The continuing revelations of alleged Tiger Woods infidelities has placed the golfing megastar's management team in what one insider called "panic mode" early Wednesday morning.
Despite the release of photographs of Woods looking a bit too friendly with a woman in a Las Vegas nightclub, and a recording — allegedly of a phone call Woods made to former "Tool Academy" reality show alum Jaimee Grubbs — the Woods source insists "Tiger still believes stonewalling the press on this is the best approach."
• Also, don't look for Woods' wife, Elin, to be moving out of the couple's Windermere, FL., mansion anytime soon. The links legend's spouse is reportedly being paid a hefty seven-figure amount — immediately transfered into an account she alone controls — to stick with her husband.
On top of that, my source indicated Elin Nordegren Woods, the mother of Tiger's two children, has demanded — and is getting — a total rewrite on the couple's prenuptial agreement making the incentives for her to remain Mrs. Tiger Woods even more enticing.
At this point, the couple needed to remain married for 10 years in order for Woods' wife to collect a splitsville settlement of $20 million. I'm being told that time frame has been shortened — and the dollar amount increased "substantially."
• Perhaps most important of all, the Woodses have already begun intense marriage counseling — at their home — with a counselor who has been conducting sessions several times daily.

Aside from being a helluva golfer, Woods is the Barak Obama of the PGA. An awful lot of guilty-feeling people liked seeing a “black” man (mixed ancestry actually) succeed at a “white man’s game”. There are plenty of people that would emerge given the absence of Wood’s shadow.
Cheetah Woods.
You are correct.
Judging by his “whoring ways” I do not understand WTF he ever got married!
NOW I do not understand WTF he is trying to STAY married!
He obviously likes a LOT of skank booty on the side.
Note to Elin-
You may not find a RICHER man, but you CAN find a better man! He WILL cheat again!
To me, the whole situation is priceless....
Cheating on your wife and getting caught
Getting smacked down by your wife
Fleeing your wife and wrecking your truck
And paying a hefty price for the to keep her
LOL

The Florida Highway Patrol has concluded its investigation of the vehicle crash involving Mr. Tiger Woods. The investigation has determined that Mr. Woods is at fault in the crash. This afternoon, FHP issued a uniform traffic citation for careless driving to Mr. Woods.
Any person operating a vehicle upon the streets and highways within the state is required by law to drive in a careful and prudent manner so as not to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person. Failure to drive in such a manner is defined as careless driving. Careless driving is a moving violation and upon conviction may result in a fine of $164 and four points on a driver's record.
This was a single vehicle crash, with a single occupant. Unfortunately, it is one of thousands that occur in our state each year. Mr. Woods has satisfied the requirements of Florida law by providing his driver license, registration and proof of insurance to us. With the issuance of the citation, the Florida Highway Patrol has completed its investigation into this matter.
The FHP is not pursing criminal charges in this matter, nor is there any testimony or other evidence to support additional charges of any kind. After reviewing the evidence available to us, and in consultation with the Office of State Attorney Lawson Lamar, it was determined that there was insufficient evidence available to issue a subpoena for additional medical information that may exist in this case. We cannot speak to the existence of any blood evidence, nor are there claims of domestic violence by any individual.
The Florida Highway Patrol will not conduct additional press conferences or interviews on this matter.
A copy of the crash investigation report is a matter of public record and will be finalized and available to members of the media by noon tomorrow for $10. Additionally, a supplemental package of all photographs taken at the scene is available as a matter of public record for a fee of $105. Media representatives wishing to obtain these documents in person may contact the Florida Highway Patrol Office located at 133 South Semoran Blvd., Suite A, Orlando, FL 32807.
Media representatives wishing to obtain these documents via e-mail must submit a certification form attesting to your eligibility as a member of the media, and a form with the required credit card information to facilitate payment. Requesters should submit both forms to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles headquarters in Tallahassee via fax at (850) 617-5108. The Department will e-mail the requested information to the requester as soon as possible upon receipt of payment in the order in which we receive the requests.

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.
Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.
But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.
Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.
I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.
The Florida Highway Patrol and the neighbors said the following...
First, the FHP (Florida Highway Patrol) said that Tiger was to be cited for careless driving... LOL... (I bet...), but there are no criminal charges.
They said they is not any other testimony or evidence for supporting charges of any other kind other than the charge of careless driving. So, that pretty much excludes everything else that was mentioned about the clubs and whacking Tiger and spousal abuse.
And also, since the people who live in that particular ritzy neighborhood have attorneys like we have paperboys (us ordinary people)..., the next door neighbor had their attorney give this information from them. This was the neighbor who actually called 911.
According to what he saw, Tiger did not appear to be driving under the influence and Tiger showed no signs of being in a fight. In addition a spokesman for the FHP said that there were no claims of domestic violence (despite the rumor mill around here on Free Republic).
The neighbor said that Tiger's injuries were consistent with the accident that he was in. And he also said that nothing looked like he was beat up by his wife... LOL...
The neighbors went out after hearing the crash and Tiger's wife was there and asked them to call 911 for her. The neighbors said that Tiger's wife was consoling Tiger, at the time (I guess while waiting for the ambulance) and was upset from what happened (i.e., the accident).
The neighbors apparently got a blanket and wrapped Tiger in it and also made sure he didn't move (a typically good idea in these kinds of accidents). The neighbors were also emphatic about Tiger's wife being very concerned for him during that time.
It looks like, to me, that the neighbors got the attorney to do the speaking for them to the press so that the press wouldn't be hounding them... :-)
You can see the story in the article at the website...
Nope. It was that drunkard Teddy so he could marry Vickie.
Math challenged alert, math challenged alert!!! Let’s say TW took home $40mil/year (and he’s never been close to that) for 15 years (and I think he started in ‘97). That’s $600mil. The billion eclipsed last year includes endorsements.
Ooh, is the counselor's name "Fifi"? /sarc>
Unless the problem was that Mrs. Woods was, well, "a difficult course to play" so that Tiger never got to [insult your favorite golf-based double entendre here]; in which case, bringing in "a pro" to help show her how might make sense.
Not to me; to all the late-night comics who don't want to slam Obama, and so need another topic to discuss.
Cheers!
In the Church can annul a Sacrament. Sometimes the Sacrament of Marriage is voided, this has nothing to do with the civil recognition of the marriage. The status of any children never changes as the couple was legally married in the eyes of the State.
The Church sometimes nullifies a Sacrament. This does not effect the status of the children, they do not become bastards.
Calling steve-b. Steve-b, who was the first poster to care.
I found it interesting. Thanks, caddystacks.
Who’s the counselor; Tony Compolo?
I refuse to judge him unless I could walk a mile in his shoes. Of course I’d need to be worth a billion dollars and have super-babes hitting on me all the time.
“He was recalling that Joe Kennedy Sr gave a million dollars to Jackie Kennedy when she was fed up with her husband’s philandering.”
According to her cousin, Joe gave her $1mil/year to stay with Jack.
When Joe was incapacitated Jackie went to Rose and demanded the $1mil. and she told her to go to hell.
Jackie went upstairs, came down 5 minutes later and told Rose to shove her million up her ass and announced she was marrying Onassis.
Tiger Woods put all this emphasis on PRIVACY because he was smart enough to know he is boring (by his own admission) and is little more than an empty suit. And because he has something to hide (as NE and others have revealed), with the number of alleged mistresses now at 3.
