One of the world's most scrutinized professional athletes, with a pristine image, has been keeping infidelity under wraps. Many wonder how he pulled it off.
As the carefully constructed public image of Tiger Woods continued its excruciating free fall last week, one question perplexed those who think there should have been hints of trouble: How was it possible for Woods, among the world's most scrutinized professional athletes, to keep his infidelity secret for so long?
Just about everyone is at a loss: the golf writers who banter with Woods (when he allows it), golf fanatics who can tell you which way his golf ball's Nike logo was facing when Woods chipped it into the 16th hole in the final round of the 2005 Masters, paparazzi whose paid informants can sniff out a straying spouse a mile away.
How was Woods, 33, able to maintain a pristine image as a loving husband, father and son that was apparently at raging odds with his private life?
Some say Woods' famously controlling nature allowed him to philander unsuspected. (On Friday he admitted publicly that he had cheated on his wife.) Some wonder whether intimidated golf reporters never pressed Woods because they did not want to risk losing the little access they had to the sport's premier practitioner. Some believe that fellow players, had they suspected, would have kept mum because of Woods' beneficial effect on TV ratings, their earnings and public interest in golf.
Others think the singular nature of professional golf itself made it possible for Woods to create a nearly impenetrable zone of privacy -- or secrecy.

It’s amazing how Tiger is discredited for indiscretions, while Bill Clinton emerged from his unscathed.
People close to Tiger knew.
The press knew about Babe Ruth, Rock Hudson, Liberace, the Kennedys, Edwards, etc.
They know about Obama and other dirty politicos.
They keep their mouths shut because they have skin in the game and they want continued access.
I don't think one has to be a hater, though.
Don't we all share a ;ittle glee when the hypocrits
are exposed of being guilty of what they have railed
against.
“I agree...his wife knew..Have been saying right along that they have (had) an open marriage.”
I have a hard time believing that - if it were true, why would she be so angry?”
How did Bubba keep his?
He only buried a few...
“if I remember reading right she was very offended by him sending someone else to see if she would meet him.”

That certainly was his M.O.
too bad that faux pas didnt reigster with her enough to spurn his advances. I’m sure she’s happy to have two children now, but not feeling good about being mega-publicly humiliated.
“How was Woods, 33, able to maintain a pristine image as a loving husband, father and son that was apparently at raging odds with his private life?”
Many on the golf tour were aware of Tiger’s escapades as was the media. But let’s face it Tiger being the best golfer and being a man of color......no msm would dare expose him for fear of being racist.
HIS MONEY, AND THOSE WHO CARE MORE ABOUT MONEY THAN TRUTH, DECENCY, VIRTUE AND A COMMENDABLE CHARACTER.
LOL. Perfect!
huh ? he got married 10/2004. the secrets didn’t last that long. Stopping them from being public lasted that long.
That might have been more OFFER than REQUEST. Apparently, he is the one who has $$$ as the top priority.
If the latest reports are anywhere near being true, after Christmas she is outta there.
Does anybody really think he cares about anybody but himself? Seems she and the kids were just props--and they did make him look a lot better than the truth!
Tiger got the exact same massive cover-up as Obama gets:
if a billionaire cant keep his life secret
The press also was silent about LBJ’s pathetic affair and about JFK’s romps.
I have to wonder openly - if TIger tapped so many woman for so long - how did he avoid bringing home a STD to wife and children?
Not that he cared in the first place. Now his wife has to worry what else Tiger gave her besides 2 shildren?
“Tiger was always tight with money. When we’d go out for dinner, he never left a tip or he’d ask for the meal to be complimentary because he was ‘Tiger Woods’. http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news/636127/Star-bedded-Jamie-Jungers-as-father-lay-dying-in-hospital.html
And you are elated.
BTW: wa·zoo (wä-zÅÅ') n. Vulgar Slang The anus. Your screen name seems apropos.
However, the intensity with which one manifests "glee" certainly can be construed as hate.
Hypocrisy is generally defined as a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess. We have seen that in many an evangelist/preacher. IMO, Woods does not seem to fall in this category for obvious reasons.
Tiger's a scumbag and his hypocrisy has been exposed.
Just because people here comment on the whole wretched affair doesn't mean that we are elated. It's an internet forum. We comment on everything.
Actually it's "Grand Wazoo" meaning large anus.
