LONDON: Tiger Woods is set to confess all his affairs and liaisons in a tell-all with Oprah Winfrey on TV in a bid to save his marriage and half his 600 million-pound fortune, according to reports.
The troubled golfer is considering an "enticing" offer to appear on Winfrey's top-rated chat show.
In a damage-repair move for his "Mr. Clean" image, he wants wife Elin Nordegren, 29, to join him on the famous sofa.
According to American TV insiders, 33-year-old Tiger will have to tell all if he is to save his crumbling reputation.
"Tiger absolutely hates talking about his private life but these are desperate times," the Daily Star quoted US sources as saying.
"Going on television is a high-risk strategy but this could be the only way out for him. His image is taking a real hit," said the sources.
Woods was under pressure after a string of babes came forward to claim he has had flings with them, and has thus confessed only to "transgressions" and apologised for his "sins."
Tiger is also desperate to try to prevent his Swedish wife from taking him to the cleaners in the divorce courts, which could lead him to share his 600 million-pounds fortune.

I had the same thought. He married her to hide his double life and get those endorsement, probably chuckled at all the fools who bought the “Mr. Clean” image.

This is the famous Escalade that Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant near his home. The interesting thing is that 2 rear windows are smashed in. That's not something that generally happens in a crash like this.
When you refer to, "these scumbags", I hope you are also referring to Don Hewitt (of 60 Minutes) who is the third party in the photo.
Subsequently, Hewitt told Don Imus on air, " let's say that we allowed the Clintons to set the record crooked."
Hewitt and Imus then yucked it up. Dirtbags all!
Only if the bimbos show up as surprise guests.
True enough, but we’re not talking about “fault” per se, rather we’re talking about who’s going to pay for it, as in cash on the barrelhead. I understand your point thought - a woman who chases a married man is either very poor in self-esteem or a home wrecker.
I wondered when he was going to announce he was going into rehab, looks like this will be the place.
“My wife and I have had very serious talks about keeping our family together, Oprah, and I have come to grips with my weakness and compulsion. She has agreed to remain in our marriage if I get some help and I have agreed to enter a rehab facility next week.”...(or something like that).
It’s the only option he has to salvage what’s left of his pristine image with the public and save a ton of money.
Exactly. Who really cares about who Tiger is having sex with? (other than his wife) I have known many men and women who’ve habitually strayed and NOT been caught. I suppose it all comes down to money in this case.
The media and the women who are coming out of the woodwork for their share of Tigers $$ are the problem. Greedy greedy greedy.
Really missed watching Tiger play this weekend in Cali. Such a great venue in the middle of winter.
That would be awesome. Imprecations and flying chairs. The Nielsen boxes would explode.
How about overtly sexually aggressive....Mrs.TW, should take civil action against all 10, for destroying her marriage...that is if she cares about the situation, money is magic medicine when it comes to healing broken hearts, and I suspect, 300 million will heal all the imagined wounds....
This has to be the DUMBEST idea I’ve seen in a while.
Tiger doesn’t owe the public this nonsense. Whatever amends he needs to make to whomever should be done face to face, in private.
Surely his wife doesn’t want to do this? Will the kids be on Oprah, too? How about the “other” women?
Making a production of it on Oprah just cheapens him further. Regardless of anything he says, his behavior puts him in the company of horny billy goats and cheating, lying scumbags, FOREVER.
Having SEX in their BED with OTHER WOMEN should CREEP EVERYONE OUT!!
He's that fast? Must cause some friction burns. Ouch!
(I'm really sorry for his kids, though. No matter how this plays out, they're likely damaged for life by this. No matter how much money they'll end up with.)
Maybe Oprah wants in on the the Springer demographics.
Tiger’s dad would be very surprised to hear you say that Tiget ISN”T BLACK!!
What about Zero and his whole destroy America gig. You don't think he gets wood over that?
Not that he needs my advice but I say, don’t do it. Exposing it all on TV is sooo over.
Tiger Mach-lI? Maybe he’ll have as many incarnations as Deep Purple.
Shouldn’t this be a Jerry Springer show?
I’ve not watched any television in years, so I guess the fights are on Oprah now?
