    Haha,bye bye Tiger.
    Whenever this foul mouthed petulant philanderer gets back on the course you can bet there will be a few catcalls.
    It will be interesting to see how he reacts.
    Maybe Stevie will charge in there and get 'em.

    i don't know if you play golf.



    i can't imagine how he handled a family, mistresses and all that money, and was still playing the best golf of all time. he is a robot.

    At this point who knows what is true and what isn't? Look how 6 months ago no one jumped on the admission of a pornstar who also slept with Kevin Cossener that she slept with TW. At this point anything is possible between Elin and TW. However if she does wants something like this, she's a fool cause how else did she get the 100 of millions from a divorce. She got it through TW dominating the world of GOLF.

    Peace
    it would make it seem like she's not in it for the money... maybe she DOES want to save their marriage. I know she's a gorgeous blonde and, if he wasn't a famous golfer, HE'D definitely be the lucky one... however, isn't her mom a prominent politician in Sweden... she doesn't come across as your typical money grabbing wife after the divorce settlement... sounds like she actually wants to try saving their marriage first... and perhaps the problem lies in the tournaments he plays somehow.

    Agree with this. Think the problem with the tournaments is that with two very young children his wife no longer goes off to all the tournaments with him and this is what gives him the opportunity for the philandering.

    I think it's not so much asking him to give up golf but asking him to give up travelling without her all the time ... which means having to give up golf. He has destroyed any trust in the marriage so there is no way their marriage could be fixed if he was off travelling the world constantly.

    He's making a choice to prioritise his wife and children ... finally.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I always view people who make this choice only after being caught with a ton of skepticism.... Maybe it is a wakeup call for him, but I doubt it.

    It's not like he had a one off affair with someone he worked with and got caught... apparently he was getting his hangdown worked every chance he got.

    I agree it was very much a forced choice if nothing had come out I'm sure he would have happily carried on as he was.

    I guess I meant he was finally having to consider what he was doing to his family. and not just go out emjoying himself and have them waiting for him when he comes home.

    It doesn't matter what her motives are, asking someone to give up the biggest talent they have is wrong. Especially if it's exceptional (as his IS) in the general population as well.

    Having to give up golf would probably freak him out completely. He's been playing and winning since he was a kid. It's been at the center of his life. I don't think any wife could really fill the gap that quitting would leave.
    maybe she wants him to stop making golf the center of his life and act like a human instead of an amazing golfing robot. might even be the best thing for him. for awhile anyway.
    Yep... if my husband and father of my two kids was cheating on me with the usual line up of classy women :? his talent and maintaining it would be the LAST thing on my mind. Perhaps she's given up the years of their marriage supporting him and his talent. Perhaps now's the time for him to put his FAMILY first. Family comes before talent surely?

    Yep... he hasn't had to face up to his cheating ways before... it's one thing being a cheat and nobody knowing about it and getting away with it. It's another thing facing up to the mother of your kids with the whole world watching... and then probably having to answer to your own family, your friends, your peers and having your whole world fall down cos of your stupid actions!

    It's actually nice to see a celebrity couple deal with their problems in a responsible and normal way. I especially like how Elin's been dealing with it so far. It can't be an easy time for her at all.

    I haven't really been following this story much. But after reading this thread, what do you think the odds are that eventually he'll come out saying he had a sex addiction, has been to rehab, has worked through his problems and is now in a happy and fulfilling relationship with his wife.

    Back come the endorsments, back comes the popularity and the career is full steam ahead.

    Just a thought. I'm not saying I'm right.

    for him there is tons of pressure. with millions of dollars on the line, you see so many other golfers cave after four days on the last few holes. its never affected him, i doubt this will either.

    and its kinda interesting to define what pressure is. losing one's house doesnt usually come down to one definable moment, its more like a prolonged anxiety, so you could say there is more pressure in a golf putt ( which very often costs one a job).

    yeah, but if he never played another competitive round (i.e. lost his "job"), he's still set for life.

    I'll admit it....I've never liked the fucking guy.

    NEW YORK (AFP) - A Canadian doctor, who helped treat Tiger Woods during his eighth-month rehab from surgery, is the subject of US and Canadian probes for selling unapproved drugs, The New York Times reported.

    Anthony Galea is suspected of providing prominent American and Canadian athletes with performance-enhancing drugs, according to the Times.

    Police arrested the 50-year-old Galea in Toronto on October 15 just a month after he was stopped on another occasion at the US-Canada border with human growth hormone and Actovegin in his suitcase.

    Besides Woods, Galea has treated hundreds of professional and amateur athletes over the years including Olympic swimmer Dara Torres, Olympic runner Donovan Bailey and NFL quarterback Chris Simms.

    He is also the former team doctor for the Toronto Argonauts, the Times said.

    It is illegal to import or sell Actovegin in the United States. Actovegin is a drug extracted from calf's blood.

    The newspaper says the FBI investigation of Galea is based on medical records discovered on his computer.

    The sources did not reveal the names of the athletes Galea allegedly supplied with the drugs.

    The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have launched a separate probe which is looking into smuggling, criminal conspiracy and the selling of unapproved drugs.

    Galea has denied providing athletes with performance-enhancing drugs.

    Woods, who announced on Friday he was taking an indefinite leave of absence from golf, saw Galea four times at his home in Florida in February and March.

    Woods' team called in the doctor because they were concerned about the speed of his recovery from knee surgery in June 2008.

    When contacted by the Times, Woods' agent Mark Steinberg asked the paper not to write the story, "I would really ask that you guys don't write this?" he said in an email. "If Tiger is not implicated, and won't be, let's please give the kid a break."

    The world's No. 1 golfer announced his leave from the sport following allegations of infidelity which have surfaced in recent weeks.

    Galea is known in the sports world as a pioneer in helping athletes recover from serious injuries. The Times says he has developed a blood-spinning technique (platelet-rich plasma therapy) to help speed post-surgery rehabilitation.

    Torres said he treated her for a simple tear in her quad tendon but nothing more.

    "Excluding draining my knee, he has never treated me, but I did see his chiropractor who did soft-tissue work on my leg," she said in an e-mail to the Times. "That was the extent of my visit with him."

    Lawyer Brian Greenspan insisted his client will be vindicated.

    "Dr Galea was never engaged in any wrongdoing or any impropriety," Greenspan said. "Not only does he have a reputation that is impeccable, he is a person at the very top of his profession."
