Is Tiger Woods considering quitting golf?
Friday, Dec. 11, 2009 - 5:54 p.m. ET

Tiger Woods is willing to "do anything" to save his marriage – including quit golf, the Sun newspaper of reports on its Web site.

The British tabloid said Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, gave the golf superstar a list of requirements he would have to meet to salvage their relationship, which has been battered in recent weeks by revelations of multiple infidelities.

"Last night it was understood Elin had refused to let Woods tour until he regained her trust - or until daughter Sam, 2, and 10-month-old son Charlie were old enough to tag along with them," the report said.

The newspaper also quoted someone they identified as a friend of Nordegren. "Tiger will have to work long and hard to get her to trust him again. Quitting golf shows he is willing to sacrifice something he loves so much to protect his family."

1. 1st thing to do to save your marriage: stop fucking dozens of other women
Tiger can beg all he wants, but his wife is going to own his ass.

Tiger Woods to take 'indefinite' leave from golf

By DOUG FERGUSON (AP) – 11 minutes ago

Tiger Woods is taking an indefinite leave from professional golf to work on saving his family, using the word "infidelity" for the first time in a statement posted on his Web site. Woods says he is aware of the disappointment that "my infidelity" has caused to his wife and children. He says he might not be able to repair the damage, but he wants to try. He did not disclose Friday evening how long of a break he would take from the PGA Tour. He again asked for privacy, saying his family would need a "safe haven" to try to heal.

20. This is GENERAL discussion.
And this is a general topic. And he is the biggest athlete in the world. You don't have to read the Tiger threads. There is a hide feature that works lovely.

25. Sounds like it belongs in the Lounge...
This is not general Democratic related discussion. Not even remotely close.

It's just a hunch, but it is a strong one.

19. Life imitates movies
Let me tell you a little story? I once knew a guy who could have been a great golfer, could have gone pro, all he needed was a little time and practice. Decided to go to college instead. Went for four years, did pretty well. At the end of his four years, his last semester he was kicked out... You know what for? He was night putting, just putting at night with the fifteen-year-old daughter of the Dean... You know who that guy was Danny?

24. Also from the tabloid the Sun:
Edited on Fri Dec-11-09 11:11 PM by tonysam
Braun said her girls told her Woods was "wild and a lot of fun".

She added: "He liked girl-on-girl. He had sex with them together. He was tough to keep up with - days at a time on a booze and sex bender."


Braun claimed Woods called her from different cities to organise girls.

She said: "He had a pretty big appetite for girls. Never just one girl. He would want to set up a whole weekend of partying and have ten or 15 girls 24/7.

"Mostly young, college cuties. In an average weekend in Las Vegas he'd probably spend $30,000 or $40,000."

More



I don't know why in the hell Elin would bother taking him back.
