Tiger's mother speaks! Kind of

Take this for what it’s worth: People magazine is reporting that Tiger’s mother, Kultida Woods, has ‘told a friend’ that she is hurt and disappointed by her son’s actions, and “wants to know how he could do this to his family.” Yes, I would imagine that would be her reaction; my mother would have beaten me severely with a canoe paddle by now. If I were going to make up mom quotes and sell them to a magazine, those are just the ones I’d go with. But on the chance that these are genuine Kultida Woods reactions — hey, they could be — here ya go.


From People:

“[She] is hurt, angry and disappointed in Tiger,” the friend says. “She wants to know how he could do this to his family.”

But the elder Woods hasn’t turned her back on her famous son, according to the source: “She loves him and will support him through anything, but she needs some time to work through this.”

“It was devastating to her. She likes Elin, and adores her grandchildren. She’s worried about them. She doesn’t want to see them hurt,” says the family friend.

Meanwhile, watchmaker Tag Heuer announced today that they are officially out of the Tiger Woods business.

On Friday the CEO of the company told the Swiss paper Le Matin, “We recognize Tiger Woods as a great sportsman but we have to take account of the sensitivity of some consumers in relation to recent events.”

When the Swiss bail on you, it’s really over. They didn’t even take sides against Hitler.

    One could say all men are addicted to sex. He is certainly not the only man who has multiple affairs. Rich and poor men have had multiple affairs, lived through the crap and continued on with life. As far as his kids, probably years from now people will have forgotten all about this tawdry affair and many of us will not be around to see any of their reactions. So, why the so called “concern” about what people will think about them. An affair by the President of the United States did not prevent his daughter (who was most certainly humiliated big time) from finding true love as an adult. This too shall pass. We are only left to wonder whether the player will return and what it will be like when he does. Other than that enough of Tiger already. P.S. if
    the public would spend this much time writing about the banks, airlines, and wall street,and others “screwing us” maybe it could help turn the economy around, and we could bag some of the crooks that put the country in a financial mess.

    Tiger needs to capitalize on his situation. Look at the possibilities as far as advertising. Viagra, condoms, cell phones, beer, pharmaceuticals he takes, dental ads for tooth damage/repair, etc. He is a great pitchman. With a bit of a sense of humor, he could re-create his image a la George Foreman.
