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......

dang, PGA eating their own there!
Screaming “IN THE HOLE!” is going to take on a whole new meaning at the golf course from now on.
When I saw the quote: “He’s a phony and a fake” I thought it was about 0bama.
glove. just one. :>
Sometimes the USGA comes up with "interesting" pairings for the US Open so perhaps Crane will have to play with Tiger in the first round. LOL!!!
What happened to “it’s just sex” and “everybody does it” when the Fornigate deniers defended Bill Clinton’s “clean” image?
Hell, they could work it into the commercials. "Baby, I gotta get out of here. My wife's gonna be home at 6. How do I know? I have a Tag."
So now they attack Tiger’s wife.
Says a lot about those guys.
Nothing fake about Tiger WINNING against these creeps.
They want to drive him off the tour to enrich themselves.
Watch how quickly Tiger goes through that billion bucks. Gone, gone ,gone, and nothing to replace it with! Makes a fella feel bad..
Tiger Woods’ father did a masterful job of nurturing his child to be a great golfer; he just missed the part about raising his son to be a good man.
Idolized from the age of 3 for his athletic prowess - who should be surprised that Tiger believed he could do no wrong.
As for his *friends*.....??? They just turned a blind eye, a deaf ear, stayed quiet and waited for the implosion...how cowardly.
Gee if the #51 and #141 golfers say so. You don’t suppose jealousy plays any part in this, do you?
By the time this is over Tiger will be hustling $5 Nassau matches at the local public course and teaching old ladies at 20 bucks an hour.
Sorry but the creep in this story is Tiger.
But then again, faith clouds a lot of judgment.
But then again, she's apparently sticking with the guy when it is clear she knows about the other women.
My point being is that there is room for fair suspicion about Elin
“They want to drive him off the tour to enrich themselves.”
True dat.
That being said, I for one would not miss him. To me he is like a stain on a blue dress.
I mean ......honestly?
None of the guys on the Tour believe that this is a conventional marriage, that's for sure.
Women in houses in the middle class ‘burbs put up with 100% bastards for less than Elin might. Cheating husbands are very common, physically abusive husbands too- and foolish women enable them and go back for more ‘for the kids’ and because they ‘love them’.
As for golfing ‘friends’ turning on him- well- wonder how many of their private lives could stand the scrutiny? Think this is making other golf widows wonder what their men are doing on tour??
What is this, dump on Tiger week? He’s still one of the top golfers in the history of the game. It’s hard to believe all the people who have suddenly found a reason why they don’t like Tiger.
