Official Tiger Car Crash/Infidelity Thread

[Chas]

Which just shows how wrong your assumptions can be. I find it a most pleasant subject

ooops, I meant to say

un pleasant of course. Freudian slip? Punishment: 1 hour of practicing up-and-down's out of a wet bunker .... Pipe': yeah, but just think of the viewership. Always money to be made somehow ....

The following was posted on another forum purportedly by a friend of Tiger's agent, Mark Steinberg.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A buddy of mine who is good friends with Mark Steinberg. Tigers agent. Who knows what to believe anymore, but this is interesting.

On Thanksgiving Day, after he and Elin and the family had Turkey Dinner, he spent the rest of the afternoon on the couch watching football and texting Rachel. After each received and sent text message he would clear his message box to rid himself of the evidence. Sometime in between there, one of his Orlando buds called him to see if he wanted to get together at the Clubhouse to play poker with the guys, to which Tiger said yes. Tiger left the house around 7:30 to go play poker, and left behind his cell phone....and one message he had forgot to delete from Rachel.

When Tiger returned home around 11:30 -12 that night, Elin confronted him about the text message in the phone, and the started a heated discussion to its regards. According to what I was told, there was more "incriminating evidence" than just the text message (i.e. photos). Tiger tried to play it off to Elin by telling her she was reading too much in to it, and did not know the story, etc. Tiger went upstairs to chance into his gym shorts and t - shirt, came back down, and Elin confronted him again; to which Tiger gave the same story. Tiger sat down in a chair in the living room, and Elin sat acorss from him urging Tiger to just come clean. Tiger stayed to his guns and denied everything. At one point Tiger turned away to look at the TV, and as he turned back, Elin hit him on the right side of the face with the head of a 9 - iron. When she struck Tiger, she put a huge gash in the right side of his face next to his nose (causing his nose to bruise some), and virtually knocking two of his upper teeth out, and breaking the bone on the upper right side. Tiger ran scared as hell out of the house (which is why he had on no shoes) with Elin swinging the golf club thoughout the hallway to the garage (i.e causing the severe damage which has been reported). Tiger hoped in the Escalade and tried to leave; and as we know Elin knocked out the windows in the Escalade. When Tiger crashed, Elin panicked and was not sure what to tell the police (which is why there are two conflicting stories from her). When this happened, Elin immediately called Mark Steinberg to tell him what happened, and Mark told Elin to tell him what hospital they were going to, and he would meet them there.

Tiger is transported to the hospital with Elin in the ambulance, and as they arrive Mark is there waiting for them. The people from the hospital and the doctors take Tiger in for X-Rays etc to check out the damage caused. The doctors tell Mark there is not much they can do to repair the teeth and the gash, but the doctor knows a cosmetic dentist and plastic surgeon in Phoenix who will make Tiger look as if nothing happened. Tiger tells Mark to get the jet ready and lets head to Phoenix to get this done. Friday after Tiger is released from the hospital, he does not return home, he and Mark board the plane for Phoenix. If you remember FHP kept showing up at Isleworth to talk to TIger, and was told by another FL attorney (who Tiger hired for PR reasons) Tiger was not ready to talk. Well now we know why, he was in Phoenix, and did not arrive back in Orlando until either late last Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. The surgeries were more intense than what they had originally planned, which meant Tiger was in PHX longer than he should have been. Upon arriving back in Orlando, Tiger and Elin have been in intense marriage conseling sessions (up to 6 to 7 hours a day) every day! Both Tiger and Elin have told the conselors they love each other, and want to make the marriage work. The reports you are reading on TMZ and RadarOnline are about 30% accurate at best according to Mark.

In regards to Tiger's boat being in Palm Beach this week, along with Rachel; that part is true. However, Tiger is not on the boat, and is not in Palm Beach; and Rachel is not on the boat. Her parents live 6 blocks from where the boat is, but that is it. Tiger has not returned to his house at Isleworth since the day of the accident except for the therapy sessions. IMG has enlisted the assistance of one of its most recognized sports figures, and Tiger has taken up residence in his neighborhood; Bay Hill. IMG contacted Arnold Palmer because of the high regard in which Tiger holds Arnold. Arnold has agreed, and IMG has said if anyone can get through to Tiger, Arnold may be the only person who can based on his public persona when he was at the height of his game as well. The moving trucks being shown on TMZ and RadarOnline are moving out pictures and furniture which was damaged during their Thanksgiving Day argument; not of her moving out. Yes, Elin has retained a divorce attorney, but has not filed any papers, and as of yesterday had no intention on doing so. Tiger has not made any public appearances or statements due to the surgery and plastic surgery he had in PHX. It will be about another month if not more before he gets in front of a camera. Yes, Tiger is hitting golf balls late at ngiht at Bay Hill out of their teaching center (which is equipped with lights).

That is as up to date as I have........

This Tiger story has made the PGA pause much shorter.

Couldn't help but give it the old

with the eyes when I read that. Possible? I suppose, but when it gets passed on by third and fourth parties one has to wonder.

[Chas]

hmmmm .... plausible indeed, but why post here? News of the World would pay good money for that material.

The scary thing about all this is the many golfers getting hooked on tabloids. Tiger has a LOT to answer for.

Seriously now, I would indeed expect Tiger to protect her as much as possible after such a dust-up, if that's what really happened. At least that doesn't disappoint the expectations.

Also explains his non-appearance all this time, which frankly has been mystifying. If this is the reason, 100 p.c retraction of a certain earlier remark is in order.. Opposite inference would apply in fact. Talk about taking it on the chin .....

[Fatphil]

the only people who should be happy about all this are the ones who have been screwed over by the corporate beat that was Nike/TW. That is kelley Tilghman or Fuzzy Zoller.

That doesn't make any sense. People should be allowed to get away with making inappropriate race-related comments because the target of those comments cheats on his wife and then isn't seen for weeks at a time?

[Three Putt]

I thought TW and Kelly were buds. She had a slip of the tongue, I honestly think she had no idea what she was saying.

Fuzzy on the other hand has always seemed like a bad used car salesman or a bad life insurance agent to me. What he said was definelty racist with the("fried chicken" or whatever the hell they eat comment). Hopefully he has changed, he has daughters that are in their 20's and he might reflect and see what a spoiled ass he was back in the day... but he damn sure didn't mind the good ole boy network. Whatever...

I'll leave that post up (partly since I responded), but let's stick to the topic here guys. That this thread has died down is good news (for golf), I think.

the boat was in Miami. he had no visible cuts, gashes, no missing teeth. He had a helicopter take him to the Orlando Magic's hanger where a Jet from NetJets was waiting for him. All magazines on board we to be taken off, all window shades drawn. The flight plan was set and changed just minutes after he got there. The netjet employees were given specific instructions to not say a word about who was actually taking the flight. The flight was booked under an alias The flight took him to Miami where his boat was waiting for him. And the flight attendant was even nice enough to give him a box of godiva chocolates for his upcoming bday. his face is fine, quit reading tmz already...

I guess even the press/gossip folks go on holidays - but now that this is behind us -

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...istresses.html - i wonder which part of his marriage counseling does advocate partying with "ex" lovers... And you know what actually good news were? If he would grow some balls and get it over with admitting he´s a DB and stand by it, instead of trying to pretend something else he is not, and go back on the course and play some golf...

An interesting, and different, slant in a recent news item for consideration:

Tiger Woods' extramarital affairs could cost you if you hold stock in a company he sponsors or a mutual fund that holds stock in those companies. A new study - not yet published in a journal - finds the market value lost to companies that had the golfer as a sponsor is already as high as $12 billion.

But - now a possible market buy opportunity?

[topspin4hand]

Tiger and Uchitel out at a club and a crowded party in a mansion and NO PICTURES?? You'd have to be a naive teenager to believe that! Any pic of Tiger this month has value in the 6-figures...

Just about the story posted earlier ("The following was posted on another forum purportedly by a friend of Tiger's agent, Mark Steinberg.") iacas is right to be suspicious: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/ask_...oods_true.html

Just heard on CNBC. Chevron will probably cut ties next they said. As a shareholder of Chevron, I hope they do.
