Tiger Woods Taking Break from Golf
Saturday, December 12th, 2009 | Golf, Sports, Tiger Woods | No Comments
Tiger Woods is a taking an indefinite leave from Golf for the time being. Woods announced the news in a statement posted to his website: “After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father and person.” Ouch. Talk about facing the music.
Things must be much worse than we thought for Woods, Elin and his family…
That being said, I’m still predicting that Woods wins a major in 2010!
Jesper Parnevik Wishes He Could Take a “Mulligan” with Tiger Woods “set-up” with Elin Nordegren
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 | General, Golf, Sports, Tiger Woods | No Comments
Ouch – while most golfers have been diplomatic with the Tiger Woods – Elin Nordegren-Woods debacle, fellow golfer (and former friend) Jesper Parnevik really let Woods have it in an interview with the Golf Channel this week. You see – Parnevik was the one who set up Elin with Tiger back in 2001 – Elin had been the Parnevik family nanny while on tour. It’s been a fairytale romance and family life for Tiger and Elin since then – up until this past weekend of course. Now that it appears that Tiger Woods has been involved with several woman, it looks like Woods might not be the pristine gentleman that we all thought he was. Here are a couple of scathing quotes from Parnevik:
“I feel really sorry for Elin… I would be especially sad about it since I’m kind of… I really feel sorry for Elin, since me and my wife were at fault for hooking her up with him. We probably thought he was a better guy than he is. I would probably need to apologize to her and hope she uses a driver next time instead of the 3-iron.”
“It’s a private thing, of course. But when you are the guy he is, the world’s best athlete, you should think more before you do stuff… And maybe not just do it, like Nike says.”
Gotta love this stuff. 2 girls come forward in just a few days after the weekend “car accident” in Florida. Can’t wait to hear more voice recordings of Tiger to his “lady friends” in the coming months. This is just going to keep getting better and better. This is just the beginning. Fore!!!
Tiger comes clean
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 | Golf, Tiger Woods | No Comments
Tiger is starting to come clean with the events that are going on in his life. He posted this on his website today.
“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 behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.
Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.
But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don’t share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one’s own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.
Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it’s difficult.
I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.” Source: tigerwoods.com
He is not coming out and fulling admitting to any of the women that have said he was sleeping with them, but this statement makes some strong comments. Looks like he knows he can’t keep denying all of this forever, people are starting to realize Tiger could be a cheater. With the voice mail coming out this morning how can he keep saying I didn’t do it? I think the real question is how much money will this cost him?
And here is the voice mail, it sounds a lot like him.
Did Tiger get beat up by his wife?
Saturday, November 28th, 2009 | Golf, Tiger Woods | No Comments
As we reported last night Tiger Woods was in a car crash early in the morning and the story was very fishy. Now TMZ is reporting that Woods injuries were caused by his wife. Woods has not been interviewed yet by the highway patrol and should be sometime this weekend. Both Woods and his wife’s story have changed since the night of the crash. TMZ also reported that “And we’ve learned there was no blood found on the steering wheel of Tiger’s SUV — putting into serious doubt that Tiger sustained his injuries from the crash.”
There are also reports that Woods and his wife got into a fight because she believes Woods has a girlfriend. The rumored other women in this whole story is Rachel Uchitel. Uchitel has already hired big name lawyer Gloria Allred and is not saying anything to the press. More to come on this story as we get info.
Tiger Woods injured in car crash
Friday, November 27th, 2009 | General | No Comments
Tiger Woods the man that could be the best golfer of all time was in a car crash at 2:25 am last night when he hit a fire hydrant and tree in his neighbors yard. Local police said Tigers wife had to break out the back window of his SUV to get him out and they found the 33 year old laying in the street with his wife hovering over Woods.
His wife told police that she came out after hearing the crash “came out and broke the back window with a golf club,” he said. “She supposedly got him out and laid him on the ground. He was in and out of consciousness when my guys got there.” Police said alcohol was not involved but charges could still be pending. There are many questions still not answered, why was Woods leaving his home at 2:30am? Was he fighting with his wife? Woods agent would not answer any questions on what was going on with Woods at 2:30 am.
Tiger Woods – Back in Action in Accenture Match Play Championship
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009 | Golf | No Comments
It looks like we have a return date for Tiger Woods – the world’s #1 golf player. Woods is set to face Brendan Jones of Australia in the opening round of next week’s Accenture Match Play Championship. As the world’s #1 player, Woods will have the top #1 seed in the tournament. Woods has not fared well against Australians in this match play championship – 3 of his 6 losses have come at the hands of Australians – twice to Nick O’Hern in the second round in each of 2005 and 2007 and once to Peter O’Malley in the first round way back in 2002. The other #1 seeds are Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington and Vijay Singh.
Woods has not played in a tournament since he had knee surgery following his 2008 US Open victory in dramatic playoff fashion. Wood was seen limping on several occasions during the US Open, and announced that he was having season-ending knee surgery just a few days after the win.
Tiger Woods – Please Be My Caddie!
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 | Golf, Sports | No Comments
Not sure how many 6-hour rounds of golf Tiger Woods has played, but if Tiger Woods were my caddie, that’s what he would have to endure. I’d also recommend a contruction worker hard hat, just to avoid those seemingly impossible “sideways” shots that always scare my playing partners. How I do it, I’ll never know – it seems to defy physics, logic and common sense.
In any event, on Monday, October 20th, “Tee It Up With Tiger” sweepstakes winner John Abel got the chance of a lifetime. He had the greatest golfer of all time serve as his caddie for the back 9 of his round at the South Course of Torrey Pines in San Diego, California. Tiger Woods wore the green caddy bib and drove around in a “tricked-out” Buick golf cart to the delight of fans and golfers on the course. Woods played the role perfectly, handing clubs to Abel, cleaning them off after each shot, dropping the clubs back in the bag, helping Abel line up puts and even adivising Abel on tricky breaks and speed patterns of the greens. And for Abel, it was a dream come true…
Torrey Pines was the site of Woods’ final 2008 tournament before his season-ending knee surgery. At the event – the U.S. Open Championship – Woods defeated Rocco Mediate in a tense and exciting playoff to win his 14th Major Championship. Woods played in only 6 tournaments during the 2008 tour and he won 4 of them. Wood showed no signs of pain from the surgery during his 9-hole caddie session. He can already chip and putt and is on schedule to be ready to go in 2009 – maybe not right at the start, but definitely for that 1st Major Championship at The Masters in Augusta, Georgia.
