Did Tiger upset his missus?

I don't understand all of the fuss? So, he isn't perfect - big whoop. I don't believe he ever marketed himself as being perfect, perhaps more wholesome than he obviously was - but again, big whoop!

Why do people really care so much? It's a shame that people enjoy cutting others with success down. Let the man be
 
Huh? No fuss? He gets paid millions to turn up to a game of golf. And to hit a Nike ball. And to shave with a Gillette. I'm sure that razor saves lots of kid in the Sudan. Or, pays for that private plane. Hmmm.

Accept it, and take it!

I am absolutely confounded by the hypocracy.
 


The market is never wrong. This is the fair value that has been assigned to Woods - is he paid not to cheat? Is it his job to be a saint? Where in any of his contracts does it state that he needs to be ever-perfect?

He has worked hard, and he has a gift - and it is not an obligation to give anything back, sorry. I hope he enjoys his private plane.

Again, back to the topic of being paid millions just to come over and play, so what?
Let me ask you this, if you were asked to fly halfway around the world to spend a week doing interviews, and giving lectures on your field - would you drop everything and do it? Keep in mind that the idea of a "free trip" wouldn't entirely entice you, being that you're worth millions already. I know I wouldn't, were I in his situation.
 

i am sure his sponsors will be providing helmets and body armour for his use during the brief stays at his home..

as long as she doesnt smash him to pieces leave him to bruised, they will allow him to sell their products..

he cant complain about getting away with with a close shave in any case
 
Nyden, imo, once someone accepts the public life, they are public! Whether that be a sports person, actor, or politician. They each accept the benefits and the shortcomings. It's a payoff situation. Once you accept one, you accept the other. There's no going back. It is law.
 

I do not believe that, but for arguments sake - I will entertain the notion.

Why is the public so bloody concerned! Why the media circus? Are peoples lives so $$$$ing pitiful that matters as trivial as this have become their focus? Of course, because we live in the 'A current affair' age, don't we? The hoards of morons feed on this, and it's pathetic.

Nyden while I don't really care who he roots, he has crafted his image very carefully to take advantage of the millions on offer from sponsors and while that may be good business sense, now he has had it blow up in his face I think it is a bit rich that he is asking for privacy.

It's more the way he portrayed himself to sell himself, can't expect to be left alone now. Happy to take the fame & fortune but this is the risk he takes when it all goes wrong, if he doesn't like it he should have kept it in his pants.
 

Again, that's irrelevant. The public may pry to no end; but why do so many people actually care?
 
Does a public person ever sell themselves for a story? Quite a few publications would not exist...

Tell me the link between Tiger and Gillette? A close shave makes him hit straight? No, he's taking advantage of celebrity, that is all.

I agree that hitting a tree is trivial. Absolutely!!

It's what is being uncovered that is not.

Tiger has SOLD himself on being a clean cut, respectable, perfect, elite, sportsman in order to gain maximum sponsorship and appearance money. The highest paid sportsman in history based on his skill AND his persona.

Gee, I really hope this is all a load of bull and nothing is going on, but if he's cocked up, then he should be crucified.
 

Of course it's trivial - even if he cheated, that's trivial too. Trivial in the respect that it's so incredibly (and sadly) common. It's not as though the man is on trial for murder.

Who cares what he's been 'sold' as. If I had a penny for every item on the shelves that's been marketed falsely, I'd be a billionaire!

It's sponsorship. The link between him and Gillette is that he would boost sales in exchange for a fee. But, you already knew that.

Why is he famous though? Is he famous for being a fantastic family man, or a loyal spouse? Although he's sold himself as that, he is in fact famous for his golfing abilities. His golfing abilities should be under constant scrutiny, not his relationship, nor his family life.

I'm still finding it hard to believe that people care so much! I don't care if he boinked 1000 broads, it's none of my business! And, I use Gillette!
 


your buying into image success and marketing,

tiger wood brand is worth a fortune..

if his wife is smashing his head in with a club and causing him to be hospitalised, its not trivial..

your way off... way way off..

this is a marketing disaster for the brand,

whats interesting is what spin you use,,

the best one is to admit you have done it,, that was done these last hours..

next you have to publicly apologise.. stay tuned

then you have to donate money to real good charities and causes.. stay tuned

then get out there and win and get into photos with reputable people, like the us president asap..


all good to watch..
 
The Honeymoon

A couple was on their honeymoon, lying in bed, about ready to consummate their marriage, when the new bride says to the husband, "I have a confession to make,I'm not a virgin."

The husband replies, "That's no big thing in this day and age."

The wife continues, "Yeah, I've been with one guy."

"Oh yeah? Who was the guy?"

"Tiger Woods."

"Tiger Woods, the golfer?"

"Yeah."

"Well, he's rich, famous and handsome. I can see why you went to bed with him."

The husband and wife then make passionate love.

When they are done, the husband gets up and walks to the telephone.

"What are you doing?" asks the wife.

The husband says, "I'm hungry, I was going to call room service and get something to eat."

"Tiger wouldn't do that."

"Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"

"He'd come back to bed and do it a second time."

The husband puts down the phone and goes back to bed to make love a second time.

When they finish, he gets up and goes over to the phone. "Now what are you doing?" she asks.

The husband says, "I'm still hungry so I was going to get room service to get something to eat."

"Tiger wouldn't do that."

"Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"

"He'd come back to bed and do it again."

The guy slams down the phone, goes back to bed, and makes love one more time.

When they finish he's tired and beat. He drags himself over to the phone and starts to dial.

The wife asks, "Are you calling room service?"

"No! I'm calling Tiger Woods. To find out what the par is for this damn hole."
 

Of course it's a marketing disaster - my point is that it shouldn't be. What I am trying to express here, is that it's pathetic that people are so engulfed in all of this.

It's going to require a lot of work, and a lot of spin (as you've said) to work the plebs over. Of course, 3 months down the track - the media coverage of Tiger will be replaced by stories of dodgy tradesmen, evil banks and their interest rates, and Tiger will be back to being paid millions to wear a pair of shoes.

... at least, until some other "publicly owned" celebrity makes a mistake
 

your absolutely wrong

the strength of the tiger image was the father son story, winning for his deceased dad.. the magnificent and unprecedented athletic ability of winning, and the wholesome image of the man himself.. you cant go around screwing and get away with it marketing some products.. so there will be brand damage


if the spin doctors can hold it together then maybe sponsors will stay, but imho they are in no rush right now to cancel, they will gauge this one carefully..

things may change for him quickly..

maybe he can become a pr0n star.. enter a new market..

lets see where this bad boy will go now..
