Tiger Fires Caddie Steve Williams

photo credit: cliff1066™   Today, Tiger Woods announced on his web-site that he is “no longer working with Steve Williams.”  In every PGA Tournament for the past 12 years, Williams has been on the bag for Woods  The statement reads:  I want to express my deepest gratitude  to Stevie for all his help, but I think it’s time for a change.  Stevie is an outstanding caddie and a friend and has been instrumental in many of my accomplishments.  I wish him great success in the future.”

Thus far n 2011, Williams has been carrying for Adam Scott.  Woods claimed he injured his leg in the Masters which led him to drop out of The Players Championship.  Over the past year there has been tension between Williams and Woods stemming from Woods’ indiscretions with other women.  Williams was allegedly angry when he discovered Woods was having affairs with various other women while still married.  Williams said he was “shocked and dismayed” at the news.”

When the Woods scandal broke I made a claim that Tiger Woods’ career was over, I still stand by that claim !

More Allegations Against Woods

James claims the she was 19 and working on a Christian charity project in Hawaii when she met Woods.   She eventually revealed that the sex tape was  filmed in 2008.  

This is  just one more in a long line of  revelations about the golf star's alleged philandering while being married to Elin Nordegren who divorced Woods earlier in 2010.

Woods Hits Rock-Bottom

Woods 18-over-par sets a new mark for his highest 72-hole score in relation to par.   Woods had twice previously finished with a score of 10-over-par through 54 holes.   His score of 298 for the event was the highest of his PGA Tour career.   “It's been a long year,” Woods said, as he choked up in front of reporters.   In reference to the Ryder Cup Team Woods also said, “I wouldn't help the team if I'm playing like this.   I think I can turn it around.”

Woods Grilled

The most tense moment for Woods was when a reporter said “Tom Watson said you need to clean up your act on the course.   He's gone on record.   Many of us have heard you use the F word, we've seen you spit on the course and we've seen you throw tantrums and chuck your clubs around.   Are you willing to cut out those tantrums and respect the home of golf?”   Woods replied “I'm trying to become a better player and a better person.”   Time will tell. . .

Woods Interviewed in Galea Probe

In April, Alex Rodriguez met with three officials from Major League Baseball denying Galea gave them performance enhancing drugs.   Galea, who is not authorized to work in the United States, is accused of repeatedly entering the country to treat professional athletes from MLB, the NFL and the PGA.

As of yet, no athletes have been named in the governments complaint.

A Price-tag of $750 Million

Nordegren has hired a London law firm to represent her and if successful, it would make the split the most expensive celebrity divorce, even surpassing the $600 million settlement expected to be handed out  to the wife of Mel Gibson (the case is still being finalized).  

The sex scandal  may cost Woods better than half of his total fortune.   As  of 2008, Woods' total estimated net worth  was 1.2 billion.    Several major sponsors have  alos  dropped Woods and his total loss could be staggering.

The Unreformed Tiger

photo credit: Steve Snodgrass     The 2010 Masters was an eventful major.   It dawned a new era for the new champion, Phil Mickelson and it may have spelled the start of the cascade downward for Tiger Woods.

Tiger promised the world that he was going to “change his ways.”   He said that he was going to “control his temper during play” by staying on an even emotional level during his rounds.   There was Tiger, at one of the world's most beautiful golf courses, Augusta National, walking his round with bodyguards dressed in golf attire.   Live microphones were everywhere on the course.   After  one of his  bad shots, Woods swore by using the name “Jesus Christ.”  

Has Woods reformed as he promised?   You be the judge.

Tiger’s Back ! . . .

photo credit: Keith Allison     The 2010 Masters will go down in history as the tournament that introduced the return of Tiger Woods, the modern day Don Juan.   At a news conference, that included over two hundred reporters, Woods answered 43 questions about his salacious behavior, and alleged illicit affairs with at least 14 women, several of which were porn stars.

There was one question that deserved a follow-up:   “Tiger, did you ever take performance enhancing drugs from your Canadian doctor that had been arrested for administering these drugs to athletes?”   Woods' answer was no, but the follow-up question should have been, “have YOU ever taken performance enhancing drugs during your professional career?”

Whether you've noticed it or not, Tiger doesn't have those “Hulk Hogan” muscles that he had prior to going into self-imposed exile !

Tiger’s Masters Debut

photo credit: nsaplayer     Tiger Woods has announced that his grand re-appearance to the game of golf will be at the 2010 Master Tournament.   Just weeks before, at his well staged press release extravaganza he implied he didn't know when he would play again, all the while knowing he would play the Masters.   Once again, he deceived the public, the media, his fans, once again he  has shown his ability as a control freak.

He chose the  Masters because of it's well regulated atmosphere.   Fans are not allowed to run  anywhere on the course, all concessions are sold for half prices and there is never a mention of winners fees.   There could be some real surprises during this year's  tournament.

The Resurrection of Woods

photo credit: Thoth, God of Knowledge     Tiger Woods has made his announcement that he will soon be returning to the game of golf.   He wants to do it “quietly” without large throngs of reporters asking all kinds of embarrassing questions.

What he won't tell everyone, however, is that he is a control freak, still up to his old tricks as usual.   Everything is done on “his terms.”   The April, 2010  edition of Golf Digest  played right into his hands because their latest article makes  Woods into “the victim,” instead of the perpetrator.    Of  coarse, Golf Digest could care less about the  signal their pathetic  article would send to kids.

Poor Tiger Woods, he  just couldn't help himself, he  just didn't know what he was doing!    Now lets all have a good laugh!
