I can't believe people are condoning this (alleged) domestic violence.

They wouldnt if reversed, so I wonder why they do in this case, IF true.

Really good story about this "incident" in the Miami Herald

When Tiger Woods and scandal collide, truth becomes the victim

"The news-gathering landscape has mutated so quickly and so absolutely, at once enhanced and contaminated by the immediacy of everything from texts to Twitter to TMZ, that America's most famous athlete this weekend went from suffering a serious injury in a car accident . . . to suffering a minor injury in a car accident . . . to being ``fine,'' according to his agent . . . to reportedly being unfaithful to his wife . . . to maybe having his face scratched by his angry wife . . . to being rescued by his helpful wife from his crashed car with a golf club . . . to having his car smashed up by his betrayed wife and her golf club . . . to not being any kind of ``fine'' at all.

....In the modern age, there have been very few famous people whose face we know more but whose personalities we know less. That has been by design. Rest assured, you haven't heard from him yet because his handlers are trying to figure out how and what to handle. Forbes magazine reports that Woods is the first-ever billionaire athlete, and that face is too valuable to have scratches from a domestic dispute without explanation."

She hit the car and also the back windshield and he lost control trying to get away. . Of course my wife is glad she smacked him around . It will be interesting how the media reports this. Just when you think someone might have his act together this happens.

OMG!!!! He is actually human and NOT GOD!!!

People make mistakes....

It's the media and folks like you that build these people up...and then no sooner than they make mistakes us "regular folks" make EVERY SINGLE DAY .....they shoot them down as if they are just committed child murder.

...the ONLY difference between them and us is money and a skill. They drink, eat, bathe and put on their pants like anyone else.

I don't build any sports figure up. In fact, The truth is many are not nice people to be around. But if Woods and his wife lied to the police I have a problem with that. And it will be ESPN and other "Sports" outlets that will defend Woods even if he broke the law.

I guess pro golfers can't have car accidents? Get some real news!

I don't think THEY lied...their "people" lied for them to avoid the bad pub, I am sure the LAST thing Tiger and his wife, IF IT REALLY WAS A DOMESTIC ISSUE, were thinking, "gee, I wonder what the public with think...?"

And EVERYONE has jacked up these poeple as godly figures. At one point I DID the same, until I started working with these professional athletes on a day-to-day basis. Like I said, they are NO DIFFERENT you or I. AND...."many of these folks are not nice people" is an assumption by your part. I would say 99% of the athletes I HAVE come in contact with, professionally and personally, are good people. They are weary because alot of the strangers that approach them initially, are looking for something OTHER than just a simple "hello" and a handshake.

I am sure ALL of you would be a tad apprehensive TOO if some came up to not say "hello, nice to meet you....." but, "hi, I am a big fan....can I have....."(autograph, picture, sign my cast, sign my book sign my arm, sign my breast....you name it).

If they lied to the police about really happened they will be charged. If she told the police that she pulled Tiger out of the car after she smashed the rear window but in fact didn't she will be charged.

But this is not just about a Golfer having an accident. And Tiger enjoys the spotlight because he's a great golfer. He also has to deal with the down side of it as well. Too bad for him but it's the price they pay for fame.
