Indeed. Sure, Tiger’s wealth (putting aside his marriage status) gives him access to women more attractive than what he would normally get otherwise, but the trade-off for a man in that position is dealing with acquisitive, lazy whores who only want you for your money.
At least “groupies” don’t necessarily want anything than the rush of being around you, not your money.
One might think that a kind word or well-placed reference would have been more helpful in the long-term than money. even 100K wouldn’t hold her over for life, she still needs a real job. How do we know, except for a gold-digger’s words, that he didn’t try to help in a more productive way?
Is there evidence that Tiger was paying or gifting any of these women?
