As I heard one journalist say, he wanted it all. He wanted championships, fame, money, image, indulgence; a lifestyle that gave him everything. If he was single this would hardly be worth batting an eyelash at. But to squeeze every last commercial value out of himself he got married. What a freakin idiot.


Kreskin, even that could be arranged. He could have talked to his bride before getting married. He could have said, look, this is purely a marriage of convenience, for the sake of public image, publicity. I am free to fool around with whoever I want, so are you. I will live my life, you live yours. That could be written into a prenuptial agreement, if she blabs and leaves him, she gets nothing, but if she keeps her mouth shut for ten years and then leaves, she gets 20 million $.

Now, maybe his current wife may not have agreed to it, but I am sure he would have been able to find some woman who would be willing to be his wife for show only. If he had done that, he could indeed have had it all. He could fool around to his hearts content and also portray the good, clean wholesome image that he wanted. He would have been able to fool people at least for a while, for the duration of he prenuptial agreement.

As you say, what he did was purely idiotic, purely dumb.

I think there could be a debate about an agreement like that. Not sure it would fly in law. Sounds more like extortion and slavery than marriage.

JLM, I have no problem with a man sleeping around, having sex with several women. Each to his own, and assuming the women are willing partners, it is nobody’s business.

However, then why did he have to get married? He is filthy rich, he could have lived the lifestyle of a rich millionaire playboy. Or did he think that it looked good for his career if he portrays the image of a family man?

He was essentially living the lifestyle of a playboy anyway, even after getting married. Then why the pretense of marriage?

I don't have any problem with it either, he can jump in front of a cement truck for all I care. His wife obviously frowned on it. YOu can't dictate another person's morals.

Holy crap! That sure sounds ethical and principled.

You have a lot to learn about life, S.J. As soon as you start deceiving the public, you are on a slippery slope and inevitably will be eventually found out. Teddy Kennedy followed the same procedure and it didn't take long & I'm sure he had as much money as Tiger, at least in the beginning.

I think any prenuptual agreement is out the window now. Tiger's wife will have no problem showing extreme mental cruelty.....I mean she is nurturing children and he is hopping into bedt with every bimbo that shows up. He will have a hard time proving himself a devoted parent. or devoted to anything but what is swinging between his legs.

Mental cruelty? He slept around. That's hardly cruelty.
It would all depend on what the prenup says - nobody would sign a prenup with a sports figure without considering the possibility of affairs.

She could possibly argue breach of contract, or perhaps frustration of contract (or a marital contract law equivalent). He obviously had no intention of fulfilling any marital vows. I have no doubt she will end up with a hell of a lot more than the terms of the prenuptial agreement.

It will depend upon how smart her lawyer is, juan.

No, you have a lot to learn. All these politicians, public figures, those who portray the image of family man, happy family life, do you seriously think that they are all for real? This kind of thing (two people staying in the marriage just for public, just for show) probably happens quite often, we only find out about it when one of the spouses squeals.

It wouldn’t surprise me if many public figures stay together with their spouses just for show.

And how is Kennedy's example relevant? He was involved in a death, not adultery.

And just what is extortion or slavery about it? There are people who practice open marriage, it is all consensual. In open marriages, the spouses are free to fool around with anybody they want.

If he found a woman who wouldn’t’ mind the lifestyle similar to open marriage, I hardly think that would come under extortion or slavery. Now, if he forced this lifestyle on some woman what you say may be right. However, if it is consensual, I don’t’ see that there is a problem.

As I speculated in my previous post, at least some public figures probably live such a life style, where they are together only for the sake of the image, but they fool around with whomever they want to. We only discover it if one of them squeals.

"He was involved in a death, not adultery."- How certain are you about that?

We don't know if he was involved in adultery (indeed, can we know that about any politician? Can we definitely say, beyond any doubt that Harper or Obama is not involved in adultery?). However we do know that he was involved in a death (only we don't know if he was responsible for it).

Okay, in your last post you said he didn't and I kind of have a hunch maybe he did.

Marriage isn't a personal services contract.

The thing is that 'hardly' and of the journalists or other media knew anything
much about tiger at all, only a handful were allowed interviews, and even then
they were given a small block of time, and only allowed to talk about golf.
Majority of journalists who showed up at tournaments just because he was there,
never ever managed an interview at all, and didn't even see him 'other' than on
the course.
He never talked to any journalist about his personal life, or anything else, other
than golf. Interesting story in todays vancouver sun talking about that aspect
of his life, written by a journalist who 'did' have a little closer relationship
with Tiger, and still did not know anything about his private life. He said the
only thing he ever found out about Tiger, other than golf related, was that 'he'
is an independent.
He had strict rules about interviews, and never did anything for 'free'.
He flew by private jet, and when driving 'he' drove himself.
Even with all that privacy, when behaving such as he did, somewhere along the way,
it will kick you in the butt, as it has.
If he and his wife had an agreement for an open marriage, this problem would not
have come about, as she would have been aware of his lifestyle, obviously she was
just as much in the dark as the rest of us.
