HaHaHa, Tiger Woods to take indefinite leave from golf

[RB TexLa]

Saying he is going to try to be a decent human being. Good luck with that.

[Cali_Democrat]

1. I could care less how many chicks he bangs

For me, I just liked his golf game. I think his personal life is his business.

[RB TexLa]

3. I agree. I'm just saying he is what kind of a human being he is, that isn't going to change.

[Deja Q]

4. Unless he lies to someone in order to get into bed with them, when he shouldn't...

He MARRIED Elin. So you don't sleep around. That's what the vows mean.

Never mind STDs...

[sabrina 1]

27. I agree with you. What is almost as disgusting as the

behavior of both the men and women involved in these extra-marital affairs, are the mobs of people who take delight in reporting on what is, in the end, no one's business but theirs. Aside from the cheating spouses and the women who are only too delighted to help them cheat and equally to blame, there are always innocent parties, such as children and wives or husbands who are already hurt by the betrayal of someone they love, and then doubly hurt by the prurient onlookers delighting in the whole sorry mess.

I wish them well and hope they survive as a family. I see no reason why he should be forced out of his career. Bad as his behavior was, it was not illegal and I'm not sure what his private life has or should have to do with his professional life. I doubt anyone interested in watching him play golf, were fans because of his personal life.

Sometimes I think that as a society we haven't come too far from the era of the Salem Witch trials. Seems like a lot of people don't have much in their own lives as they have so much time to spend on the personal lives of others.

These people are human. We know he behaved badly towards his family. I don't get the need to jump up and down with delight everytime someone else screws up their lives. If anything, it's sad, not funny especially for his family.

33. Hey, he's a hero to middle aged guys in more ways than one, now.

[Deja Q]

2. He should have been content with a "hole in one" instead of being a bogey

Or what's 13 over par, rather, since in Tiger's case "par" can only be "1"?

[TexasObserver]

5. Tiger Woods on Celebrity Sex Addiction, with Dr. Drew!

Schadenfreude has a new poster boy.

[Ocracoker16]

6. Been hearing a rumor saying this but do you have a link to show it is true

[RB TexLa]

9. If you can get to a computer you can search for it. It's on his official website

That is if you are able to get to a computer.

[xultar]

12. Buhwawawawa. The funniest shit I've read on DU evah!

[Shrek]

10. Link

From his website:

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.

7. if it's true, then i salute him for trying to change his ways.

[goclark]

18. Good statement ~ wish Tiger and his family the best

[notesdev]

8. off-color topical joke (don't read if you're overly sensitive)

Q: What's the difference between Tiger Woods and Santa Claus?







A: Santa Claus stops after the third 'ho'

[elocs]

11. Well, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

The question is, is Tiger really sorry or really sorry he got caught?
My guess is that his wife will one day be a single and very wealthy woman.
I wonder if he thought it was worth it?

[CTyankee]

22. Not sure she'll be single . She's a beautiful woman.

Not that she has to marry anybody. But I don't think she'll lack from "gentlemen callers" as Blanche Dubois might say. She will probably find someone who is a soul mate. I certainly hope she does. Money helps of course.

I kind ofdoubt Tiger feels sorry at this point. He has to grow up past his addiction to one night stands and hookers. He never really to past that stage in his development, IMO. So there he is with lots of money and lots of women ready to part him from his money...

[tabasco]

13. Who gives a fuck?

You sound stupid.

[RB TexLa]

14. Just something I thought was funny.

[Fleshdancer]

17. says the person who took the minute to click on the thread, read it, then responded.

You sound like you're projecting. Fun times.

[MissDeeds]

31. From the way you express yourself

you don't sound too bright.

[gmoney]

15. The surprising news is he's going to try out for the White Sox in a few weeks...

[Fleshdancer]

16. do idiot women throw themselves at golfers who are on hiatus?

Before this drama unfolded, I had no idea women threw themselves at golfers period. That has to be the lamest type of groupie to exist...unless professional bowlers have groupies too. Hmmm...more weird crap to ponder.

[Rage for Order]

24. Women tend to throw themselves at all men who make millions

Money and power...quite the aphrodisiac

[Fleshdancer]

36. not me

The idea of sleeping with a guy just because he has a lot of money would make me feel like a passive aggressive prostitute. Knowing that he's married would also make me feel like an asshole.

[Dream Girl]

19. This is part of a carefully calculated plan to save his "brand"

He has got to make a dramatic move to get some control of the story and this is it...the other alternative would have been for Elin to leave him. You can bet his advisors are directing him to do this as a way to relaunch himself in a year to 18 months. He will "quit" , keep a very low profile, get some counseling for "sex addiction" , work on his marriage and then become the poster boy for a rehabilitated man, maybe establish a strong relationship with God to boot. Foregoing golf is part of his penance so that the public forgives him and that money machine can start a-pumpin' into high gear again

[polichick]

28. Very likely. nt

[Mike Nelson]

20. Funny story! but, a little distracting from real life

The rich are always going to be with us, obviously. Why our society elevates these people is beyond me...

[Itchinjim]

21. I wish Tiger Woods posts would take an indefinite leave from DU.

[varelse]

23. It's a worthy goal

Why disparage it? :shrug:

[polichick]

25. I'll bet the golf industry folks are bummed to hear that! nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

26. He's be lucky to have two balls left by the time he's done.

[sabrina 1]

29. I forgot

unrec'd, which I rarely do, because I find it disturbing to take delight in the misfortunes of others.

[classysassy]

30. Until the masters

[timeforpeace]

32. Well I hope. Nothing is more important than the Masters. I am cereal about that.

[R. P. McMurphy]

34. I don't drink with Tiger.

Although I do wonder if he answered any of the nurse's questions about the accident?

[PM Martin]

35. He did this to himself.

Where did he find the time? Between training, endorsements (such as outsourcing firm Accenture) and the family,
where did he get the time?
