Tiger leaving the Tour

AP GOLF WRITER
Tiger Woods is taking an indefinite leave from professional golf to work on saving his family, using the word “infidelity” for the first time in a statement posted on his Web site.
Woods says he is aware of the disappointment that “my infidelity” has caused to his wife and children. He says he might not be able to repair the damage, but he wants to try.
He did not disclose Friday evening how long of a break he would take from the PGA Tour. He again asked for privacy, saying his family would need a “safe haven” to try to heal.

When will the gossip rags report on Tiger's hot texts with Doug Ferguson?

So, glorious return at the Masters, anyone?

 

[Songbird]

So maybe The Sun was right?

So maybe The Sun was right?

Uh, no. The Sun is rarely right.

No.

That will have to be the proof that it was a serious act, not an Urban Meyer special

Smart. Now the focus can move from How Many Hos-in-One Did Tiger Bag to When Will Tiger Play Again? And everyone who wins a tournament can feel bad because it will be like the Rockets winning the NBA title during Jordan's "retirement."

"Family" meaning herpes, right?

He'll be back by Augusta. Guarantee.

And boom goes the dynamite?

Sweet, now we can finally get the focus on the other great golfers who don't get the attention they deserve, who are just as entertaining to watch and do the same things on the course Tiger does.

 

[Simon_Cowbell]

He'll be back by Augusta. Guarantee.

I doubt it.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

One thing about the Masters. ALL the golfers bring their families. So he might not show up.

Unless Elin can grow multiple, varied vaginas, I don't think he's long for his "family".

And of course, he did it at 7 p.m. on a Friday night.

That's pretty old-school for a media savvy group like Tiger and Team.

Like nobody was going to notice or react.

He'll be back by Augusta. Guarantee.

By announcing his "break" while the Tour itself is on the verge of its short break, he does set this up.

Maybe he and his handlers think this announcement will quiet the media reports, then his handlers can spend January and February hammering out Elin's compensation for staying or going. Perhaps he'll start by calling Kobe for suggestions on a good jeweler.

All that taken care of, he's ready. He gets back on the course for a "triumphant!!!!" return at Augusta, finishes in the top 10, steals all the headlines and settles into the same groove he was in before.

Back in the saddle, he starts rebuilding the harem by June, and he's rolling again.

Good riddance. I hope this lasts forever, the piece of crap. I don't expect it to, but I can hope.

Totally agree. Like taking a hiatus from baseball in November.
