re: If U were Advising Tiger W....

what would you tell him?

How's this:

Tiger, your wife is likely to seek legal separation after Christamas. Try to negotiate a settlement w/ her that is quite lucrative for her and would keep her and your children in the US rather than have them move to Sweden as is currently being reported. Voluntarily disregard the prenup. Then allow the separation. If a reconciliation works out in the future, great. That would be awesome for you and your family.

Have a public press conference, and admit that many of the claims are true and that you through your own selfishness caused this situation and that you cannot fault your wife for divorcing you.

Then state you will spend the near future doing some serious soul searching and probably some in depth counseling.

Furthermore, during this time you are going to recommit your self to golf and will not only play but play far more tournaments than you had in previous years. Also maybe state that you are not going to seek or accept any endorsement deals for a minimum of the next calendar year.

Then tell them you'll answer questions for the next hour but after this press conference you will never speak about these matters again.

Then GO PLAY GOLF!

Addendum: You still have a few hundred million dollars. Use some of it to make a few of those skanks lives a little more difficult.

i guess so. but with plastic surgery nobody would recognize him and he could live a quiet life.

Unless the forthcoming revelations involve dudes or underage girls, he hasn't done anything that a man can't live down with time. I don't think the marriage is salvagable, but that doesn't mean he needs to leave his whole life behind. Assuming nothing too shocking is coming out, he follow specs' original advice make some "I love my wife and my children, but realize that I am not currently mature and selfless enough to be a good husband. I still have some wild oats to sow". Get divorced, make sure Elin gets a fair share, fade off for about a year, and come back winning.

Nope.

James Carville said it best regarding Tiger: "Shut up. Don't say a thing."

Regardless of TW, golf will go on and will continue to gain strength. Never has there been so many talented young players.

Incorrect. Yes there are a lot of talented, young players, but when Tiger is in or near the lead of a tournament the TV ratings are twice as high as when he is not.

So yes, golf will go on but it will not gain strength without Tiger.

Advising him depends on what he really wants to do. If he truly wants to reconcile with Elin, he needs to do whatever it takes. Those of you who do not have kids cannot understand. Even if he is not 100% about reconciling, he is looking at the possibility of rarely getting to see his children. I would do just about anything to keep that from happening.

Unless the forthcoming revelations involve sheep or premeditated murder of a human being, he hasn't done anything that a man can't live down with time.

Fixed it for you.

Bill Clinton didn't take time off when he admitted his transgressions, why should Tiger? If he wants to hit every thing in town, a divorce would be a good way to go. I don't think he needs to share his reasons with anyone in the mean time. He needs to keep his mouth shut IMO. The chicks talking about him are skanky whores looking for their 15 minutes. If he doesn't confirm what they're saying, everyone will assume they're at least half lying anyway.

Nike has so much money tied up in the Tiger equipment and apparrel, they are not going to drop him. Period. I agree with Tiger's decision not to speak out publicly. If he wants to leave his wife, he should do it. If he wants to sleep around, he certainly will not be the first athlete to do so and there's no way he'll be the one with the most instances either.

What I do not agree with is Tiger's decision to take time off golf (unless he's been disfigured by a beating from the wife). Golf is the one thing in his life that's not screwed up right now. I'd keep doing that. Plus, sitting around the house with the woman who knows you've been screwing a bunch of whores does not sound like fun. Golf would get him out of the house at least.

I don't feel sorry for Tiger, and I'm not disappointed in him. this will blow over before the PGA folds for lack of interest.
