Bill Clinton tried to hip Tiger Woods to game


Reportedly, former President Bill Clinton recently reached out to disgraced golfer Tiger Woods to offer him support and advice in the wake of his recent sex scandal.  Unconfirmed reports have the president, no stranger to sex scandals and infidelity himself, telling Tiger, "game recognize game and your game is looking kinda unfamiliar right now."

Everyone hates Tiger


Tiger Woods is scheduled to give a statement this morning at 11:00am on ABC, NBC, CBS, and ESPN regarding his recent scandal and his future in the sport of golf.  Players, sponsors, and members of the media alike are all speaking out about their displeasure with his timing and handling of the "press conference." 

Ernie Els  did not mince words when telling Golfweek his opinion on the timing of the Woods statement; Woods scheduled his appearance on the Friday of the Accenture tournament in Broken Sound in Boca Raton, Florida.  "It’s selfish,” he said. “You can write that. I feel sorry for the sponsor. Mondays are a good day to make statements, not Friday. This takes a lot away from the golf tournament.”

The Golf Writers Association voted overwhelmingly to boycott today's conference due to a breakdown in negotiations over the terms.  Journalists are angry Woods will be speaking via closed-circuit camera from a location a mile away from them and will not be taking any questions.  They released a statment saying in part:

“I cannot stress how strongly our board felt that this should be open to all media and also for the opportunity to question Woods,” said Vartan Kupelian, president of the 950-member group. “The position, simply put, is all or none. This is a major story of international scope. To limit the ability of journalists to attend, listen, see and question Woods goes against the grain of everything we believe.
The GWAA also believes strongly that its presence, without the ability to ask question, gives credibility to an event that isn’t worthy of it."

The public criticism marks a shift in the usual deference afforded Woods in the golf world and could mark a permanent end to his overwhelming power and dominance in the sport.

Gatorade unveils a new Tiger-inspired label



Gatorade was one of the first sponsors to drop Tiger Woods as a sponsor after his multiple mistress sex scandal hit the newswires.  Now, it seems Gatorade is adding salt to his (golf club inflicted) wounds.  Bottles of Gatorade bearing labels saying "Un Faithful" have begun appearing on store shelves in Denver, Colorado.  The company has sought to have the renegade bottles pulled from shelves saying they must be the work of a prankster.

Tiger is costing you money

Superstar golfer Tiger Woods' sex scandal involving upwards of 17 alleged mistresses may have cost shareholders of the companies he endorsed as much as $12 billion in losses.  Research by economics professors Christopher Knittel and Victor Stango of  the University of California, Davis, released a study Monday estimating the economic losses of Woods' main sponsors since revelations of his extramarital affairs surfaced around Thanksgiving.

“We estimate that shareholders of Tiger Woods’ sponsors lost $5-12 billion after his car accident, relative to shareholders of firms that Mr. Woods does not endorse,” the researchers wrote, adding that millions of shareholders were affected. Tiger Woods is estimated to earn around $100 million a year through endorsements alone.  Many of his sponsors have pulled their endorsement deals in the wake of the scandal.

It's all going up in smoke, so Tiger may as well take advantage



As Tiger Woods' personal and professional life goes up in smoke, an Orlando, Florida-based cigar company has offered him an endorsement deal for their tobacco products.  Here is an open letter from their company:
While Corona Cigar Company does not condone Tiger Woods’ extra-marital affairs, there is no denying that Tiger Woods is one of the greatest golfers of all time. (And let’s not forget all the good that Tiger has done with his generous charitable contributions.)
We respect the Woods family’s privacy and wish the best for them as they go through this difficult time. With support from the community including local businesses such as Corona Cigar, we hope the healing process may begin.
With that said, we believe that Tiger Woods will soon return to the golf course. Nothing pairs quite as well as enjoying a premium cigar on a golf course. Many of our customers are golf enthusiasts and many golfers are cigar enthusiasts.
We hope Tiger Woods accepts our offer to be the official spokesperson for Corona Cigar Company.
The company has offered Woods a $100,000 endorsement deal.  Too bad they don't realize that won't even cover his monthly data plan bill for texting all those women...

Tiger may be expecting a cub



One of Tiger Woods' 17 alleged mistresses, Rachel Uchitel, may be expecting a baby according to Star Magazine.  Rachel has been spotted near Woods' massive yacht, aptly named Privacy, in the Palm Beaches in Florida.  Uchitel denied the claims, telling gossipcop.com a very succinct, "I'm not pregnant."

Off topic:  is that a red sole I spy on those peep toes?  Maybe she can do a re-make of JLo's "classic" Louboutins.

Surprise, Surprise...Tiger's Daddy Cheated too...


Now we know where Tiger learned how to swing.

More than a decade before Woods was outed as a serial philanderer, his beloved father was caught cheating on his mom, the golfer's high school girlfriend told E! News.

The revelation left a teenage Tiger devastated.

"He would just call crying and say, 'My dad is with another woman,' and that would be really all he could say," said Dina Parr, 34.
"He would be so upset, so I just tried to be there for him and listen to him."


This is proof that Tiger, his boy Chuck and Air Whore-dan played 'rent-a-becky' as Sir Charles poses with one of the Tiger 16 (as of today), Jamie Jungers.

Meanwhile, Elin has hired celebrity attorney Sorrell Trope and remember the California crib? Guess where Elin is relocating, has a lunch date with Shaunie O'Neal and circumventing the pre-nup for up to $500 million in no-fault money?

Tiger Woods' doctor arrested on drug charges


Tiger Woods' doctor, Anthony Galea, was arrested at the U.S-Canadian border on drug charges after he was caught in possession of Actovegin, a performance enhancing drug made from human growth hormone and calf's blood. Dr. Galea is now accused of administering performance enhancing drugs to numerous prominent athletes across the sports spectrum. The investigation is ongoing.

Exclusive: Police are quietly building a case against the Woods


Planet Jackson Worldwide News has learned exclusively from inside sources that complaints against Tiger Woods and his wife came from officers responding to the scene of the crash. According to our source, when officers finally questioned Woods and his wife, Elin, their stories did not match up and Nordegren changed her story about the sequence of events repeatedly. This raised suspicions of domestic abuse prompting a call to Child Protective Services.


According to our source, outside investigators were brought in from surrounding counties to avoid a conflict of interest and the investigation is ongoing. The Woods' planned departure to a secluded island in Sweden will not preclude their obligation to co-operate with the investigation into the welfare of the children.


Contrary to published reports in the mainstream media, the police are not buying Tiger's story about what happened and he is going to have to answer for more than his infidelity. Woods remains holed up on his massive yacht moored off the shores of North Palm Beach, Florida. The yacht is ironically names, "Privacy."

Tiger Woods' Caddie is backing away


Tiger Woods' long-time caddie, New Zealander Steve Williams, is now distancing himself from his boss admidsts calls for his sacking in the wake of the Woods scandal. Williams came under criticism from ESPN sports columnist Rick Reilly, that a number of Woods' staff members need to be fired if he wants to save his marriage:

"[Woods] needs to clean house," Reilly wrote in ESPN Magazine. "If he wants to keep his wife, he has to get a new agent, a new caddie and some new friends...It's hard to believe all this went on without their help or knowledge."

Woods attended the kiwi's 2005 wedding, but now Williams says Woods' scandal has caused tension within his own marriage. Williams also says that he knew Tiger had a problem and tried to talk with him about it, but he had no specific knowledge of the affairs:

"The media has made it very difficult for my family. There is no question about it, Williams exclusively told the New Zealand newspaper the Sunday News. "Obviously, I understand Tiger has got a problem. And we [Woods and Williams] discussed that. What people fail to realise is I [just] work for Tiger Woods ... I am not with him 24/7. ... When he is not competing, I am back in New Zealand. I have no knowledge of what he is doing."

Personally, I think Woods' entourage may or may not have provided cover for him on various occasions, but in the end Woods' actions are his own. You cannot hold someone else responsible for the actions of another. Tiger was the one placing the phone calls and texting, he arranged the rendezvous. He climbed into bed (or wherever) with this incredibly long list of women. He obviously knew what he was doing. Some have suggested he might soon claim to have a sex addiction and enter rehab to clean up his image. That would be the coward's way out. Tiger's situation is less one of addiction than one of an incredibly rich and powerful man who wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

Similarly, his wife Elin Nordegren's reported ultimatum that he leave the PGA tour and the sport of golf or lose his family also misses the mark. She has reportedly bought a mansion on a secluded Swedish isle accessible only by boat. Golf didn't cause Tiger to cheat, that was his own selfish ego. There is no shortage of buxom blondes in Sweden. Won't they need a large staff to serve at that mansion and to help her with the children? Without golf to occupy his time, Elin will have an even tougher time keeping her husband's zipper up.

Tiger is taking a leave


Two weeks after allegations of extramarital affairs hit the papers and he crashed his SUV into a tree outside his home, Tiger Woods made a public statement. In his statement, he acknowledge his infidelity and announced he would be taking a leave of absence from golf to focus on his family. "After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf,” Woods said Friday evening on his Web site. “I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.” At last count, the number of women claiming to have had affairs with Tiger Woods stood at 13. One of those alleged mistresses is a porn star who has made over 60 adult films. The mistress count does not include the claim of a Hollywood madam that she set Woods up with prostitutes totalling $60,000 over a two-year period and arranged rendezvous with as many as three call girls at a time for Woods.

Would you want to see how Tiger's swinging?


Can you believe he kissed his baby with those lips?


Life & Style Magazine issued a press release claiming there may be nude pictures of Tiger Woods out there:

Playgirl’s representative Daniel Nardicio confirmed to Life & Style that the online branch of Playgirl Magazine has received photos claiming to be Tiger Woods in the buff. “We’re currently trying to authenticate the photos before we make any decisions on purchasing the Tiger Woods pics and ascertaining the value,” Nardicio told Life & Style.


Once they authenticate, prepare for Tiger's reputation to speed up its swirl down the drain.

Tiger Woods must be hemorrhaging money

Tiger Woods must be hemorrhaging money now that many of his sponsors have pulled his prime time ads. Since June, Woods has appeared in 15 different product spots that aired regularly during prime time evening television, but they have all disappeared. His last spot was a November 29th commercial for Gillette razors. This is bad news for Woods who is easily the most recognized sports figure in this country and possibly in the world; according to Bloomberg polling 86% of U.S. consumers over the age of six years old recognized Tiger Woods. Maybe his wife can get an endorsement spot for Safelite Auto Glass.

What's that on the fan?!


A Tiger Woods branded Gatorade drink is being dumped, but the company involved denies it is due to Woods' alleged affairs. Pepsico Inc. is dropping sports drink named after Woods from its lineup, but the move is due to sales and not connected with the storm of publicity over the golfer's car accident and revelations of alleged extramarital affairs.

The sports drink, called Gatorade Tiger Focus, is being dropped as part of a broader overhaul of the Gatorade brand, whose sales have slipped this year, according to beverage industry publication Beverage Digest. In fact, no commercials at all have run with Tiger Woods in them since a Gillette ad on November 29th.

Meanwhile, you already know Tiger's mother-in-law fell out at the crib yesterday morning when she found out her daughter was going to leave a billionaire and move back to Sweeden.

Elin has left the mansion


They say Tony the Tiger is fixin' to change his name...

Tiger Woods’ wife, Elin Woods, has reportedly moved out of the couple’s Florida home and is living with friends nearby, according to Radar Online.

But good Woods source broke it down today when he said, ‘‘Elin has been taking a bit of a break, but Tiger and his team are still hopeful she won’t leave permanently.”

Meanwhile, even though Woods’ lifelong best pal Bryon Bell and his fiancee still want the scandal-plagued golfer to be best man for their South Carolina wedding next weekend, we're hearing Woods is hesitant — worried the couple’s big day will be overshadowed by the media maelstrom that you know will swarm all over that ceremony.

Wild Safari adds: As of 10pm last night, the number of women claiming to have had affairs with Tiger Woods stood at 10. It's a wonder he had time to practice his swing--his golf swing, that is.

SNL's obligatory Tiger Woods skit


Was SNL insensitive for running this skit with Rihanna as musical guest?
