In all his years of playing professional golf, Tiger Woods has obviously learned NOTHING from the masters.
We've seen a lot of different celebrities having problems this year (Rihanna nude photos, Cassie nude photos leak, Miley Cyrus tattoo etc) but most of those problems ended up helping the celebrities involved in them either by increasing music record sales or by just increasing the celebrities overall popularity... Tiger Woods on the other hand is not getting any richer and Tiger certainly isn't gaining increased popularity from the public.
Tiger Woods went several days without saying ANYTHING at all about his car accident, the potential domestic dispute with his wife, Elin Nordegren or about all the rumors of his extra-marital affairs. Tiger did eventually release a statement though on his website saying...
"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.
Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.
But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.
Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.
I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology."
The truth is though that most celebrities know that there is NO such thing as private... Honestly, I don't even think the word 'private' should be in a celebrities vocabulary at all.
Cassie Ventura immediately issued a response after nude photos of her got leaked on the Internet. Within 48 hours Cassie made a post on her website saying...
The recent personal pictures that have been leaked on the internet of me were hacked and stolen out of my computer. These photos were obviously never intended for the world to see and it’s sad that people would really take time to steal and post them, it’s just evil. At the end of the day breasts are breasts, mine weren’t the first you’ve seen and they won’t be the last… people need to grow up, let’s move on. Thank you.

A year or so back, when Miley Cyrus got caught up in the Vanity Fair scandal... Miley was quick to offer a statement saying...
"I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed."
Now Miley was ONLY 15 years old when this happened (Maybe 16) and she was still old enough and mature enough to know that she needed to say something... And what she said didn't solve the problem... But it 'helped' reduce the severity of it.
Cassie didn't need to say anything... But the statement she made received a LOT of positive responses, which HELPED her. Had Cassie Ventura said nothing at all about the nude photo leak... It would of hurt her.
Politicians know that public opinion matters... And a smart celebrity knows that public opinion matters over everything else too.
Musicians can't sell records if everyone on the planet hates them. Politicians can't get voted into office if everyone hates them. Actors and Actresses can't win leading roles in movies or television shows if the general population hates them because people won't actually want to watch what they are in and since no one wants to watch something that they are staring in... Investors would end up losing thousands or maybe even millions of dollars, which means no one would be willing to finance the the tv show or movie either...
Public opinion matters above all else... And Tiger Woods has become the most disliked man in America...
Tiger Woods has virtually vanished from television and Tiger Woods has lost his product line (Tiger Force) with Gatorade. Why? Because no one likes him, which means that NO ONE wants to buy anything that he has something to do with (that whole public image and public opinion thing again) and this means NO ONE wants to invest in him either.
It's possible that the public has the wrong idea about Tiger Woods. It's possible that the affairs are just a creation of the media or possible that the women that are claiming to have had affairs are just seeking some of the millions of dollars that Tiger has gained over the years.
Unfortunately though, Tiger Woods is so busy trying to stick his driver in different holes right now that he's totally forgotten to stick it in the one hole that truly matters... Public Opinion.
It obvious though that Tiger Woods is like an old-school medieval king though... He cares about himself and he doesn't give a damn about the people he's supposed to be governing (all of his fans).
I guess when push comes to shove... Tiger Woods is the world's dumbest and most egotistical celebrity. Cassie Ventura, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Chris Brown and MANY other celebrities were at least smart enough to offer some clarification for some of the mistakes they made, which is the only reason they aren't as hated as they could have been... Like Tiger Woods is now!
