    So says NY Daily News, some interesting stuff in here but I don't know how credible:

    I kinda of hope Elin leaves and Tiger embraces his inner villian. Just grow the goatee, wear the sunglasses and the "I shaved my balls for this?" t-shirt to his first post-Elin tournament. Cursing up a storm, telling the people who boo to eff off. The whole nine. WWF style.

    How great would that be?

    It's amazing she's lasted this long without filing papers. She probably gave it an honest shot, but with the neighbor and the commercial, that was probably enough. Hell, it was probably enough already, but this just snapped her into "What the hell am I staying for?"

    I don't get why she's still with him. But as a veteran reader of tabloids, I don't know if this gives anything new about the marriage, although the details about the commercial are interesting.

    Wouldn't be surprised? Uh, no shit. And it's the same type of quote from a "friend" we've seen about 100 times in the last five months. In two weeks we'll probably here they had lunch together again and Elin's warming to him, until the next report about him banging a caterer.

    I could go for it, as long as he blasts Mickelson with a chair on the 18th tee at Pebble Beach. He can form a heel tag team with John Daly. It'll be great.
    Oh, and Jim Ross has to call all of Tiger's tournaments.

    I'll bet he told her, "Just wait until after The Masters." Because, who knows, we might not see him until the next major.

    Be cool if he joined forces with John Daly traveling the country in Daly's RV.

    When the movie comes out Nick Nolte could play Daly and Eddy Murphy could play Woods.

    Except Murphy and Nolte are too old.

    Not to be a nit, but Triple H is currently one of the most beloved faces in WWE. He's played a heel for a lot of his career, but he's been a big face for a large portion of his career as well.

    I'm thinking Tiger is more along the lines of a Randy Orton. He's currently getting cheered by fans, but still has the sinister mannerisms and wrestles like a heel. Orton is also known as "The Legend Killer," which is a role that would fit Tiger well considering he's attempting to break Nicklaus' record while dominating fan favorites like Mickelson. :D
