Tiger Woods: The Image That’s Tarnished Beyond All Repair

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sports, Television, Videos


Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Not only have the former sponsors of golf legend dropped him like a hot potato, now his once-pristine image is the stuff of jokes. Case in point: the Tiger Woods Love Doll. Yes, it is exactly what you think it is. The product is available from Pipedream Products, Inc., and the tagline reads “He’s got major WOOD!” Youch.

In , the golfer will be featured on the premiere of South Park which airs later this week. According to series co-creator Matt Stone, “We’re all really concerned about [Tiger Woods] and hope he gets better.” But don’t think that means the Park bunch will take it easy on the golf superstar, as their record shows that they’ll take exactly the opposite approach.

Long gone are the days of interesting Nike commercials and the image of an untouchable, elite sports hero. Will they ever come back?

Yes - He does plan return to play golf some day, he just doesn’t “know when that day will be.” No - Woods didn’t think “normal rules” applied to him; he thought money and fame “entitled” him.

Tiger Woods Vanity FairVanity Fair’s newest cover features a shirtless in a stunning photo taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. The article inside the mag takes an in-depth look at the golfer’s very public fall from grace.

Brutally, the article lays out Tiger’s transgressions and the nature of his former public image, showing the two very contrasting personas. The piece then goes on, point-blank, to call Woods a sex addict “who could not get enough.”

But there is nothing in the article that speaks to the fans, nothing that remarks upon the loss of his once legendary image and the true sorrow it all evokes. How will golf lovers reconcile the perfect, professional athlete with the disgraced public figure? Until Woods himself comes forward to speak, the answer remains unknown.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, Rumors

Tiger Woods

I guess the paparazzi can stop staking out the golf courses.

In a statement just posted on his website, Tiger Woods says he’s going to be taking an indefinite leave of absence from his sport:

I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I’ve done, but I want to do my best to try.

I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding. What’s most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.

After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.

Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period.
