Jimmy Kimmel – Tiger Woods Hugs

Thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, we get to see what really happened after Tiger’s public apology.

Tiger Wood’s Is Deeply Sorry

If you had your TV on this morning then you definitely caught Tiger Wood’s first public statement since chaos in his erupted as it seemed every channel was broadcasting the press conference.  What did you think of Tiger’s apology?

AT&T Drops Tiger Woods

Tiger loses another one:

AT&T Inc. said Thursday it would no longer sponsor Tiger Woods, joining Accenture in dropping support for the world’s top golfer, who’s taking a break from the sport to focus on his marriage after his admitted infidelity.

The phone company hasn’t used Woods’ image extensively in advertising, but its logo appeared on his golf bag. That deal had been billed as a “multiyear” agreement when it was signed early in 2009, after Buick ended its endorsement one year early because of its financial woes.

Tag Heuer Drops Tiger Woods

Accenture dropped him first and then yesterday Tag Heuer announced that they would part ways with the AP Athlete of the Decade. I guess it makes sense for these sponsors to drop Tiger if he’s in more Tabloid magazines than Sportscenter golf highlights but what it’ll be interesting too see what happens when he picks those golf clubs back up.

Tiger Woods Is Named AP Athlete Of The Decade

Tiger Woods is most likely going through the roughest time in his life right now but at least there are some good things to talk about.  The AP recently named Tiger their athlete of the century.

In this decade, he won 64 times (globally), including 12 majors. He now trails all-time majors leader Jack Nicklaus by a scant 18 – 14. In that entire period, when leading going into the final round, he lost only one time. During the decade, he won 56 PGA Tour events. That number surpasses the career numbers of all but four of golf’s greatest players.

The AP vote, like many of his tournament victories, was a runaway. He received 56 of the 142 votes cast by AP member editors. Second place was Lance Armstrong, six-time Tour de France winner in the decade, with with 33 votes. Third place was tennis’ Roger Federer, who has won more Grand Slam singles titles than any other man, with 25 votes.

Nike? Gatorade? Who’s next?

Tiger Woods Is Taking A Break From Golf

In case you’ve been living under a rock:

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.

Tiger Woods Releases Another Statement

Tiger Woods is too perfect haha.

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don’t share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one’s own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.

Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it’s difficult.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.

Tiger Woods Releases A Statement Regarding His Car Accident

Something is still sketchy about everything in this whole story.  I think Tiger is scared to admit his wife beat his ass with his own golf clubs in fear of her repeating the assault.  Here was his statement he released on his website:

As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I’m pretty sore. This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again.

This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.
The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.

This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.
