I cannot believe the level of interest surrounding Tiger Wood’s rumored infidelity. The public expects so much more out of celebrities and you know what? They are just the same low-life, cheating scumbags like the rest of us so it shouldn’t be surprising to learn that yeah, Tiger cheated. He took to his blog to confess his sins and ask for privacy.
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.
While Tiger is striving to be a better person and husband, his wife Elin needs to dump his ass. She’s been publicly humiliated and she’s never going to get over this voicemail that he left for another woman, asking her to take her name off her voicemail so Tiger’s wife wouldn’t know who the number belonged to.
People cheat and people suck, however, most people don’t have their personal affairs (literally!) played out and analyzed on every talk show, print publication and website . Elin Nordegren is young, beautiful and rich — I suspect much richer once she lawyers up. She deserves better than this.
He looks like the last stage of Jeff Goldblum in The Fly
I want to beat him in the face with a golf club
…
“My wife went through my phone and may be calling you. So if you can, please take your name off that. Just have it as a number on the voicemail. You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. Bye.”
DUMB. FUCK.
so now this is THREE women he has been linked to? give me a break.
a male radio host in dallas was insinuating the other day that Elin deserved to be cheated on because she probably went through postpartum depression, became a mean bitch, and didn’t have sex with poor Tiger.
i hope Elin takes him for all he’s worth.
I’ve noticed a trend with these idiots. They always apologize after they’ve been caught. Like it fixes everything. Don’t they think about what they’re doing to their families while they’re carrying on their indiscressions???
i agree! I SIMPLY DON’T UNDERSTD. HOW THESE GUYS FEEL THAT THEY R AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULE OF BEING CAUGHT WITH THEIR PANTS DOWN; ESPECIALLY SINCE SOOOO MANY HIGHLY VISUAL MEN HAVE HIT THE BRICKS LATELY. YOU REALLY COULD NOT HAVE CONVENCED ME THAT TIGER WOODS WAS ONE OF THAT GROUP UNTIL NOW.
HAHAAAAAAA i laugh in the face of cheaters.
fuck you, tiger, you fuckin’ phony bologna.
no pity.
no way.
I am not a cheater, dont plan to be..
But I have made mistakes
So have YOU…. Everyone that reads this has made a mistake of some kind. This was a big mistake. Tiger actually refers to this as a sin…
Sin, what is sin? An offence to God.
As for me, I thank God for Grace, because I sure have offended God.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Rom 3:23
So, no pity, no way… Maybe you should look in the mirror.
thanks for the tip there, but i for one would NNNNNNEEEEEEEEVVVVVVEEEEERRRRRR cheat on my husband. not a chance. no way in hell. no. way. loyalty & monogamy is really important to me, not ’cause of the consequences or the chance i might spend eternity in hell should i open my legs for another man….i just love & respect my husband (and friends for that matter) that much. loyalty’s the freakin’ BEST. Tiger, on the other hand, is just really bummed he got caught. he’s playin’ the Jesus card so that this thing gets swept under the rug, then he can get back to making his millions. you did hear the sneaky voicemail message he left for his hooker lady friend, right?? they say once a cheater, always a cheater, and i believe it to be true.
Uhhh, where are all the Tiger fans rushing to his side now? :D
I have an idea for VH1:
Celebrity Tool Academy: starring Ryan O’Neill, Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Bill Nye the Science Guy, and anyone from The Hills.
wait – what? – Bill Nye the Science Guy is a sorry-ass cheater too? :(
I don’t know about cheating, but his (ex) fiancee tried to kill him:

I’d like to see a celebrity that’s just been caught tell the world to fuck off and that if the rest of us peons had a billion fucking dollars in the bank we’d be tapping all the poontang we could get our hands on. Then I’d like to fuck his wife.
Agree – talk about refreshing! They might as well say it since that’s what they’re thinking anyway.
That would be hilarious!
Ya know…I think Tiger was controlled for so long by his father (who, coincidentally passed away I think about 2-3 yrs ago when all of this began), that without Daddy telling Tiger (hello…Tiger? Can we dispense with the nicknames) how to behave – the little tiger went and, as Chris Rock says, “acted like a Tiger”…
why are we surprised again?
Tiger’s dad cheated on his wife too. Like father like son.
Celebrities trade privacy for dollars when it suits them, sharing photographs of their newborns, their marriages, their successes. Then when they have a failure, as we all do, they cry foul and want to be left alone. Little babies want it both ways. They need to grow up.
He plays golf.
Yeah, right? It’s the nature of the beast.
If he only played golf, we wouldn’t know who he was. Geez. It’s time to let go of that argument.
I doubt Elin Wood is going to leave Tiger over this. She has too much to lose in all of this and I doubt she wants to give up her lifestyle.
So much to lose but HALF of it to gain ;)
Are you kidding? She would be set for life!
I suspect Tiger has a lot more to lose. Considering she went after him with a golf club, im sure he will be paying dearly for his sexcapades.
All you people that keep implying that she will get half know they signed a pre-nup, right? She would not bet getting anything even close to half
Prenups can now be thrown out, if it was deemed that a person was not in the right state of mind when they signed or or some other BS. Nothing is sacred anymore. Not your marriage, not your prenup!
Not only that, if there was an “adultery” clause, which there usually is, she can take him for all that he’s got!
Remember, when people sign these things both parties usually swear up and down that they’ll be monogamous forever.
Even with a prenup, she’s still be Rich. She’s the babymama to two kids, after all. She’ll be just fine.
It’s very sad and embarassing for her. Men cheat, then they cheat again, and then they cheat some more. If you want to have all the women in the world forever and ever you CAN! You just can’t be married at the same time.
You have to chose between having someone at home raising your kids and being there for you when you choose it, and shagging people left right and center. Grr.
Why should we have to choose. It’s obvious that we can have the best of both worlds and many do.
BABES in the WOODS. Or do I mean Woods in the Babes? I just had to say that.
Maybe Elin would rather have a loyal husband than many millions of dollars, her freedom and a broken heart. The whole thing is understandable (i.e. super famous, rich, young man cheats on his lovely, young wife while she’s pregnant), but sad.
I’m just amazed that:
A. He’s naive enough to think that he could keep his affairs a secret forever and
B. That these multiple affairs didn’t leak sooner!
Don’t these famous married men realize that the women they screw on the side aren’t going to keep quiet about it?
I always knew he was a dirtbag.
I am totally not condoning his actions, but what if Elin is lame and a bitch?
lol! I am always thinking shit like that but usually no one on this site agrees with me.
And Um below me is totally right- she fucked up his face and chased him with a golf club and broke out the back window of the car? After the 1 billion negative Chris Brown posts this post is all “you go girl”!?! That is such a fucking double standard it makes me SICK.
It would be interesting to find out what Elin is really like. Since both say virtually nothing in public, and nobody ever talks about them, I wouldn’t be surprised that she is also a contributor to their marriage problems.
It’s rare that someone is 100% at fault when a marriage has problems.
OK, so he cheated and that’s shitty because he lied to her and obviously she cared (as in: they did NOT have an open relationship), but SHE resorted to violence over it. I’m not absolving him of being a jerk, but how would it be if the roles were reversed? If HE the shit out of HER after SHE cheated? If HE bloodied HER lip and stressed HER out to the point that she hit something with her car (alcohol was NOT involved, they say). He’d be an abuser. So why doesn’t she get the label, too? He chose not to hit back (wisely, I might add — Chris Brown: take note). But, no. He cheated and that’s somehow so much worse than violence? Like I said, nothing absolves him from cheating and lying, but if she decides to “lawyer up” I hope he presses charges for abuse. He probably won’t because men aren’t supposed to get “beat up by girls.” Well, girls can hit hard, too.
Seriously? I’m pretty sure I would harm my husband if i found out he was cheating. I mean I wouldn’t kill him but I would knock him around with a golf club if that’s what it would take! And this really has nothing to do with the whole Rhianna vs. Chris Brown thing….Chris Brown really didn’t have a reason…Elin did. Plus, we don’t know the real “story”behind the whole “violence” either. Obviously he wasn’t in too bad of a shape…
@joan up there had it right — it’s a double standard. I’ll repeat myself — if SHE cheated, and HE beat her up, everything would be different. I don’t understand why domestic abuse towards men is perceived to be okay. As far as Chris Brown and Rhianna, different situations, sure, but happening so close to one another it’s impossible not draw some parallels between them.
Especially with a golf club ;)
No, you’re right. She should be investigated for domestic disturbance at least. I feel I’m justified in speeding to get to work, but I still get tickets & have to pay ’em.
I’m just amazed (still) at the women. Seriously??? Someone from Tool Academy???? That was the best you could do?
Uh yeah… I mean compare her and Elin? Why in the world…..?
These high profile guys think because they have alot of money that what they do on the side will be kept on the side. Ah! not ever especialy when there are money in gossip. I have no pitty and I think he should get whats comming to him!!!!
You know, he used to be right up on that pedestal for SO many of us, well that’s over now for me that’s for damn sure. He’s come down a few notches with this crap going on in his life. SO many of us thought he was WAY too good for this stuff, but apparently he’s just like all the rest. As some one alluded to here, “Like father like son” is what we’re hearing now about him more and more. Where his father pulled the same crap on his mother thru the years, he’s just following the same road. What a shame for Elin and their two beautiful children. His ass would have been on backwards if that were my husband too, NO doubt about it!
This one woman stuff is very hard to do for men but seems like a piece of cake for women. Why do men cheat? Men are built to make sure that there is offspring. Survival of the spieces. A biological function of the male body, and the design is to do it with several women, otherwise we would be fine hanging with one, which seems to be no problem for women to do. Why do you think men are constantly turning heads and reacting to women? It’s the strongest force in us make sure we don’t die out. Men don’t really want to be monagomous trust me when women aren’t around men ALL talk about it. Women know it too, but like to believe that their man is differen’t. He would be hooking up with every single V-Secret model if he could trust me.
OK, I’m guilty of getting caught up in the hype. But how sad is it that we (collectively) have nothing better to do with our lives than to scrutinize other’s misfortunes? How many (or few) of us would be able to go through life under a microscope and come out unscathed? Do I like Tiger Woods? Don’t know, never met him personally and can’t make that judgement. Celebrities, of any profession, should remember that like it or not they are in the spotlight 24/7. It’s unfair, but it’s the reality. But the rest of us “mere mortals” need to gt a life. What would the headlines be if you (or myself) had reporters following you around on a daily basis?
Tiger sucks! Once a cheater always a cheater! Elin, should take him for all she can and move on.
we are all human. every body can make mistake but if he realize and want to try to fix it . i think he deserve a second chance..
