Well, just when we forgot about David Letterman, we have this juiciest story! It is the juiciest because Tiger gave the world a very nice gentleman image! Turns out, 'he is only human'! Only, wonder whether all humans will do this kind of philandering! Or, is the philandering considered to be the basic human trait? Not sure whether running parallel lives with other women, when you have a beautiful wife and two cute kids is to be considered very normal. Do the real tigers have this parallel affairs when they are in heat? Need to research. Anyhow, he also, as others, immediately regrets his transgressions. What if he had not hit the fire hydrant, and the tree? What if his wife stayed indoors after he rushed out?
It is interesting that our this Tiger while always showing a grumpy image in majority of the photos turns out to be a very interesting character. We may not know what he was trying to do in that middle of the night, crashing against fire hydrants and trees. We also may not know why his wife chose the hockey stick as a tool! Must be very symbolic! Or, may be they have hockey sticks lying all around their home.
But, he claims it is his private matter and many believe so. I am not so sure. First of all, Americans cannot stand dishonesty! That is why probably we have one of the best justice system in the world. Moreover, if he has been sponsoring merchanidize and making millions out of it, then the same people who kept him on the pedastal and bought things because they saw his name or his grumpy picture on the items they bought, may feel betrayed. Playing golf and winning is entirely based on his ability. But, selling items using his name is based on the ability of the public to trust the image he is selling.
It may so happen that his wife may forgive him, as many great wives of the public figures have done before. And, people may forget and move on...and Tiger Woods may rake in billions more...until then...
