Tiger Woods

[MC 1]

"Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means," Woods said. "For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives."

This part of his statement bothers me. If he were just a golfer who never did mega endorsement deals because he wanted to stick to some point of honor, I might be able to understand this kind of whining. But he has been all too happy to trade on his name, image, and success, to earn amounts of money most people can barely imagine. And all those skanks he apparently has been hooking up with--would they have been interested in him if he weren't famous and immensely wealthy?

 

He willingly traded away his privacy and anonymity, and he's never complained until now, when things aren't going the way he wants. Maybe he just should've behaved better.

 

Sorry, I can see that he traded away his anonymity, but his privacy? I think we're all entitled to privacy. JMO.

if she stays with him she deserves what she's got. I dont mean to justify him- not at all. But id just count her as one of the many women who were happy to marry a trophy (and be one in return) rather than a husband.

as for these guys, I totally agree- if you want to skank around, don't get married. of course they want it both ways. The intimacy of marriage and family, the trophy, and the slutting. but having multiple women and in such a short time of his marriage means he doesnt give a shit. if the only thing that stops him is getting caught in public and not that, oh i dont know, he's in love and married with kids...

Actually, the law (U.S.) recognizes that when someone becomes a public figure, they give up much of their right to privacy. One of many explanations: http://www.legal-definitions.com/civil-rig...lic-figures.htm

 

And if the law were otherwise, all the stuff we're reading and hearing about his marriage and alleged affairs would be virtually unreportable.

Woods’ wife reportedly revising prenup

Sources say couple still together, but receiving marriage counseling

he's

 

Honestly, if she's working on tightening up the pre-nup, then it seems to me that Elin's kind of a gold-digger, too. She was a 21-year old nanny when she met him. If they get divorced, whether it's because he cheated or for another reason, I would hope that she wouldn't be looking to get rich from the split... but it seems as though that's what she wants. Yuck.

Tiger: I let down my family

 

By PETE SAMSON

US Editor

 

Published: Today

 

CHEATING Tiger Woods said sorry yesterday for what he bizarrely described as his "transgressions" - as The Sun uncovered another lover.

The world's No1 golfer offered a "profound apology" in a 300-word statement as he braced himself for revelations of even more affairs.

 

The Sun can today disclose Woods has been two-timing his wife Elin Nordegren with Las Vegas nightclub beauty Kalika Moquin, 27.

 

 

The billionaire superstar, 33, has already been linked to New York socialite Rachel Uchitel, 34.

 

And yesterday The Sun told of claims by cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs, 24, that she enjoyed around 20 romps with the dad of two during a 31-month fling.

 

Woods has been holed up at his £1.7million mansion in Windermere, Florida, since crashing his car in the early hours of Friday following a row with former model Elin.

 

But in his statement, he said: "I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart."

 

He added: "I have not been true to my values and the behaviour my family deserves.

 

"I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect."

 

Woods, who projects a squeaky-clean image on the fairways and in TV ads, also denied he hit a fire hydrant and tree while being attacked by 29-year-old Swede Elin.

 

The Sun can reveal Woods met sexy brunette Kalika in 2007 when she was a bar hostess at the Mirage hotel in Las Vegas. Sources in the gambling mecca claimed the pair last met in October when Kalika visited the golfer in his suite at the MGM hotel.

 

One insider claimed the fling began when Elin was pregnant with daughter Sam, now two.

 

Another said: "They have definitely been hooking up for a while. It has been a very badly kept secret on the Vegas club scene, but everyone is talking about it now."

 

Kalika in now an executive at Vegas club The Bank and was recently named the 31st most influential person in the city's nightlife circles.

 

She refused to deny the relationship when approached by The Sun. She said: "It is difficult for me because I now work as the marketing director for a high profile hotel in Las Vegas.

 

"I am not interested in fame and am very worried anything I might say could affect my career." Locals in Las Vegas claim Woods is a regular in adult bars and VIP strip clubs.

 

Pictures of him cosying up to a brunette beauty at the Tao nightclub in October also surfaced yesterday.

 

Woods' alleged relationship with party planner Rachel emerged last week in a US magazine, which said they last met on a secret date in Melbourne, Australia.

 

Rachel denies any affair and insists it was a coincidence they were both in Melbourne at the same time. But yesterday an American website insisted Woods' firm booked and paid for her trip. And a US magazine claimed the golfer once sent Rachel an email about a dream he had in which they were married.

 

But he dreamt that he caught her having sex with baseball star Derek Jeter and actor David Boreanaz, two other celebs she is reported to have dated. Woods allegedly wrote: "Some part of me thinks you would like that."

 

Reality TV contestant Jaimee said she first had sex with Woods at his hotel in her home town, San Diego. And they last met two months ago.

 

She told how the golfer asked her to delete her name from her voicemail, adding: "My wife has been through my phone and may be calling you."

 

Yesterday Jaimee's ex-boyfriend Bradley Berman, 22, said he split with her after finding a text from Woods on her phone, asking for a rendezvous in Vegas. Another revelation came from the former editor-in-chief of Men's Fitness magazine, Neal Boulton.

 

He claimed sister mag National Enquirer "knew about Tiger Woods' infidelity a long time ago".

 

But they "traded silence" for a rare photoshoot with the golfer for the cover of Men's Fitness.

 

Police yesterday released 105 images of Woods' crash and a diagram of the route he took in his black Cadillac Escalade 4x4.

 

He turned out of his drive and mounted a kerb at 30mph before hitting a hedge.

 

He then swerved around a bend, shot up another kerb and crashed into the hydrant, before veering across the road into a tree on a neighbour's front lawn.

 

A report said there was £4,800-worth of damage to the car and £2,000-worth to property.

 

Woods has already paid his £98 fine for careless driving, it was revealed last night.

She's hurt & humiliated...probably realizes she has very little power in her marraige. I think there are advisors on both sides helping them work through this to save the Tiger Woods Brand, which she's a part of. Part of the deal has to be a consession on Tiger's part.

[theempress 80]

Bar hostess, cocktail waitress, party planner: are these all euphemisms for a far older profession? There seem to be a lot of women with little to offer beyond fake breasts and no morals who work as "cocktail waitresses" and somehow make their way into the beds and homes of rich and famous men; models, journalists, actresses I could understand, but "cocktail waitresses"??

[e-lin 1]

I agree.... a female sports reporter would be a step up. But cocktail waitress, bar hostess....come on Tiger! Give me a break.. talk about looking for a sugar daddy ! No wonder they all saved their texts and messages!! They sure saw him coming. lol I have no sympthay for him at all.

[kappy22 1]

FRONT PAGE NEWS?? Seriously? Our country is going to be sending 30,000 more troops to the Middle East and yet this story is taking up 2/3rds of my front page this morning?

 

I had as much fun aas anyone last Friday when we first heard his wife grabbed a golf club to help him when he crashed but come on ~ front page news? Enough. Just give me good skits on SNL and then let's move on. He's just not that important in the overall scheme of life - at least not my life.

 

As for all these skanks - If they want to announce that they have no problem being an unpaid escort for rich married men, then I hope every guy out there treats them accordingly. The only person I feel sorry for is his wife because I don't think she realized until last the week the extent of his cheating. She might have suspected something but you don't get that angry unless you had been believing him. What a douchebag.

Agreed. There are also 2 kids that are indirectly involved, which may be at play here as well. And honestly, it may all be moot if there's a time element involved to the pre-nup and they do manage to work things out anyways...at least for that duration

TIGER GIRL RACHEL CANCELS PRESS CONFERENCE - - $1 MILLION PAYOFF ALLEGED!!!

 

 

LATEST: Multiple sources are alleging a $1 million payoff from Tiger Woods' peeps to buy lover Rachel Uchitel's silence which is why the press conference was axed.

 

RadarOnline.com exclusively reports multiple sources say that Tiger's people are desperate to keep Rachel from talking about her relationship with the potent putter and that they were willing to go a long, long way to keep her silent.

 

How long?

 

One source claimed that Rachel was negotiating a $1 million payoff by Tiger's people to remain silent.

 

When asked, Gloria Allred said, "No comment."

 

It's also been reported Rachel's seeking a big pay day from major media pubs to give her unadulterated no-lies-bared sex-clusive.

 

EARLIER: Tiger Girl Rachel Uchitel's lawyer Gloria Allred canceled the press conference in which Uchitel was expected to confirm her client's affair with Tiger Woods, as the ENQUIRER reported in a series of world bombshell exclusives!!

 

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, the news conference scheduled for today is cancelled," Allred said in a press release.

 

"There will be no further statements on this matter."

[nickfan 25]

She's staying with him for $80 million.

 

Money talks.

[e-lin 1]

Rachael is settling cheap...only 1 million. She should hold her press conference and hold out for a lot more. $1million goes fast spent in bars and clubs.

To me her getting paid a million dollars is no different than blackmail/extortion. How do these people live with themselves?

[BobbyD 2]

NOW YOU PAY HER??? Dumbass!

 

One million dollar is going price for skanks/hos in any case. I doubt she could've gotten more from the media. She probably could've gotten more $$ if she had gone to him way back before his wife found out...

[Maxiemom 623]

I wonder what Gloria Allred's cut is.

 

[BobbyD 2]

Thinking more about this...I think his wife should bolt him. He was banging cocktail waitresses, gold diggers, etc. I mean that is bad, if not just as bad as prostitutes. I would hope they don't parade their family in People magazine, telling others how great their lives are.

 

It probably won't happen, instead we probably will have an Eliot Spitzer, Gov. James McGreevey, Kobe Bryant, Sen David Vitter, type of press conference, where Tiger apologizes with his wife looking sad, next to him...and like the wives in those situations(except Mrs. Kobe Bryant) I felt so sorry for them, because they looked so miserable...

 

So...it will be time to post a poll to see whatever thinks or hopes will happen. :4biggrin:

[mostlylurker 2]

i hear the renegotiated "prenup" includes conditions for her too, including 'acting the dutiful wife' and resenting hay family front. Um, it seems HE failed on that count.

Tiger Woods to pay his wife millions to stick by him

Peter Cohan

Dec 3rd 2009 at 3:00PMText SizeAAAFiled under: People, AT&T, Procter & Gamble

 

Count me among those who do not think highly of people who have extra-marital affairs. The "good news" is that society has a way of making people pay for such transgressions, especially if you are a guy who makes a hefty living hitting little white balls around grassy landscapes. In the case of Tiger Woods, whose middle-of-the-night car accident last week brought to light allegations that the golfer was involved in an affair, the payment is pretty steep.

 

Not only has Woods issued a public apology on his web site, but the The Daily Beast reports that he will pay his wife, Elin Nordegren, $5 million upfront and another $55 million to persuade her to stay in their marriage for another 24 months.

 

Like many couples with tens of millions of dollars in their bank accounts, Woods and Nordegren have a prenuptial agreement -- and a big one at that. US Weekly reports that the prenup is worth $300 million, but other news outlets say it's a more modest amount. Either way, Nordegren was already entitled to a nice chunk of change.

 

According to The Daily Beast, the pre-nuptial agreement they signed in October 2004 would award Nordegren $20 million just for sticking with Woods for 10 years. But now that allegations of affairs with two women -- Jaimee Grubbs and Rachel Uchitel-- are making headlines, it looks like that contract is being tossed out the window and the couple are negotiating new, more lucrative terms for Nordegren.

 

Instead of waiting until 2014 for her $20 million payday, Nordegren will only need to stay married to Tiger until October 2011 and by doing so, will get more than twice what she was entitled to under the original pre-nup, according to The Daily Beast. The new agreement would also pay Nordegren more if she stayed even longer -- a staggered schedule of payments over five years that could top $75 million.

 

Getting that grand sum of $80 million (the $5 million she's getting upfront, plus the $75 million in the new pre-nup), however, will require Nordegren to stay with Tiger for another seven years, show up with him at social events and in public as if they were still the perfect couple, and sign a nondisclosure form that will prevent her from ever telling her story.

 

From Tiger's perspective, this is probably a good deal. After all, $80 million is a mere 8% of his $1 billion in career earnings as calculated by Forbes. An earlier Forbes report indicates that Woods has won more than $80 million on the golf course. Annual prize money, Forbes says, accounts for under 15% of his income. Sponsorship deals with Nike (NKE), Accenture (ACN), AT&T (T), Gatorade, and Procter & Gamble's (PG) Gillette pay him at least $100 million a year.

 

For now, all these sponsors are sticking with him. The jury is still out on whether they would view a serial adulterer as a good image for their products and services over the longer term.

 

So if Tiger can pay $80 million to stay married to Nordegren and somehow buff his image back to where those sponsors will want to keep forking over the cash, it would be a good investment. Of course, Tiger would still need to keep winning golf tournaments.

 

Meanwhile, I wonder whether he thinks his extracurricular activities were worth the price he's paying in Nordegren's eyes.

Tiger ‘is horrible in bed’

 

By PETE SAMSON

US Editor

 

Published: Today

 

TIGER Woods was rated as "horrible in bed" by one of his lovers, it was revealed yesterday.

 

The damning verdict came from cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs, who says she had a 31-month fling with the married golf superstar.

 

The 24-year-old mistress told fellow contestants on US TV reality show Tool Academy she had also "hooked up" with George Clooney.

 

But while she was full of praise for the movie heartthrob, she mauled Tiger.

 

Telly pal Krista Grubb, 27, told The Sun: "She was showing all these texts saying they were from Tiger and George.

 

One she said was from George said, 'When can I get in there again?' He signed it G.

 

"She said she met him while working as a cocktail waitress in Los Angeles and they would meet up in Vegas and he was a lot of fun.

 

"Jaimee said George was amazing but wasn't so nice about Tiger. She just kept saying he was horrible in bed."

 

Another pal of Jaimee said Woods, 33, offered to buy her an apartment in Las Vegas.

 

New York socialite Rachel Uchitel, 34, and Vegas nightclub executive Kalika Moquin, 27, are also said to have had affairs with the golfer.

 

He crashed his car near his Florida home in the early hours last Friday after a huge bust-up with his Swedish wife Elin Nordegren, 29.

 

She is thought to be getting a total re-write of their pre-nuptial agreement and financial incentives to stand by him.

 

The couple are having several relationship counselling sessions a day.

I'm really surprised that more women aren't involved in this type of

behaviour;getting into relationships with famous/powerful men and

blackmailing them for their silence.I have a feeling that all 3 of

the women are relishing in their new found fame and notoriety.

 

These women may or may not have been skanks BUT I and most

heterosexual men would sleep with Rachel Uchitel...without a

second's thought.No question.However,it would be very casual

relationship...nothing deep or meaningful.

Well... I am not sure how to say this, but, really, I had a higher opinion of men than that. When I look at all three of these women, I see fake breasts, lots of makeup, tight clothing, and very homely faces. Tiger's wife is ten, no, a hundred times more attractive than any of these women. Seriously, I could go to a salon and get my hair and make-up done, and I would come out looking far hotter than these skanks, and I'm nothing to look at.

 

These women will be the "Real Housewives" in ten years. It's all hair, surgery and makeup.

 

So my question for the men who would have sex with these women without a second thought, asked in all honesty and perhaps rhetorically, is, wouldn't it be just as exciting and more hygienic to invest in a good doll?
