How Tiger Woods' life unraveled in the years after father Earl Woods' death
That's the question that will shadow him for the rest of his life. The answer is complicated and layered. He fell victim to many things, some well-known and others deeply private: grief, loneliness, desire, freedom and his fixation with his father's profession, the military. These forces started working in Tiger's life almost as soon as his G-IV landed back in Orange County after he buried his father's ashes. The forces kept working until finally his wife found text messages from Rachel Uchitel on his phone and he ran his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant (that car, incidentally, is owned by a man in rural Arkansas, who bought it used from a local dealer, neither of whom knew its own secret history). -- ESPN

Your Say
Well, as I always say, If you're losing money broadcasting sports, monetize misery. Scavengers.

When winning is everything the first sacrifice is principle. They are so easily discarded these days and it seems very few people care enough to shun the unprincipled as nobody has any backbone.

I like Tiger Woods and wish him well. However his story is so much easier to understand. He was young, he was rich and he was good looking. His problem was between his legs and between someone else's legs. it is the oldest story in the world. If you are married and want to stay married then keep it in your pants. If you want to fool around get a divorce as amicably as possible and go for it. And last if you F-up then fix it as good as you can and move on. don't hang on to your past problems learn to get past it all and do your job.
