For the time being, Tiger Woods' major sponsors -- including Nike and Tag Heuer -- haven't dropped him. But things could change in the wake of a messy, public divorce. In fact, many of Tiger's colleagues in the golf world have already made up their minds about the situation -- and wasted no time badmouthing their former friend. Jesper Parnevik, the Swedish golfer who introduced Elin, then his kids' nanny, to Tiger, has said he regrets doing so. "We probably thought he was a better guy than he is," Parnevik said.
Ben Crane, a PGA player, has even harsher words. "This is no surprise to anyone who knows Tiger," Crane tells Life & Style. "He's a phony and a fake and he can't retain that squeaky-clean endorsement deal any longer." Crane also believes Elin may have known about Tiger's other women. "She's no fool," Crane says, adding that perhaps Elin "turned a blind eye because of the money and the kids and the lifestyle he provides."
PGA golfer Charles Warren agrees that it may have been more than love that attracted Elin to Tiger......

The Ty Cobb of golf.
Funny how nobody has a bad word to say about Phil Mickelson
What’s not to like?
HONESTLY- This female Freeper thinks Tiger is adorable. He has a great bod, a megawatt smile and he’s cute as hell. SO there goes your generalization- lol!
But he’s got the morals of an alley cat-cute- but a slut hound I’d divorce before his bandaids fell off.
Ok, I’m blond and attractive. And no way would Tiger ever appeal to me...I’m not into black guys for one, but irregardless of his color he is dorky looking. Dorky doesnt have a color.
The $5TRILLION dollars in his bank account is his only saving grace....but even then you have to wake up with him. NO Thanks.
(putting on my teflon and ducking the incoming now...)
Ya think, Chuck?
I hope Phil is a good guy, but most of these public images are fake; ie. WH occupants.
Hey, he's by far the hottest Cablinasian I know!
I don’t think being the #51 and #141 ranked golfers in the world is a bad thing at all considering how many play. Besides, they are calling Tiger out which is a lot more than #2, #3, and #4 are doing.
I suspect we will see a lot of this.
Well...one thing we know now...he has STAMINA. Maybe Elin was just into the sex and a ‘no-lose’ pre-nup made marriage a no-brainer.
Cause he is a scumbag? I dunno...OJ was a great running back but a shitty human being should I still be in awe of his records?
Charles Warren sums it up pretty good. And I admire Ben Crane for saying what they all knew but nobody had the cojones to say.
Ditto to that.
he doesn’t do a thing for me, never has.
sounds like schadenfreude abounds; rightfully so if he’s the jerk that it appears he is.
Heuer’s are GREAT timepieces, regardless of their choice in spokesmanwhores.
The opinion that I ‘counted’ most, was Rush Limbaugh’s.
Like Woods, a gazillionaire; and a S.Florida golf enthusiast. Rush would travel in circles that would ‘know’ the real Tiger. Earlier this week, he went ‘off’ on the image...and that alot of people (media especially) knew. But that the money maker (not just on the course; but for the PGA in general and the sponsors as well) as too great to burst that ‘squeaky clean bubble.’
Falls from grace come hard and fast.
I always wondered why Tiger’s parents decided to live on opposite coasts, as soon as Tiger made them financially able to do so. Like father like son?
She gave the perfect answer. She said something like "Do you think HE would have married ME if I didn't look like this?"
And no..Tiger isn't at all attractive even standing on all his money.
sw
No kidding...really, nobody elected Tiger and, regardless of what he does off the course, he is the most exciting thing to hit this game in years!
I’m guessing these guys wouldn’t want everyone poking around their private business either. Everyone can see that he wears Nike and it looks great, we can see the clubs he plays, the ball he plays...the cars he drives (or wrecks). It makes me no nevermind about his personal life.
Clearly he has acted in a socially unacceptable way and has stated that his actions have been a contradiction to how he was raised and who he needs to be. I wish both him and Elin all the luck in the world in putting their lives back together—whether together or apart.
Well, this one doesn't think he is hot or even close to hot. I think he looks like a weasel and by hiding out like a little punk *ss girl I guess I was right.
