That's exactly what I mean, Sac. I don't think Tiger is so sold on the Gillette brand of razors that he considers it a necessary act and wants to do it as charitable work to spread the good news of close shaves to all. I meant that Tiger doesn't golf because of the financial success any longer. He golfs because he wants to records, the titles, etc.

I take no credit (responsibility?) for this:

Apparently the police asked Tiger's wife how many times she hit him. She said, "I don't know exactly. Just put me down for a 5."

"Just put me down for a 5" = snowman, at minimum. Oh Elin, you hot-headed vixen.

I wonder if this will drive a wedge in their marriage?
I guess Tiger isn't much of a driver when he is drunk.
Too bad he can't take a mulligan on this one.
Tiger Woods is so rich that he owns lots of expensive cars. Now he has a hole in one.
Apparently somebody else besides his caddie has been handling Tiger's woods

Does simply playing professional golf do the same thing? That is, to reclaim his privacy must he never again stray from his home? Do I have some right to demand information on the sexual peccadillos of the guys making a living on the PGA tour but not doing much in the way of endorsement?

Does merely doing something in your life that causes strangers to know your name mean you have some obligation to those strangers?

No, no obligations at all, but on the other side of the coin, if you want to have extra-marital affairs (and face the possibility of being found out/sold out/blackmailed), then it's better not to have sponsors to answer to.

Not at all, but see point above.

What's the difference between a golf ball and a Cadillac Escalade?

Spoiler:

Oh dear. Golf Digest had already gone to press with this cover:

I think people look at celebrities in the same way they see their friends and neighbors who also get gossiped about. Celebrities though are like everybody's neighbor - so while only my workmates can gain entertainment talking about the trainwreck of a life one of our coworkers may have - celebrity trainwrecks can be talked about with anyone, anywhere - even on LoT
