So the press conference we have been waiting for since the day after Thanksgiving finally happened, Tiger Woods finally apologizes for his multiple affairs. While that speech felt very rehearsed, how else could you or would you address the world and explain your fall from grace. I don’t think I could’ve done it, which might explain why it took him over two and a half months to do it.
So now that you have heard from Tiger Woods, will you ever respect him again? Will you watch him play golf again if and when he picks up the clubs again?
Tiger Woods hasn’t been seen seen since his scandal broke the day after Thanksgiving and now there are rumors he has been seen in Wickenburg, Az. Why there of all places? Well according to AzCentral Wickenburg has several rehab centers and people are speculating that he might be there to seek help for his rumored sex and/or drug addictions. The rehab centers there keep their clients’ names secretive, so there is no way to know if that is why people have been saying they have seen him there. But if he is really there, why else would someone in his position be in Wickenberg, Az otherwise???
After a week of speculation that Tiger Woods had cheated on his wife, he released a statement on TigerWoods.com basically confirming the rumors.
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.
So do you think the media will leave him alone now or do you think they are going to try find more women who claimed to have had affairs with him? I think the latter.
Let’s be real it shouldn’t come as a shock that an athlete had cheated on his wife, he is not the first and he won’t be the last. I personally never thought that golf players were high on the groupie list, but then again they strive to get a hole in one 18 times!!!
After 2 days of speculation about his car accident, Tiger Woods has gone to his website to break his silence.
As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I’m pretty sore.
This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. 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 rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.
The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.
According to TMZ Tiger Woods cancelled another meeting with the Florida Highway Patrol to talk about the accident, which kind of makes you wonder what he has to hide???
Tiger Woods is in serious condition after getting into a car accident at around 2:30a this morning near Orlando, Fl. WFTV is reporting that the Golf star pulled out of his driveway, struck a fire hydrant and then slammed into a tree with his Cadillac SUV. Florida Highway Patrol is unsure what caused the crash, but they said alcohol was not involved and that the accident is under investigation and charges are pending.
I really hope that the accident had nothing to do with rumor that the National Enquirer (via Celebitchy) is saying that he is having an affair.
Hopefully he will be better soon!
UPDATE: Tiger Woods is home and only suffered facial lacerations. There are plenty of rumor how he got them some say it is from the accident while others are saying his wife might have caused them. ‘Til he talks, it will all be one big mystery!
