Tiger Woods is a golfer. He administers nothing of interest to national security. Nobody cares who pays him. Nobody cares about Tiger Woods at all.

This is akin to the Chewbacca Defense:

"Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookie, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does NOT MAKE SENSE! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does NOT MAKE SENSE! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does NOT MAKE SENSE!

If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests. "

It's just a matter of trading one red herring for another.
