Tiger Woods: No Shirt, No Secrets
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sports, Photos, Rumors,
Vanity Fair’s newest cover features a shirtless Tiger Woods in a stunning photo taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. The article inside the mag takes an in-depth look at the golfer’s very public fall from grace.
Brutally, the article lays out Tiger’s transgressions and the nature of his former public image, showing the two very contrasting personas. The piece then goes on, point-blank, to call Woods a sex addict “who could not get enough.”
But there is nothing in the article that speaks to the fans, nothing that remarks upon the loss of his once legendary image and the true sorrow it all evokes. How will golf lovers reconcile the perfect, professional athlete with the disgraced public figure? Until Woods himself comes forward to speak, the answer remains unknown.

Rudy Giuliani Talks Tiger
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sports,
“Hang in there.” These pearls of wisdom come from former New York mayor and presidential contender Rudolph Giuliani, who once suffered a public scandal of his own involving different mistresses, to golf superstar Tiger Woods.
“He’s going through a tough period,” Giuliani observed, saying he knew Tiger “at an early stage in my son’s career; he was very kind and nice to him.” Guiliani’s son Andrew recently enjoyed a stint on Golf Channel’s Big Break Disney Golf, a reality series wherein golfers compete to win a chance to join a PGA tour event. Andrew Guiliani was eliminated from the series at the end of Week 8.
“I know what a nice man Tiger really is, particularly with children,” said Rudy Guiliani. “My son played golf with him.”

BREAKING NEWS: Tiger Woods Takes Indefinite Hiatus from Golf
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, Rumors,
I guess the paparazzi can stop staking out the golf courses.
In a statement just posted on his website, Tiger Woods says he’s going to be taking an indefinite leave of absence from his sport:
I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I’ve done, but I want to do my best to try.
I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding. What’s most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.
After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.
Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period.

Tiger Woods Drops Out of His Own Tournament
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sports, Legal Issues, Rumors,
“I am extremely disappointed that I will not be at my tournament this week,” Tiger Woods said in a statement he released Monday. “I am certain it will be an outstanding event and I’m very sorry that I can’t be there.”
Of course he can’t attend the tournament - the media has launched itself into a rabid frenzy since his accident over the weekend, an event which has sparked rumors of everything from substance abuse to cheating on his wife.
So far, the investigation is “ongoing” and any criminal charges in the case are “pending.” Because of it, “Woods will not participate in any other tournaments in 2009 and will return to action next year,” according to a statement released from his reps. The Chevron World Challenge, the event which no longer features Tiger, will carry on as planned.
Woods was leaving his home around 2 a.m. several days ago, striking first a fire hydrant and then a tree on a neighboring property. Police have stated that the crash did not involve alcohol.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Sports, Charity,
English actor Hugh Grant flies from New York to England just to play golf. The Notting Hill star is obsessed with the game and travels thousands of miles to play 18 holes.
Speaking at the launch of his father James Grant’s watercolor exhibition at a Southampton gallery, the 48-year-old actor said, “I come out here to play golf, since I’m a golf fanatic.”
Hugh also took time to praise his 81-year-old father’s artistic skills: “I’m so proud of my dad—he’s been painting all my life. My dad, who lives in London and is originally from Scotland, follows the tradition of Scottish colorists and I really love his colors in these nature scenes.”

VIDEO: Tiger Woods Accused of Farting on Live TV
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, Television, Videos, Oops Videos,
Let’s face it—everyone experiences gas. Even athletes at the top of their game. During CBS’ coverage of the Buick Open this weekend, the cameras - and microphones - were able to catch an awkward moment between Tiger Woods and his caddy at the 18th hole.
Although something is clearly heard, and the two men are seen laughing afterward, the network has denied to TMZ that the noise came from the golfer. (CBS has not provided the name of the fall guy though.) Watch the video and you be the judge.
(You can get another angle of Woods and his caddy post-poot here.)
