Being in a family of all golfers and myself included we have been the biggest fans of Tiger, from when we first saw him on the golf course in 1996. I don't think me or the rest of my family will ever stop being fans of his. We all have heard about what has happened to Tiger Woods in the past couple weeks. One of today's major athletes, one that has one of the cleanest images in sports, just got caught. The day after Thanksgiving was not only Black Friday for the shoppers but also for golf fans around the world. Tiger Woods, the very first billion dollar athlete, was caught. Caught cheeting at that. He was caught cheating with not only one women but with as many as three. But how can one of the biggest names in sports get caught doing something like this? Not only were golf fans upset, but anyone who respected the game of golf and Tiger Woods were shaking their heads at the newly polyamarous Woods. Early in the morning on black friday Tiger Woods got in a car crash, not with a car but with a tree. You may ask yourself how something like this could happen. Well there are many different stories circulating, but the truth is that Tiger and his wife were experiencing a domestic dispute and she tried to attack him. After Tiger ran out of the house and got into his car his wife chases him outside with a golf club (probably Nike). He in a moment of panic, crashed his car into a tree in his driveway. The next day cops came to Tigers door, and Tiger and his wife refused to talk to the cops, and anyone for that matter, concerning the crash.Should you have the right to deny talking to a cop after something that serious has happened?
If your Tiger Woods maybe. But what I'm tired of is this being all over the news since it happened. The more and more its on the news the more and more embarrassing it is, not only to Tiger and his family but to the game of golf. By now everyone is familiar with all the facts so why keep telling us again and again.I think its time to leave Tiger and his family alone and let them figure things out like all other regular american families would have the right to do. If this happened to anyone else people would move on, but in this case when you hear the name Tiger your not gonna think of "the" Tiger, instead you will think of "the cheetah"

I agree with your post, people are making way to big of a deal out of the whole situation. They should let the man have his privacy, he made the same mistake that millions of other people have and should not have to pay for it like this, he should deal with it with his family. He is a remarkable athlete and should be known for that solely, others who put him on some high pedastel are unfair to him and the sport of golf.
I agree with both your post and Alex. Sports and his personal life are two completely different things, and should not be tied together. Tiger Woods is still one of the most famous athletes worldwide, and the best at what he does. Personally, I was upset when he announced to take a break from golf. The media should leave him alone and he should be forgiven for the common mistake he made.
