i just cant help but wonder what would have happened to the same guy if he didnt have hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank?
would the police have ASKED for an interview?
if he lived in a trailer park in good ole fla.would he have a little more to worry about than an angry wife!
money puts everyone above the law...........some higher than others......
sorry i just dont feel sorry for him.....and yes i do like him hes amazing!

i say leave the man alone. yes he's a public sports figure, and yes he should expect his life to be in the spotlight. but he should also be allowed a certain level of privacy for his family, and what happens within his home.

when he does something illegal that puts him in a court of law, or announces something himself, then he's brought that upon himself. i honestly don't care if he hit a fire hydrant and a tree, or what is going on between him and his wife. this his business.

Vote for GTAHVIT.

Seriously, the only thing that bugs me about this personal issue is that it affects what I like about Tiger Woods. He is a great golfer and has to miss an event. I hope his sponsors can keep his personal events from his professional ones.

The biggest thing I don't get about this whole story is they keep saying he's one of the greast athletes of all time. He's not an athlete. He's a golfer for heaven's sake. My 80 year old grand dad plays golf every morning at the club. Does that make him an athlete?
I would say tiger is the greatest golfer of all time but not the greatest athlete.

Has your grandfather put up Tiger Woods' numbers? He is a great golfer, and golf fits the description of a sport. An athlete participates in a sport of skill against other athletes. A sport generally involves a repeating objective with particular techniques and rules for reaching that objective. For instance, bowling is a sport because there is a particular technique for throwing the ball and rules regulating the length of the lane, the latest point of release, and the number of pins. Meanwhile, the game Halo is not a sport because the techniques performed do not directly result in completing the objective. Instead, the game is played by using a remote controller, not by a person actually capturing the flag or getting the highest count of kills.

Tiger wouldn't put up tiger's #'s when he's 80. I guess that means racing is not a sport either since the driver doesn't run across the start finish line himself. Instead, He inputs thru a remote(steering wheel, gas pedal)to complete the objective ,but chess or checker players would be considered athletes because they move the pieces in a repeating objective with a particular technique while following the rules of the game to reach that objective. Well, in that case I stand corrected.
