Folks, we're witnessing the unraveling of a modern day legend ....Tiger Woods getting clubbed (literally) over the head by his wife and subsequently crashing his SUV ... well, you know there just had to be more to it.
Now that his affairs over the years are coming to light, the shine is sure to tarnish the god-like aura that has surrounded the man since he broke onto the golf scene. We are just starting to hear about women who have played host to his driver - there will probably be many more come to light. Previously, the only negative to his persona was his loud and frequent use of profanity in public during his game.
Tiger has been on a pedestal that few people ever attain ... I can only think of Michael Jordan as a peer for him. This will certainly trim a few inches off that pedestal!
Now, I am not passing judgement on him or his behavior - I have no right nor desire to do so. What does interest me is how the public and media will react to this, and how those who have bowed at the Tiger Altar for so long will now view their exalted hero.
Will this destroy him ... no chance. Look at Kobe Bryant ... accused of rape, admitted affair ... I am sure he was damaged personally, but he's still got his endorsements and salary and thousands upon thousands of black kids who want to be the next big NBA thing - just like him. Tiger's bigger than Kobe. He'll probably lose his wife, half of his mega bucks, and face some embarrassing interviews - but he will survive.....
Update - He will survive, but a lot less rich ... His 'wife' is demanding a redo of their pre-nup, apparently wanting a ton of money to put up the 'good wife' front. He's been linked to at least 10 different women - he'd fly one of them into certain cities for a little fun during select tournaments. Some lady, as yet unidentified, was rushed to a hospital last night from his house at 2:30am. Some sources say his 'wife' has moved out of the house.
