Tiger Woods seriously injured

[slotdirt]

They could do a reality show with a cast of like a dozen just based on all the girls who have come forward who have rendez-vous'ed with Tiger. Rock of Tiger, anyone?

Unlike most celebrities that sleep with a ton of women before they eventually get married, Tiger did not. Tiger was probably with a total of 2-3 girls before he got married. Most of these celebrities sleep with so many women that it finally gets old and they are ready to settle down. As far as I know, Tiger didn't sleep around at all before he got married. He had that one girlfriend at college who he was with for several years. I believe he started dating Elin relatively soon after this.

I used to go to Las Vegas alot in the 1990s. Tiger was there all the time because he was taking lessons from Butch Harmon (who is based in Vegas) at the time. Tiger was single at the time and would sometimes go out with his friends to clubs. He would talk to girls but he would never go home with any of them. While guys like Charles Barkley would go home with a different girl every night, Tiger would never do that.

Tiger's father was alive at the time and I think he always warned Tiger to be really careful and stay out of trouble.

So Tiger never really had the crazy escapades of most of these celebrities and athletes. Now years later, he probably started to get a little bored and he probably saw a high percentage of his peers cheating while out on the road and he started doing the same thing.

Rupert, so you are justifying this behavior. Life is not about how many people you've slept with. No one forced him to get married. The guy is scum in my book. And from what I hear a shoddy tipper as well. Bad signs.

Funny story from the Andre Agassi book about Pete Sampras... Andre and then coach Brad Gilbert were in a restaurant in California and watched as Pete Sampras left the restaurant waiting for the valet to bring him his car. After he drives away, Andre and Brad decide to make a bet on how much money Pete tipped the valet. Brad says I bet that cheap SOB only left him
$5. Andre gulps, and says to Brad, "the guy has made 40 million in prize money. He had to leave him at least $10." So they wander outside and ask the valet the amount Pete left and the valet confesses Pete left him $1. Brad won the bet.

No, I'm not justifying his bevavior. I'm simply saying that from a psychological viewpoint, I can understand his behavior. I'm not going to judge the guy. We don't know what's it's like to be Tiger Woods. We don't know what it's like to be one of the biggest celebrities in the world. What he did is clearly wrong. There is no debate about that. But none of us are perfect.

I think scum is a harsh word, but I agree with you. The same vices are out there for everybody...just dissappointed in his judgement.

That makes him a dumb ass. He could have had all that action at Stanford, then while he was single girls first few years on the tour, all guilt free and not hurting anyone. So he refuses to get laid when most people do (in college and early 20's) and wont cheat on his college girlfriend, but instead decides to get married and become disloyal to his wife instead, sleeping with four times as many women while hes married than when single....BRILLIANT!

Nope, never been, but you mean to tell me they dont have any attractive women their, that would be willing to shack up with the world's most interesting golf prodigy? I fnd it hard to believe Tiger couldnt do well at Stanford. I have seen some of the women on the Stanford athletic teams and they are a lot better than the girls I went to college with.

I don't get why more male athletes don't just do the Jeter thing and remain single in perpetuity.

good question. hell, tiger's wife knew what she might be getting into by marrying a big time rich celeb....the kids on the other hand have no choice, and have to hope their parents made good choices. it's always the kids who pay for crap like this, and they're just innocent victims.

as for tiger wanting to party it up...bs. life is about choices. instead of him living regretting what he didn't get to do, he should have been thankful for what he had, and relished it. respect is far easier to lose than to gain-or re-gain for that matter.

He gets addicted to being with one girl, and she gives him an ultimatum.

Maybe the rumor around campus was that he genetic make up was more from his mothers side than his father.

Tiger's girlfriend while he was at Stanford was a very pretty girl.

I'm sure she wasnt a dog, but my point was if you are going to cheat on someone, make it your girlfriend before your wife. Huge difference. Especially in college. Most men and women arent all that shocked to learn that their college boyfriend or girlfriend cheated.

So basically the guy sacrificed his youth for the sake of getting where he wanted to be in his career. Now that he's made it huge, he sacrificed his wife and children for the sake of making up those lost years. Sounds pretty selfish to me.

I don't think it was a planned thing. I don't think he was thinking that he would behave himself until he was financially set and then do whatever he wants after that. He always tried to be perfect and he did a pretty good job of it for a long time. He just wasn't able to keep it up forever.

But he screwed up, when it counted the most.

As I said, I think his dad put a lot of pressure on him to stay out of trouble. He told him not to be like these other athletes that are sleeping around and getting stories written about them in all the tabloids. At the time, Tiger really did need to be very careful. He was building up his image and his reputation and he was getting all of those endorsement deals. He was really forced to grow up very early.
