However, until someone shows hard evidence that he was with this Rachel chick or a "call girl" I will choose to believe that it is not true.

I don't care whether it's true or not either, doesn't affect me in any way. He created his own image and because of that image was paid very well. If he did something stupid and tarnished that image it's his own business. If the media rush to dig up the story that's their business, he knew it came with the territory and I won't feel the slightest pity for him. I don't follow golf, I have no dog in the hunt and don't care either way.

Tiger is not playing this week. Speculation will continue to run rampant!

bingo. you can't on one hand benefit handsomely from being considered an upstanding citizen and then on the other hand say this is a private matter and no ones business.

You also can't accuse someone of something without hard evidence

The special treatment his case has been given by the police and the stalling and secrecy about the situation tend to lean toward a very embarrassing escapade that ended with him driving his vehicle into a tree. I know there is a lot at stake here for Tiger, both in terms of privacy and possibly some of his endorsements. It is beyond likely there is something he is trying to keep from being made public knowledge and his attempts to hide whatever really happened are only the driving the story. When you see smoke it usually means there is a fire somewhere.

I will also add that when someone is taking measures to cover up or keep secret the events that led up to the incident it very often a way to conceal the very evidence you need to make the accusation.

I agree, but none of us know the whole truth and unless a crime was committed or the couple separates, we never will

If there is baggage in his closet the media will pursue it and it will come out. This might just be a case of Tiger trying to protect his wife from possible charges, if this is the case the question then becomes what set her off? Women do not like to find out the man they married is seeing other women, this falls in line with the speculation Droski offered based on what he heard from "sources" of his. It makes as much sense as anything else at this point.

No it hasn't, and whether he realizes it or not Tiger has made sure this story will not go away quickly. Blame the media and those who speculate all you want but Tiger himself deserves equal blame, it is all a part of being a celebrity and enjoying all the benefits it brings.

If Tiger cheated on his wife, that is a moral issue that could lead to civil liability for him in a divorce proceeding. But it is not, in and of itself, the public's business since there is no law against it.

If she punched him in the mouth, threw a glass at him, or whacked him with a golf club, that's a criminal violation and involves public issues since that is against the law.

In terms of the law you are correct. My argument is he is a celebrity and it is common knowledge that when you make your "deal with the devil" and become a celebrity you are given special attention both positive and negative. When something like this happens questions are asked, when there appears to be an attempt to hide something and cover it up they only dig harder and more fuel is added to the fire. Tiger may believe this isn't the public's business and he may very well be right. This is the media's business however, this is what they do, I'm not saying this is right or wrong but it is known fact and Tiger was fully aware of that.
