Tiger Woods: Accidents And Misttresses

By now most everyone with any interest in sports (and even those that don't) have heard of the Tiger Woods car accident this past weekend. When I first heard of it, happening at 2:30 AM early Sunday, I figured he was probably doing a little drinking...then you hear that he was sober. So what the heck could of happened, drugs? That didn't seem very Tiger... And then it was within hours I began to hear and read about all the gossip that is coming out...that he has had at least an affair with one other woman and possibly two.

First, let me say, that I am not one that typically believes a lot of the rumors that the tabloid rags print. But I will say, that with the way Tiger Woods handled this entire accident, the gossip almost seems to fit the scenario...

What I have read/heard was the 'unofficial' account of how the accident occurred was that Tiger and his wife were fighting about the affairs, she was beating the shit out of Tiger and Tiger was trying to leave. As he was leaving, his wife threw a golf club through the back window which caused Tiger to lose control of his SUV and smoke a fire hydrant and a tree. Of course Tiger comes out and says his wife acted courageously and the neighbors only state that they were asked to call 911 and did so.

But I have also heard that the gated community where Tiger lives has lots of security cameras, as does Tiger's house ... again, from what the gossip/rumor mill, those tapes were quickly seized by Tiger's lawyers and will not be released...

And this, of course, is all the unofficial version as reported by the tabloids. If a legitimate news story comes out validating any of the unofficial account, then I will most certainly give more credence to that version than to the official version... right now, I am guessing some of each version might be true...

Does any of this change the fact that Tiger may be the greatest golfer of all time? No. But if he likes to hang with the ladies he will either need to be more discrete or just get a divorce and play the field...as a married man I don't know why any man that makes an shitload of money would ever get married...

UPDATE:

Within minutes - no lie - of my publishing this entry, this just in: Woods Let Family Down. He does not offer any details of his affair(s) but apologizes to his fans and his family.

Also, US Magazine has posted a voicemail, allegedly from Tiger to his misstriss, saying that his wife found her number and she might be calling her.

So the 'unofficial' version does seem very plausible and very likely...and maybe that is why Tiger did what he had to do and hide from the media until things cool down...
