    Why does it suck to be Tiger now?

    Greatest golfer in the world.
    Still a very, very wealthy man and will be for a long time.
    Single.

    Am I missing something?

    he probably did, now he's paying more to shut her up and have this thing go away.

    In Woods' own mind, it sucks to be him for one reason only. He has finished fourth in the last two majors rather than winning them. Nobody could make such a spectacular hash of the rest of their life unless on some very fundamental level they weren't that interested in it.

    Majors that all the Tiger fans were sure he would win.

    Well said.

    I was never a huge fan. Loved to watch him play because I love to watch anyone who excels to that level. Admired that he seemed to have his shit together.

    Now? Well, he can still play, that's for sure. But every time I look at him, I think, "Tool." I suspect I'm not alone, though I know the feeling isn't unanimous. My son remains a huge fan because, he said, "I don't give a crap about that other stuff. I enjoyed him as a golfer and I still do." Fair enough.

    I am really surprised by fact that his net worth is over a billion. That means he's earned at least $2B due to taxes and percentages paid to advisors etc.

    As for Ms. Woods, I give her credit for staying low and keeping everything out of the media. I would advise against the "how is she worth $750M?" questions, you nor anyone else did not marry Mr. Woods and did not bear his children, and was not his partner while he was earning that $2B. You knew that when Mr. Woods married her, you just ignored it until payout time.

    The funny thing about the money to keep Elin from talking - I don't think she ever would anyway. She was the one that prompted Tiger to pay off the hoochies to keep them from talking.
     
  10. You are not alone.
    I think even less of him after reading Guy Yocum's interview with Hank Hnaey in GD.

    Don't think much of Haney either.

    The two kids who will someday need all this explained to them.

    Hopefully Tiger is night-and-day different as a father than a husband. But who the hell knows?

    It is an undeniable fact of human existence that many men who are not very good husbands work extra hard to be successful fathers by way of compensation. My guess is Woods is not of those men, but it's just a guess.
