake of her kids. She is taking the precautionary measures to avoid further mistresses in Woods’ life.

One of family friend told that they are on the track to rebuild their relationship but Woods’ has to sacrifice for that. He has to keep Elin Nordegren with him on the world tours for golf, if not he has to quit golf for sometime.

We are anticipating that Woods’ would out of the scene on golf grounds for quite some time as he is going to start the process to regain his trust for Elin Nordegren but no one is sure about more girls being entering in Woods Life.

Gatorade Abandoned Tiger Woods

A representative for the drink Gatorade, sold by PepsiCo Inc., confirmed late Friday that it had ended its relationship with the golfer Tiger Woods, who made a lengthy public apology last week for his infidelities. 

"We no longer see a role for Tiger Woods in our marketing efforts and have ended our relationship," a Gatorade spokeswoman said. "We wish him all the best." 

The spokeswoman said Gatorade would continue its relationship with the Tiger Woods Foundation. 

She declined to say whether his contract was terminated early because of trouble with his public image. 

Gatorade discontinued its Tiger Woods-brand drinks in November, a decision made before Woods' marital problems became known.

At the time, Gatorade stuck by him as a sponsor, but it too relented on Friday, becoming the third major endorsement the golfer has lost. AT&T Inc. and Accenture dropped Woods in the weeks following the tabloid frenzy of cheating allegations. Meanwhile, Nike corporation announced that, Nike is supportive of Tiger. 

"We have been in discussions with Gatorade, and while we are disappointed they have decided to not continue with Tiger in their marketing plans, we appreciate their continued involvement with Tiger through his foundation," Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg of IMG, said in an e-mail. 

The companies that have stuck most closely by Woods, Nike Inc. and Electronic Arts Inc. - which have invested specifically in his athleticism - reiterated their support last week when the golfer made his public apology. 

Others, such as Procter & Gamble Co.'s Gillette and Swiss watch maker Tag Heuer, de-emphasized him in their marketing. 

The CEO of Procter & Gamble said earlier this week that he doesn't know whether Woods will ever appear in another Gillette commercial, saying the company did not need the "distraction" of using him in its advertising.

The Not So Secret Tiger Wood’s Golf Swing

There is a question that is in the minds of most people who play golf and also enjoy watching it even if they do not play it themselves; “Why is Tiger Woods so good at golf? How come he is so consistent? In what way is he different that makes him stand out from the crowd?�? There are these and other questions. It is the considered opinion of some that it is the power of his drives, others feel that it is his end game and yet others say that it is his bullish strength and for some others it is the Tiger’s swing.

The beauty of the situation is that all of them may be right, yet all of them may be wrong also. It all depends on the individual and the kind of golfer that he personally is that is going to mould his opinion. Actually all of us know the exact reason for Tiger’s excellence in golf; it is just that we are not prepared to accept the simple fact the Tiger has the best, near perfect and proper golf swing.

The reason that it is the best is that Tiger has the natural ability to use his nimbleness, his litheness and his strength to execute his swings in one fluid motion and create a memorable line up of successes. Now that we know the reason for Tiger Woods’ success, let us analyse his swing and break it down into it component parts. On analysis, Woods’ swing can be seen to contain four key elements:

1. The main advantage that Tiger Woods has over other players of golf is that he is able to use his supple body to extend his swing far more backwards than most golfers on any tournament can. Thus he manages to extend the range of his motion while maintaining his torso aligned straight over his right leg.

2. Since the backswing extends far to the back, the length of the swing before contact with the ball is longer, and hence the club head gathers more momentum as it comes down during the downswing. This Tiger achieves by swiftly turning his torso with his right leg pressed forward towards the swing. The pivot is fast, more velocity to the club head. The swing is a perfect arc. No wasted movement hence no wasted energy. And in addition to the power from his arms and his shoulders, he uses the strength of his upper body to its maximum advantage.

3. Tiger Woods drives the club head dead centre and flat against the ball. No unnecessary twists, turns of the hip, the iron firmly gripped and perfectly balanced. Every bit of his concentration and his strength is focused on the club head with a total use of the force from his hips, his shoulders and his wrists. At the instant of impact the club head is travelling at a speed of more than nearly 125 miles per hour, 25 mph more than the average tour pro. The strike is so powerful that within 2’ of the tee, the ball is travelling at a velocity of 180 mph.

4. The last element of Tiger’s swing is the follow through. A good follow through keep the club head accelerating even after impact, for that momentary instant that the club head is still in contact with the ball, giving more momentum to the ball. Once the ball leaves the clubface there is nothing you can do. It is the culmination of all your body movements. No snapping of the wrists or any improper movements. The finish of the best, the near perfect and the proper golf swing on any course.

And that, gentlemen, is the swing of Tiger Woods. Nothing secret about it; every golfer knows it and has seen it. The problem is that they cannot replicate it. How did Tiger get this swing? He watched other golfers play, learnt from them and most of all, he practiced. Practice! Practice! Practice!

Elin Woods Saved Tiger Woods' Life From Car Accident

Tiger Woods' wife Elin Woods saved her husband's life from a car accident with a golf club.

The initial media reports that instantly spread around the globe sounded dire: Tiger Woods had been "seriously" hurt in a car accident early Friday and was hospitalized.

It turned out the superstar golfer's injuries, first reported by the Orlando Sentinel, weren't as dreadful as the word "serious" implied in the police report. But as additional details emerged, it appeared Woods certainly suffered more than a fender bender.

Woods, 33, was backing out of his driveway in the Isleworth community near Orlando, Fla., at 2:25 a.m. when he struck a fire hydrant and then hit a neighbor's tree, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

It was almost 12 hours before the police issued an accident report, and it is still unknown why Woods was out driving at that hour and much about the incident remains unclear.

After the first news reports about the accident, Woods' website in the afternoon issued a terse statement saying he was in "good condition," after being treated and released from Health Central Hospital in nearby Ocoee, Fla.

The Associated Press later Friday quoted a local police chief as saying Woods' wife, Elin, used a golf club to smash the back window to get Woods out of his 2009 Cadillac sports utility vehicle after she heard the accident and came outside.

Woods had cuts to his lips, blood in his mouth and was lying in the street, with his wife nearby, and was in and out of consciousness when officers arrived, Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor said. At one point Woods woke up and tried to get up but lost consciousness.

FHP Sgt. Kim Montes said troopers arrived at the Woods' home early Friday evening to talk to the golfer, and that his wife told them Woods was resting and asked them to return this morning, the Orlando Sentinel reported. The troopers agreed to do so.

The FHP's news release said alcohol was not considered a factor in the accident, and that the crash remained under investigation.

The airbags in Woods' SUV did not deploy, according to the FHP, and it was unknown whether Woods was wearing a seat belt.

Saylor said his responding officers did not hear anything about an alleged argument between Woods and his wife, according to AP.

"Right now we believe this is a traffic crash. We don't believe it is a domestic issue," Montes said.

But owing to the authorities' technical language in the case of accidents, the world was stunned with headlines of Woods' "serious" injury that appeared on media websites from Los Angeles to London, aired on television and arrived on fans' Blackberrys and mobile phones.

The news release listed the injuries as "serious" because patients' conditions are always classified that way if they are transported to a hospital, FHP spokesman Jorge Delahoz told the Orlando Sentinel.

The media frenzy the word "serious" ignited was "illustrative not only of Woods' global fame, but of the rapidity with which the media can spread news whether it is entirely accurate or not," said David Carter, executive director of USC's Sports Business Institute.

Woods, of course, is the world's No. 1 golfer. He has won 82 times worldwide and captured 14 major tournaments, and this year he also became the first athlete to reach the $1-billion mark in career earnings through prize money, endorsements and other income, Forbes magazine estimated.

Woods can make or break TV ratings simply by choosing to play in a tournament. He has a net worth of $600 million, according to Forbes.

While authorities "may characterize [the injuries] very technically," today's instant media communication "leads to banner headlines, which makes everybody wonder what the impact could be if, for any reason, he was to miss a series of tournaments," Carter said.

In fact, the accident occurred leading to next week's Chevron World Challenge, an 18-player tournament hosted by Woods at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks.

The four-day tournament starts Thursday, and Woods is scheduled to hold a news conference there Tuesday.

Wood missed last year's tournament, which supports the Tiger Woods Foundation, because he was recovering from surgery on his left knee.

He was scheduled to rejoin the field this year, but Mark Steinberg, Woods' agent, told the Associated Press on Friday that he did not know if Woods still planned to play.

Woods won six times this season. Although he did not win a major tournament, he said he considered the year successful because he wasn't sure how his knee would respond after months of rehabilitation.

Tiger Woods Affair

Tiger Woods Affair

As you may of noticed there has been a lot of talk about tiger woods cheating on his wife.This has caused a huge uproar and his marriage could be a steak if this is true.

The latest news in the Tiger Woods scandal is that nightclub executive Rachel Uchitel called off a press conference scheduled for 11:30 AM PST. TMZ.com reports that the reason is connected to an alleged phone conversation between Rachel Uchitel and Tiger woods and his management staff last night.Tiger woods affair

TMZ implies that the result was a deal to stop talking in exchange for money but that's not been confirmed as of this writing. Still, the simple suggestion of a payoff for silence will sully the already damaged image of The World's Best Golfer. But I believe his call may have had to do with the concern of sponsors like Nike and Cadillac, who are seeing the image of their brands harmed by the Tiger Woods scandal.

Rachel Uchitel is the first women connected to Tiger Woods affair rumors. After denying them, she was about to do what I predicted she was thinking of doing: talking.

Now Tiger wants the chatter to stop. I can't say I blame him but he has little control over this now that it's part of pop-culture.Tiger Woods affair

These revelations could tarnish the squeaky clean image that made Woods rich. He's raked in over a billion dollars, most of it from endorsements. So far his sponsors are sticking with him, but marketing experts say new deals may be a tough sell. Public relations experts say he should face the cameras sooner rather than later.

Elin Nordegren’s response to Tiger Woods

How about Elin Nordegren ? will she choose to divorce from  Tiger Woods with Tiger Woods scandal?

It did not take long after Tiger Woods issued a public apology for unspecified "transgressions" that rumors began to swirl about the financial negotiations between Woods and his wife, Elin Nordegren Woods. First, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Woods was paying his wife "a hefty seven-figure amount" to stay with him. The article also said that a new prenuptial agreement is in the works.

Gerald Posner of the Daily Beast writes that Woods will likely soon pay his wife $5 million and that the prenup could ultimately fetch her $55 million after two years.

Other financial dealings have been rumored as well. One of Woods' alleged mistresses, Rachel Uchitel (PHOTOS), was reportedly scheduled to admit to having an affair with Woods today but it was canceled at the last moment, which coincided with a RadarOnline.com report that Woods' representatives offered Uchitel $1 million to remain silent.

It also remains unclear what will happen with Woods' two other alleged mistresses. Jaimee Grubbs (PHOTOS), who claims to have had a 31-month relationship with Woods, already released text messages and a voicemail purportedly from the golfer. She also may have made a sex tape with an ex-boyfriend.

Kalika Moquin, the other woman linked to Woods, denied rumors of an affair to UsMagazine.com

Tiger Woods Jokes

Here are jokes about Tiger Woods. Enjoy them?

That's just one of many, many jokes making rounds in the aftermath of Tiger Woods' car crash and affair rumors. Some of the jokes are pretty good, others aren't pretty at all. Have you ever noticed how many golf jokes involve violence toward a spouse? There are plenty of those regarding Tiger and Elin, too:

The police asked Tiger's wife how many times she hit him. "I can't remember," Elin said, "just put me down for a 5."

Ping has a new set of irons called Elins. They're you can beat Tiger with.

What does Tiger Woods have in common with a baby seal? They've both been clubbed by a Norwegian. (Of course, Elin is actually Swedish. But poetic license is allowed in jokes.)
There are jokes about the affair rumors:

Did you hear Tiger changed his name to Cheetah?

Tiger's other women aren't misstresses. They're provisionals.

Did you hear Nike's new motto? Just do me.

And jokes about Tiger's car crash started surfacing within minutes of the initial reports of the accident, including these:

Tiger crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. He couldn't decide between a wood and an iron.

What's the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a golf ball 400 yards.

Tiger Woods is so rich that he owns lots of expensive cars. Now he has a hole-in-one.

Tiger has a new movie coming out. It's called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Hydrant.

Tiger Woods' Rumoured Women

Less than two weeks after Tiger Woods' Thanksgiving weekend car crash outside his home, 10 women have been alleged to have had affairs with the married golf legend.

1.) Rachel Uchitel. The club hostess was the first of the women to be linked to Woods after the National Enquirer reported that she traveled to Australia to be with Woods during a golf tournament there. So far, she has denied the affair.

2.) Jamie Grubbs. The 24-year-old reality show contestant and cocktail waitress claims she carried on a 31-month-long affair with Woods until his crash last month. She offered a Woods voicemail to prove it.

3.) Kalika Moquin. The 27-year-old club manager from Las Vegas is reported to have had a brief sexual relationship with Woods. She would neither confirm nor deny the report.

4.) Cori Rist. The 31-year-old swimsuit model reportedly met Woods at a Manhattan club last year before they began a sexual relationship that led to Woods flying her out to various secret locations for hook-ups, and her introducing the golfer to her 7-year-old son.

 

5.) Jamie Jungers. The 26-year-old, who sold her story to a British newspaper, is a former employee of Trashy Girls Lingerie. She said she met Woods in Las Vegas.

 

 6.) Mindy Lawton. The 33-year-old pancake house waitress from Orlando claims she was dumped by Woods in 2007. According to the Post, it was her affair with Woods that was caught on camera by the National Enquirer, when he was snapped dropping her off at her trailer park. The threatening news later led to a Woods Men’s Fitness cover in exchange for the magazine’s silence about the alleged affair, the New York Post reports.

7.) Holly Sampson. The 36-year-old from Los Angeles is a former porn star, who has starred in such films as “OMG, Stop Tickling Me�? and “Flying Solo 2.�? According to the Sun, she has neither confirmed nor denied her affair with Woods.

8.) Unidentified Alleged Mistress No. 8. A former cocktail waitress from Orlando, Fla. does want to reveal her identity yet, according to her attorney Michael O’Quinn. But this she has said: at the time the affair allegedly began, she was 20 years old and met Woods at the Roxy in Orlando, where she was a VIP server.

9.) Unidentified Alleged Mistress No. 9 is reported to be a “sexy�? British TV presenter who was single at the time, but is now married.

10.) Unidentified Alleged Mistress No. 10. is reported in a UK paper to be a “sex-addicted cougar.�? Woods, 33, has apologized to his family, fans and colleagues for his “transgressions.�?

 Below is Tiger Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegrene.

Formerly virtually unknown, swimsuit model/nanny Elin Nordegren's celebrity status went through the roof after news of her relationship with golfing superstar Tiger Woods was made public in 2002. The sexy Swede's hushed marriage to Woods made headlines in October 2004. Although Elin has kept the two children she has with Tiger relatively out of the spotlight and has kept a low profile herself, save for her appearances at golf tournaments, Elin Nordegren made headlines again in late November of 2009 after Tiger Woods had a suspicious car crash leaving the home the couple share in Florida. Isn’t she the most beautiful one among Tiger Woods’ women?

Tiger Woods will Suffer

 
After Tiger Woods confessed his infidelity in his private life and his marriage disturbance, does he can focus all his energy on his golf? It is impossible, according to Colin Montgomerie, European Ryder Cup captain.

 

Montgomerie, eight-time European number one, experienced divorce event in 2006 and could know the pressures for Tiger Woods will affect his performance.
Woods has taken an indefinite break from golf following a media storm that culminated in the world number one publicly admitting being unfaithful to his wife.

 

"It is absolutely impossible to play good golf (with all that going on)," said Montgomerie in an interview with Sky Sports.

 

 
"There was a reason why Tiger didn't win a major last year, the first year for a long time. We now understand possibly the reasons why.

 

"I can only speak for myself and say during a time like that you can just about make it to the next tee if you make a birdie or a par but with a bogey the world collapses around you," added the 46-year-old Briton.

 

Montgomerie said negative thoughts about his own private life were difficult to shrug off when he was going through turmoil.

 

"A round of golf is an emotional roller-coaster anyway," said the Scot. "I think it must have been similar for him.

 

"When you hit a shot and it goes left or right into the woods, immediately thoughts creep in during the long, two to three-minute walk to find the ball.

 

"It (the scandal) will impact on every tournament Tiger plays. Let's hope the tabloid press finish quickly and we get on supporting golf."

 

Montgomerie is one of the few top players to comment on the Woods situation since allegations about the 14-times major winner's private life surfaced after he was involved in a minor car accident outside his home in November.

 

"I think the mystique has gone," said the Ryder Cup skipper. "I think the mysterious nature of the guy has gone. He is suddenly, you hate to say, more normal now. Let's hope golf isn't damaged by that.

 

"There is no question there was an aura about Tiger Woods over this incredible record he has, not just in majors but in other world events.

 

"That wall has been split slightly and there are cracks. It gives us more opportunity to find ways of winning these events now and I am thinking of myself as well as my peers."

 

Montgomerie said golfers everywhere were appreciative of Woods's impact on the sport.

 

"I think it is like Arnold Palmer for the American tour in the past and Seve Ballesteros for us in Europe," he said. "We are playing for the money we are today because of those two players.

 

"With Tiger he became a global ambassador for golf, therefore the whole world of golf benefited from Tiger.

 

"We in Europe have benefited, as Asia has, as Australia has, as South Africa has, as America has. It is a great debt to him that we are playing and sponsorship is as strong as it is in golf right now."

Will Tiger Woods stay this rank?

It will not surprise you that Tiger Wood is No.1 in the Official World Golf Rankings, in recent weeks, there haven't been too many tournaments played, we wondering how long he can keep this. What may surprise you is how long he'll hold this rank.

In his column today, ESPN.com's Jason Sobel notes that "according to those who run the OWGR, if Tiger Woods continues his leave of absence into the summer, he likely won't lose his No. 1 status until June or July." There are six months from now and eight months from Tiger played a tournament last time.

 

Now, we all know that Tiger has put some distance between himself and the competition -- his ranking of 14.13 is nearly double second-place Phil Mickelson's 7.95, it is so high, and taking more than half a year off doesn't pull him down. Sobel thinks that's too much latitude to give a golfer, and I think that is right. It's stupid, like if one conference in college football didn't play a conference championship and so avoided the tough end-of-season test before skating into the bowls.

 

The World Ranking Points for each player are accumulated over a two year "rolling" period with the points awarded for each event maintained for a 13-week period to place additional emphasis on recent performances - ranking points are then reduced in equal decrements for the remaining 91 weeks of the two year Ranking period. Each player is then ranked according to his average points per tournament, which is determined by dividing his total number of points by the tournaments he has played over that two-year period. There is a minimum divisor of 40 tournaments over the two year ranking period and a maximum divisor of a player's last 60 events.

 

Mention of "divisor." That two-year provision seems to be the key point -- the idea is not to penalize a player too much for one brief bad patch. But as Sobel notes, by that standard you'd be including Tiger's two recent layoffs -- knee-induced and hydrant-induced -- and that by the middle of this season, assuming he didn't return, he'd have played only 19 events over the last two years. "Tiger Woods’ average points figure will drop each week he doesn't play and it will take until somewhere between the U.S. Open and Open Championship for his average to drop to where Phil Mickelson's currently is," the OWGR indicated. "If Mickelson plays well enough to maintain his current average and Woods doesn't play, then the No. 1 spot could change hands early July." And that's only if Phil continues to play well.

 

Some people say that Tiger is a wounded right now, that gave other golfers a big chance, and all the other golfers are gathering around, they want to bring him down. And when he was break, I'll bet he falls right on Rory Sabbatini.

 

Tiger Woods is Playing Now?!

Tiger Woods’ Tale --- Tiger Woods Airlines

Tiger Woods' Absence Is Making The Pga Tour Pay

Visit any country club in golf season and you’ll find caddies scrubbing, polishing, and cleaning the clubs that their golfers have abused. Now project that scene onto a far-grander scale and you’ll have some idea as to what’s going on in golf these days.

PGA officials and Tiger Woods’ advisers are toiling over the superstar’s badly scuffed image. They’re trying to figure out how to restore the innocent sheen to a personality who unfortunately adhered a little too closely to his chief sponsor’s slogan. He just did it. And did it. And did it.

In the months since Woods, his reputation tarnished by tabloid headlines, walked away, gold has developed a 19th hole. And millions of dollars from disillusioned sponsors and tournament patrons are being sucked down that hole every week.   

Woods is the face of golf, the most recognizable athlete on the planet. And until he gets the egg off that face, there’s zero chance that the game’s finances will ever get back to par.

According to the Wall Street Journal, three of the Tour’s 46 tournaments in 2010 and 13 in 2011 don’t have sponsors. TV ratings without Woods have taken a similar nose dive.

It’s an all together too unpleasant reminder of what the Tour was like before Tiger.

Watching golf in the early ‘90s was like seeing “Cats�? out of town.  There just weren’t many recognizable personalities and those there all tended to look alike, play alike, dress alike, and talk alike.

Jack Nicklaus was over the hill. Greg Norman couldn’t keep from choking himself. Nick Faldo was cantankerous. Corey Pavin had the appeal of Harry Reid. Freddie Couples was about as sexy as it got. As a result, you had to be a real golf devotee or a Johnny Miller fan to tune in on a non-major Sunday.

A decade-plus of Tiger-fueled growth was like steroids for the Tour. It developed muscles that allowed it to compete with the sporting world’s big boys. Today even Tiger’s supporting cast contains some interesting characters and recognizable faces: Phil Mickleson, Sergio Garcia, Rory McIlroy. The game is more international. You don’t have to belong to a country club to know about hybrids or club-head speed.

But even with Woods and the record purses his presence generated for the Tour, golf was slipping a bit.  According to the Journal, even with Tiger, TV ratings and participation were declining.

Less than 3.5 million watched the average final round in 2009, down from four million in 1999. And just over 10 percent of Americans six and over had played in 2008, down from 12. 1 percent in 1990.  

Tour sponsors don’t figure to be coming back any time soon. Not with the game’s overarching figure embarrassingly smeared. Not with Woods out of the camera’s range for who knows how long. Not with the economy in the tank.

Commissioner Tim Finchem has no choice but to stay the course and hope that some young stud–Northern Ireland’s McIlroy or Japan’s Ryo Ishikawa–can win a major and excite a new generation of viewers the way Tiger’s riveting emergence did in the mid-90s.

But neither McIlroy nor Ishikawa–nor anyone else on the horizon–has Tiger’s sex-appeal–an attribute that formerly was thought of as a positive. And then there was Tiger’s racial cross-over appeal. Ishikawa’s rise would certainly intrigue Asian-Americans, but many of them–unlike African-Americans in the ‘90s—already are committed golf enthusiasts.  

So what can a sport that finds itself, you should pardon the expression, in the woods do?

Nothing but count the days until Tiger returns with a set of clean clubs and a well-scrubbed image.

Why I’M Not Accepting Tiger Woods’ Apology

We all knew it would happen eventually - Tiger Woods has joined the pantheon of celebrities who have made a very public mea culpa for a very private affair.  On February 19, Woods gave a televised speech from the PGA Tour headquarters in Florida in which he apologized for the affairs he admittedly had with several women.  As I watched this public bloodletting it reminded me of the other notables who came before the public spotlight and admitted to and apologized for similar indiscretions.  You know the names – Bill Clinton, Elliot Spitzer, John Edwards, et al.  (At least Woods is to be given some credit for not dragging his wife Elin before the camera as the aforementioned did when it was their time for their public shaming.)

Tiger, looking very tired and deflated, stood before the cameras and apologized to – well everyone he could think of who may or may not have been impacted by these affairs.  So why did he apologize?  Did he do it as a method of self-flagellation?  Maybe.  Was it a carefully timed public relations move done to help revive his career?  Sure it must have been that too.  At first, I debated writing about this subject since in my post of Dec 12, 2009 I already stated that I believed the coverage of this story to be excessive.  Then I thought perhaps the point I made then needs to be re-stated.  Here goes nothing.

As I watched him apologize to his wife, Elin, his parents, his fans, his business partners…and anyone else within earshot, I began to wonder to myself who does he really owe his apologies to.  First let’s break it down:  Does Woods owe an apology to the game of golf itself?  I don’t think so.  I mean how many people who had ties to the PGA tolerated the rampant discrimination present in the game for years and not only did not disassociate themselves from it but did not offer an apology for it?  Also, where were Ty Cobb’s apologies to the game of baseball for his much more reprehensible behavior?

Did Woods owe an apology to the public?   I don’t think so.  Shouldn’t our amusement and entertainment excuse him from having to apologize to us?  Not only does he not owe an apology to the public but those of us who have let this story fuel our tabloids should actually be thanking Tiger for providing us with this current chapter in this man and his family’s excruciating drama.  His story has provided us with countless hours of media coverage, the tantalizing possibility of sex tapes and some more quasi-celebrities such as Tiger’s alleged former mistresses Holly Sampson and Joslyn James.  His affair has also given more work to publicity whore attorney Gloria Allred who represents James.  (Bringing Allred out of her crypt is one thing I may not be able to forgive Tiger for.)

Does Tiger Woods owe an apology to his fans and particularly the kids he works with?  Well I suspect that his fans should know that he is a human being and subject to the same vices that they are.  I also suspect that the parents of the children he apologized to should probably have told their children that Mr. Woods is a human being too.  
Does Woods owe his wife an apology?  Of course he does.  He began his news conference apologizing to her but as Woods stated this act of penance should be between him and his wife.

So where’s my apology in all this?  I mean Joslyn James is demanding one and she voluntarily entered into a relationship with a married man.  I’ve been subject to this media circus just as everyone else in the world has been with even the Dali Lama weighing in on the matter.  I guess my apology was somewhere in the many apologies Tiger did give.  Yet, I don’t accept Woods’ apology because he doesn’t owe me one.  I guess I don’t want one because I never expected him to be more than human.  I guess I don’t want one and therefore wouldn’t accept one because I admire the man’s athleticism and never gave a second thought as to whether or not he would be faithful in his marriage.  I don’t and didn’t feel it was my place and of course it’s not.  I guess I’m waiting for the paparazzi to apologize to Woods for stalking his child.  I’m waiting for James’s to apologize for using Wood’s predicament as a way of expanding her quasi-celebritydom.  I guess I’m waiting for Allred to apologize for being the quintessential sleaze-bag attorney.  I guess I’m waiting first for those of us who slam his infidelity but at the same time are entertained by it.  I guess I’ll have a long wait.

Three Tips From Tiger Woods

Most Americans knew that Tiger Woods made his public apology from the clubhouse at the TPC Sawgrass, home of the PGA tour. His mother and people he had worked with were in the room. His wife Elin was not present.

While some may not agree with me, I felt there was sincerity in Tiger's apology. I don't think that it is easy for him to show his feelings, judging from past history.

Here are three tips that the Tiger Woods' apology can serve as an example to us:

1. Do not make excuses for your actions.
An apology, followed by an excuse cancels out the apology. The person who is hurt does not deserve an excuse. Even if there really was something that caused the person to do what they did, (such as stress, pressure, etc), it is not the appropriate time to bring it up.

Tiger did the right thing. He did not make excuses, such as being a "sexual addict" or having to be too focused during childhood (on golf). Even though these two reasons could have been the two things that made Tiger do the things that he did, he did not bring them up. That took a real man to just be responsible for everything and not make excuses.

2. Admission of guilt.
One cannot truly be sorry for anything unless he first admits guilt. Tiger Woods certainly did that. He took full responsibility for his actions.

3. Action speaks louder than words if one is sorry.
In his personal relationship with his wife, Tiger said his "real apology to her" would come by his actions, not his words.

This was the best part of this apology. Tiger admits he has a lot of work to do and that his apology (per Elin) will not be complete until his behavior has turned around.

So many things about writing that I have learned elude me. However, I always remember this statement, "show me, don't tell me." (Don't tell me the hero of a story is charming, wonderful, etc., but show me by the way he acts in the story.). This "don't tell me, show me" can definitely be aplied to an apology.

I think Tiger Woods apology was sincere and one we will remember. It was not stiff.

The Free Dictionary gives two meanings for an apology:

(1) To make an apology; acknowledge, and express regret for, a fault, wrong, etc. and

(2) to make a formal defense in speech or writing


It is never too late to right the hurt you have caused other people. I think we can all learn from Tiger, because he did make a complete and sincere apology.

Tiger Woods Fart Video - Tiger Woods farts at the Buick Open on Sunday

Click here to watch Tiger Woods fart video

Tiger Woods was caught on tape passing gas at the 18th hole during the 2009 Buick Open. He's standing next to his caddy and they both crack up afterwards like a couple of kids.

The thing funny is the Tiger Woods fart video is getting more attention than his win of the 2009 Buick Open.

Info About Tiger Woods:

Eldrick Tont "Tiger" Woods(born December 30, 1975) is an American professional golfer whose achievements to date rank him among the most successful golfers of all time. Currently the World No. 1, he was the highest-paid professional athlete in 2008, having earned an estimated $110 million from winnings and endorsements.

Woods has won fourteen professional major golf championships, the second highest of any male player, and 69 PGA Tour events, third all time. He has more career major wins and career PGA Tour wins than any other active golfer. He is the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam, and the youngest and fastest to win 50 tournaments on tour.

Woods has held the number one position in the world rankings for the most consecutive weeks and for the greatest total number of weeks. He has been awarded PGA Player of the Year a record nine times, the Byron Nelson Award for lowest adjusted scoring average a record eight times, and has tied Jack Nicklaus' record of leading the money list in eight different seasons. He has been named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year a record-tying four times, and is the only person to be named Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year more than once.

Since his record-breaking win at the 1997 Masters Tournament, golf's increased popularity is attributed to Woods' presence. He is credited for dramatically increasing prize money in golf, generating interest in new audiences as the first person of African American descent to win the Masters, and for drawing the largest TV audiences in golf history.

Near to Tiger Woods

Eldrick T. Woods is one of us. Tiger is just like you and me. He occasionally throws a club when he hits a bad shot and he uses a port-o-potty when there is no other option.

If not for the 14 victories in majors, the hundreds of millions of dollars in winnings and endorsements, and his standing as the most famous athlete on the planet, Tiger would be just another guy hacking his way around TPC Boston in this weekend’s Deutsche Bank Championship. He shot a 1-under 70 yesterday and is seven strokes off the lead.

But you’re still wondering about the trip to the port-o-potty, right?

It’s true.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Tiger had just hit his tee shot on the par-4 ninth, his final hole. While Steve Stricker and Heath Slocum prepared to hit their drives, Tiger walked to his left toward one of those smelly-but-necessary units that are part of outdoor events around the world. A police officer stood guard while Tiger opened the plastic door, went inside, closed the door, and did his business.

This is standard stuff, of course. The pros are out there for five hours, hydrating along the way, and they’re not always handy to the clubhouse or a private hospitality tent.

Still, it’s different when it’s Tiger.

"Sometimes people applaud him when he comes out,’’ said the Globe’s crack golf scribe, Michael Whitmer.

Hmmm. That’s a little weird. Sort of like the way you treat a 3-year-old in training.

Way to use the potty, like a big boy!

Thank goodness the Tour provides players with units inside the ropes. Better chance for privacy. Less chance of overflow.

Call me naive, but I just figured Prince Tiger Woods would have beautiful girls throwing rose petals in his path, and a private bathroom with gold fixtures near his person at all times. I don’t think any Pope John ever used a portable john. Why Tiger?

He is, after all, the richest and most decorated athlete in the world. His presence is what brings casual sports fans to golf. It is Tiger who produces the television ratings and the big purses. Every golfer on Tour should send Tiger a royalty check at the end of the season - fund a private bathroom-on-wheels.

Happily for golf fans of New England, this is Tiger’s tourney. He won it in 2006 and tied for second in 2004 and 2007. Last year he was on the shelf after knee surgery, but he has had a partnership with the Deutsche Bank Championship since the tourney’s inception, with event funds directed to the Tiger Woods Foundation.

 "I’ve always liked this area,’’ Tiger said Thursday. “I’ve played well here, and the people are thoroughly enthusiastic about the sport.’’

There was plenty of enthusiasm everywhere he went yesterday, but his shot-making was not up to Tiger standards.

 "I really didn’t do much of anything positively today,’’ he said. “I didn’t feel good over any shot today and didn’t drive it very good, hit my irons worse, and didn’t make any putts. Other than that it was a good day.

 "Most of the putts I hit today, if anything they were lacking pace. They were kind of rolling by about 6 inches past the hole, maybe a foot. I just wasn’t carrying enough pace to the hole.’’

 It wasn’t the greens. Woods played alongside first-day leader Stricker, who shot an 8-under 63 and looked like he was putting into an oil drum.

It was poor putting that cost Tiger the PGA a couple of weeks ago, and a blown 6-footer on 18 last Sunday cost him a playoff with Slocum at The Barclays.

But it wasn’t just the short game that bothered Woods at TPC Boston.

I felt terrible over any tee shot,’’ he said. “Didn’t matter what club it was, whether it was an iron on a par 3 or a drive or any hole. I didn’t feel great over any shot. It was one of those days.’’

Tiger’s frustration boiled over after an errant drive on the fifth hole, his 14th hole of the day. He chucked his driver into the tall grass and it took awhile to find the club. Something your boss or brother-in-law would do. These kind of demonstrations have marked Tiger’s major-less season.

 

 

Longtime Sponsors Are Sticking With Tiger Woods, So Far

The world's most famous golfer, who offered a "profound apology" Wednesday, might find new deals hard to come by, according to marketing experts, and the loyalty of existing sponsors could be tested by any additional tawdry stories or his reluctance to address the issue publicly.

Nike, Gatorade and EA Sports all released statements Wednesday expressing their support or commitment to Woods, and Gillette said it had no plans to change its marketing programs. AT&T declined comment.

"These are people who are invested with him in his foundation, his golf courses, across the board. So they're part of his family, too," said Schwab, who also links companies and celebrities for branding opportunities.

In fact, cutting ties with Woods now could actually hurt a company, Schwab said."Brands look at how impactful a spokesperson can be for their for brand but also what the public outcry or public opinion would be," he said. "If a brand drops him, there could potentially be negativity toward the brand for doing so.

"That's why brands typically weather the storm." But companies that may have wanted to align themselves with Woods might rethink that - particularly companies whose target audience is women or children. Part of Woods' appeal has been his pristine image, off the course as well as on, and events of the last week have tainted that, making him an easy target.

Jay Leno poked fun at Woods during his show Tuesday night. Spirit Airlines is trying to capitalize on his troubles, too, offering an "eye of the tiger" sale, which they're promoting with a video that shows a tiger in a baseball cap driving an SUV into a fire hydrant.

Zeta Interactive's "Zeta Buzz" mines more than 100 million blogs, message boards and social media posts to analyze the feelings of potential consumers. In the past, terms most associated with Woods were "Masters," "golf" and "winning," Zeta CEO Al DiGuido said. In the last week, that's changed to "affair" and "cheat," DiGuido said.

The tone of posts has also changed, he said. Before the car crash, 91 percent were positive. That's now down to 74 percent. The volume also has skyrocketed. Zeta Buzz found 900 posts related to Woods on Tuesday; from midnight to noon Wednesday, there were 2,000, DiGuido said.

"As much as he wants to put this behind him, what's happening now is the alleged scandal is starting to fuel the buzz, and it's not positive for Tiger Woods," DiGuido said. "The volume is continuing to grow and the negative side of it is getting more intense.

"It would be something that (if you're a sponsor) you would watch pretty closely because it starts to take on a life of its own."

It's not just Woods who stands to lose. The Tiger Woods Foundation provides educational resources to disadvantaged children, with a $25 million learning center in Anaheim, Calif., and plans to build another in Washington, D.C.

"With respect to the sponsors and partners, they've shown a tremendous amount of support in us and this event, and they've been supportive of the foundation and they've been proud of the work we've done the past 13 years with more than 10 million kids," Greg McLaughlin, foundation president and tournament director for Woods' Chevron World Challenge, said this week.

"A lot of kids need our help and want our help, and we're going to continue to grow our foundation and provide valuable services to these kids," he said.

Woods, who backed out of the tournament after the accident, again pleaded for privacy in his statement Wednesday, saying "problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions." But that's not going to be good enough, the marketing experts said.

Questions will continue to be asked until Woods himself answers them, they said. And the longer he goes without facing the public, the more fans and consumers will question the faith they had in him. ( Tiger Cancels Meeting With Police, Remaining Details Private )

"Sponsors are going to listen to the people who buy their products," said Michael Gordon, CEO of Group Gordon Strategic Communications in New York. "If he handles it well, and he still has the opportunity to do that, he can put this to bed. Currently, the way he's handling it is failing.

"The language in the statement is perfect," Gordon added. "But he needs to come out and humanize it and say those words and answer a handful of tough questions on the subject. The more he avoids direct media contact, he creates more scrutiny of the situation."

On December 16th, 2009, Tiger Woods was chosen as the Athlete of the Decade by members of The AP in a vote.  Some people may believe that he doesn't deserve this award after the recent news of Tiger's personal life.  However, this award is chosen based on the accomplishments of the last 10 years.  Despite the problems Tiger has faced lately, this doesn't change the fact that Tiger deserves this award for everything he has accomplished in sports.

Woods, who has only made a total of three comments since his ordeal on the weekend of Thanksgiving, has yet to give any comment for receiving the award.  Expect a comment soon.  The news for his award comes as rumors have surfaced that his wife plans on leaving him soon.  According to sources, "Tiger will never change."  Apparantly, Elin has made up her mind and plans on leaving him very soon.  Chances are, she will take off to her brand new, multi-million dollar Swedish home that Tiger built for her.  I am not jealous at all...

Elin to Tiger Woods - Golf or Me!

Elin Woods is a good woman because she has taken full control of her marriage the way a good woman should. No longer will Mr. Tiger Woods be allowed to tour on his own. The name Tiger fits his hunting nature, always hunting for new offerings on the golf course and elsewhere. By not walking away from her marriage with Tiger, Elin has definitely elevated herself has the bigger person and the ultimate champion.

Now by dictating to Tiger what he should and should not do, Elin has taken the reign as the true champion and big boss in the Woods household. According to many sources, Tiger Woods’ wife demanded that he only goes on golf tours under her watchful eyes. Never again will Tiger be allowed to roam the golf courses and fairways alone.

Tiger was very smart in regards to his plea for forgiveness; he uttered the words that all women want to hear: “I am sorry.�? He acknowledged that he is in fact an infidel, but one that needs a second chance. He proves his true mettle by offering to give up the only game he loves with all his heart and soul, just so that his marriage can be saved, and so that his wife Elin can see that he means business and is willing to do whatever it takes to win her back.

The world’s most famous golfer is a man with urges for other women like all men. He just hasn’t mastered the thing called self control as yet, in regards to wanting more ladies on his five iron. A strong man is a man who can control his urges for the ladies at all times. So, the world has finally found out the weakness of the worlds’ most outstanding golfer. In fact, everyone of us has weaknesses, but no one could have expected that Tiger Woods’ weakness would have been a few porn stars, cocktail waitresses, and a hot party promoter to name a few.

What triggered Elin to finally suspect that Tiger was engaging in extra marital affairs? No one will ever know! One thing is for sure, she takes no nonsense from anyone including the world’s most famous golfer. She didn’t waste any time breaking out the five iron to break out a few windshields. Elin is gorgeous, nice, and beautiful, but she wheels a mean five iron as we all know by now.

Tiger Woods should get a lot of credit for realizing that Elin is the most important woman in his life. At the very least, he didn’t settle for the other ladies on the side and totally eradicate his marriage. He still had a little sense, and held on for dear-life; in fact, his marriage is still on life support, but it seems as if it will pull through, thanks to the most important woman in his life (Elin). Elin should get the most credit of all for not yielding to public pressure to get rid of the Tiger for good.

Tiger like other men are always fantasizing about other ladies. It doesn’t matter if the man is married. The nature of a man is to always try to get into new businesses on the side with a cutie. However, Tiger allowed his fantasy to become a reality and when this happens, it usually spells trouble. Now he has learned his lesson the hard way to always keep fantasy in its rightful place and don’t allow it to spill over into reality or else he will always end up in a ditch with a few broken windshields and a wife standing over him with a golf club.

 

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10

Tiger woods will continue drawing public’s attention.

EA Sports, one of the sponsors  (like Nike) that has stuck with scandal-besieged golfer Tiger Woods, has a new product out. It's called: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10.

You are offered the chance to, yes, "Feel the drama." Well, OK,  that's one way of saying it. And it is repeated, "Feel the drama of playing tournament golf with Tiger Woods."

That's drama, right now anyway, that you can feel only by playing a video game, so it is truth in advertising. Because we're not quite sure when Tiger will actually play tournament golf.

This announcement was shared today and, even if it is premature, it begs us to remember that Tiger Woods is a philanthropist whose foundation has had a positive influence on many lives. Why has this not been mentioned as often as the less salacious stories?

Another option is that he leaves golf and become a philanthropist like Bill Gates. The world would be in his debt.

"Tiger Woods has been out of the public eye for 48 days ,he never took his ping g15 driver-- but Russell Simmons claims the golfer is doing a good deed.

Simmons, who has been encouraging his Twitter followers to donate to Haiti relief funds, tweets, "Tiger woods is doing something AMAZING!!!!"

He elaborates on the PGA star's alleged plan to help Haiti, writing, "I heard Tiger Woods is donating to send a cargo plane with a mobile hospital out there. Keep ur prayers high!"

wish Tiger Woods can regain frame. his marriage end but his life must continue.

No Doubt,Tiger Woods Endorsements Are Safe

The car accident happened on Tiger Woods on Friday afternoon has coursed wild public concern, all new reports about him followed fast, such as Tiger's alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel(photo enclosed) etc. Now, people are doubting whether Tiger Woods endorsements are safe.

The 2009 Sports Illustrated Fortunate 50 List reported that Tiger Woods' total earnings were down about $28 million last year, but for the sixth-consecutive time he topped the list by bringing home an estimated $99,737,626. To put that number in perspective, Phil Mickelson came in a distance second with and estimated $52,950,356, while LeBron James is is reported to have made $42,410,581.

As CNNMoney's David Goldman wrote in an excellent article Monday afternoon, Tiger's sponsors are standing by him, and will likely continue to do so. Here's why: Tiger has not been formally charged with anything. Tabloids and pundits are writing that Woods needs to address the rumors that are swirling around the Internet, but legally, Tiger is not required to speak to anyone.

With that in mind, why should companies like Nike, Accenture, AT&T, Tag Hauer, Gillette, and Gatorade even consider changing, or ending, their relationship with the man who is one of the most iconic figures in sports?

Sure, if the circumstances surrounding Woods's car cash change in the coming days or weeks, companies might reconsider their association with Tiger accordingly. But as Florida Highway Patrol Sgt. Kim Montes said in a statement, "Contrary to various media reports, the Florida Highway Patrol has not made any comments regarding the details of the ongoing crash investigation involving Tiger Woods as it relates to medical information, or any other aspect of this investigation."

So don't look for Fortune 500 companies to start changing their marketing plans simply because Tiger Woods is the target de jour of tabloids. And to Tiger's fans, stand by Tiger as usual.

Tiger Woods to take 'indefinite' leave from golf

Tiger Woods said Friday he is taking an indefinite leave from golf to try to save his marriage, the biggest fallout yet from two shocking weeks filled with allegations of rampant extramarital affairs.

"I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person," Woods said on his Web site.

Woods and his wife, Elin, have been married five years and have a 2-year-old daughter and a 10-month-old son.

The announcement came two weeks after Woods crashed his SUV into a tree outside his Florida home, setting in motion a stunning downfall for the world's No. 1 player who for 13 years rarely made news off the golf course. One woman who said she had a 31-month affair with Woods shared a voice mail that she said Woods left her two nights before his Nov. 27 accident.

"I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children," Woods said. "I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I've done, but I want to do my best to try."

Woods has not been seen in public since the accident.

He gave no indication when he might return in what could be a pivotal year as he pursues the record 18 major championships won by Jack Nicklaus. Woods, who did not win a major this year, has 14.

The Masters, where Woods has won four times, is April 8-11. The U.S. Open is at Pebble Beach, where Woods won by a record 15 strokes in 2000, and the British Open returns to St. Andrews, where he has won twice by a combined 13 shots.

It will be the second straight year that a PGA Tour season begins without its star player. A year ago, Woods was recovering from reconstructive knee surgery that kept him out a total of eight months.

This is different.

"We knew before he was coming back," said Steve Stricker, one of Woods' favorite players on tour. "Now, we're not sure when he's coming back. But this sounds good. I hope everything works out for him."

The PGA Tour supported the decision.

"His priorities are where they need to be, and we will continue to respect and honor his family's request for privacy," PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement, the tour's first public comment since Woods mentioned his "personal failings" and "transgressions" in a Dec. 2 statement. "We look forward to Tiger's return to the PGA Tour when he determines the time is right for him."

Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, told The Associated Press that it was the right decision for Woods and his family.

"The entirety of someone's life is more important than just a professional career," Steinberg said in an e-mail to the AP. "What matters most is a young family that is trying to cope with difficult life issues in a secluded and caring way. Whenever Tiger may return to the game should be on the family's terms alone."

Craig Parry, who played a practice round with Woods in Australia last month, said Woods brought the problems on himself.

"What he did was totally wrong," Parry said at the Australian PGA Championship. "And he's got no one to blame except himself. You can look at other people, but he's the one who's got to look in the mirror."

John Daly, who is going through his third divorce, said he has been trying to reach Woods and "he just didn't want to talk to anybody."

"I feel if there is anybody in this world who could give him some advice ..." Daly said in Australia. "I hope we get him back soon. They always say there is no one bigger in golf than the game itself. But Tiger is."

Woods was out of action from July 2008 until the end of February this year, and television ratings dropped 50 percent. The tour is trying to renew a half-dozen title sponsors, and it is to begin negotiations on the next television contract later next year.

As for Woods' corporate endorsements, all have stood by him for now.

"Tiger has been part of Nike for more than a decade," Nike said in a statement Friday. "He is the best golfer in the world and one of the greatest athletes of his era. We look forward to his return to golf. He and his family have Nike's full support."

Meanwhile, Accenture no longer has an image of Woods on the home page of its Web site. Earlier this week, Woods standing amid cactus plants studying his next shot was among three rotating pictures on the home page.

AT&T said it supported Woods' decision.

"We are presently evaluating our ongoing relationship with him," the company said in a statement. Not only does Woods carry the AT&T logo on his golf bag, the company is the title sponsor of his PGA Tour event over the July 4th weekend.

Steinberg said it would be "premature and inappropriate" to talk about Woods' specific business relationships.

"Suffice it to say, we have had thoughtful conversations and his sponsors have been open to a solution-oriented dialogue," Steinberg said. "Of course, each sponsor has unique considerations and ultimately the decisions they make we would fully understand and accept."

Earlier this year, Woods became the world's first athlete to surpass $1 billion in career earnings, according to Forbes magazine. His sponsors include Nike, Gillette, AT&T, Gatorade and Tag Heuer.

Woods last played a tournament Nov. 15 when he won the Australian Masters for his 82nd victory around the world.

Stricker, who went undefeated as Woods' partner at the Presidents Cup, said his leave was the right decision.

"I think it's great that he's going to put his family first and work things out," Stricker said from Naples, Fla., where he is playing the Shark Shootout. "Golf will always be there. He wants to make sure his marriage is right and everything is good on the homefront. We'll sure miss him on tour until he gets things taken care of."

Woods also indicated he would step away from the work of the Tiger Woods Foundation, which has served some 10 million children.

"There are millions of young people who have truly changed their lives through the foundation's programs, and millions more still counting on us for help," Woods said in a separate statement through his foundation. "I am committed to them and to the foundation's excellent work, and I know my staff will continue these efforts during my absence."

Tiger Woods Affair storyline

An early morning car crash outside his home in Florida has led to a public relations meltdown for champion golfer Tiger Woods.

 

Scratches sustained in the accident may pale into insignificance given the damage to his image caused by a string of tabloid claims, and the knock-on effect it may have on multi-million dollar sponsorship deals.

Here is how the drama unfolded.

November 27

- Reports emerge that Woods has been injured in a car accident near his Florida home after colliding with a fire hydrant and a tree.

- Florida Highway Patrol issue a statement which says no alcohol was involved but that charges may be pending.

- A joint statement from the hospital and Woods' office was released, reading: "Tiger Woods was in a minor car accident outside his home. He was admitted, treated and released in good condition."

- US gossip websites begin speculating that the incident may be connected to reports earlier that week in the National Enquirer alleging an affair with New York nightclub hostess Rachel Uchitel

November 28

- Florida Highway Patrol confirm they have been unable to speak to Woods and his wife, Elin, about the incident saying the pair were "not available to be interviewed by state troopers, as we had previously scheduled".

November 29

- Woods enlists lawyer Mark Nejame to represent him. Nejame later cancels another meeting with Florida Highway Patrol but provides the statutory requirement of driver's licence, registration and proof of insurance.

- Woods releases a statement on his website admitting full blame for the incident. The release continued: "I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again. This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumours that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible."

November 30

- Woods confirms he will miss his own tournament, the Chevron World Challenge.

- Florida Highway Patrol issue another statement distancing themselves from reports they were seeking a search warrant but confirm they have yet to speak to the golfer.

December 1

- Woods is issued with a traffic citation for careless driving and a 164 dollar fine. Officials declare the investigation over, confirming no criminal charges would follow.

- Florida Highway Patrol public affairs officer Sergeant Kim Montes responds to speculation by insisting: "There are no claims of domestic violence by any individual. We believe this comment and our crash investigation report will speak for themselves."

December 2

- US Weekly runs an interview with waitress Jaimee Grubbs, who claims she had a two-and-a-half-year affair with the golfer.

- Woods pens a new, emotional statement on his website. Comments include: "I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behaviour my family deserves. I am dealing with my behaviour and personal failings behind closed doors with my family." He goes on to criticise media intrusion, adding: "Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions."

December 3

- Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik says he owes Elin Nordegren an apology for introducing her to Woods in 2001. "We probably thought he was a better guy than he is," Parnevik says.

- Rachel Uchitel, who previously denied reports she had an affair with Woods, cancels a planned press conference due to "unforeseen circumstances".

December 4 - 11

December 8

- A woman is rushed to hospital from Woods' home in the early hours of the morning. The patient is later identified as Woods' mother-in-law Barbro Holmberg, who is later released back to Woods' Florida mansion.

- Sports drink firm Gatorade becomes the first company to drop its endorsement of Woods.

December 9

- The growing impact of the allegations on Woods' earning power starts to emerge after adverts featuring Tiger Woods are found to have disappeared from prime-time US television broadcasts.

Nielsen, a New York-based consumer research company, produced a study showing Woods has not appeared in a prime time television commercial in the United States since a November 29 Gillette advert.

- A US politician retracts his bid to get the sportsman recognised with the US's highest civilian honour.

California representative Joe Baca had put forward legislation in March calling for Woods to be recognised with a Congressional Gold Medal for promoting good sportsmanship and breaking down barriers.

But in a statement he says that he would no longer be pursuing the honour on Woods' behalf "in light of recent developments".

December 10

- Rachel Uchitel, the US socialite at the centre of the Tiger Woods affair allegations uses a magazine interview to deny she is a "home-wrecker" or "tramp".

The 34-year-old nightclub hostess told OK! magazine: "In every story you need a villain and a hero. I've been characterised as a villain."

December 11

- Jamie Jungers ( Photo closed ), one of Tiger Woods' alleged mistresses, says she was left broken-hearted following the end of their relationship.

The 26-year-old, who claims to have conduced an 18-month affair with the championship golfer, tells NBC's Today programme that she got "nothing out of this relationship but a broken heart".

- Woods releases most personal statement yet, saying he is taking an "indefinite break" from golf and apologising for his "infidelity".
