I don't even know what happened and I don't care.

I find it rather mundane, really. But, it's good to know he's human and not a borg or something. ;)

Tiger finally admitted indiscretions. I guess the golfer's instinct to call your own penalty proved too strong.

My image of Tiger Woods does not at all rely on the quality of his private life. So it isn't really impacted.

Unless it turns out instability in his private live devastates his golf game. Since my image of him is based on his ability to, when in competition, focus to the exclusion of everything else.

But he could have banged the entirety of South Florida, calling his wife at the conclusion of each act to taunt her and it wouldn't much matter to me.

Winter rules, Tiger. Winter rules.

Something about trouble involving a black man married to a white woman in the deep south. Also, the white woman appears to be some sort of immigrant. That's all I can tell you. Anything more than that would be conjecture at this point.

I just so don't fvcking care at this point.

I don't care, but I have to admit, the image of Tiger flooring it backwards down the driveway, throwing it in gear, only to suddenly see through his drunken haze his wife standing in his headlights waving a couple of golf clubs over her head, causing him to swerve into the hydrant and tree has me pretty amused.

I wonder if Tiger could have gotten her out of a vehicle with his driver. I think he might have pulled it.

I now have this vision of the family using golf clubs for all manner of difficult household chores.

As to caring or not, it doesn't detract from my regard of him as a sportsman. However, unlike, say, PacMan Jones, he is paid lots of money to endorse things based on his image. Anytime someone, be it politician or athlete or evangelist, dines out on a wholesome image and that image is tarnished, it is certainly a phenomenon worth noting and, perhaps, chuckling at.

True, his various employers definitely have reason to care (if not about the events themselves then the reaction of the buying public).

But people who are buying non-golf stuff simply because Tiger Woods is attached (while I never have, there are certainly cases where I am more aware of a product because of his face) to it, well I'd say they deserve to be disappointed.

From Tiger's press release today:

Translation:

People should only pay attention to me when I want to sell them something using my carefully crafted image. Or when I'm winning tournaments. Or when I'm giving interviews. Or when I talk about the wonderful psychic connection I had with my Pops. Or when I release photo spreads taken with my family. Other than that, please respect my privacy. Let me have my cake and eat it too. Wah!
