Didnt he crash the car? She obviously used the driver.

I'll get my coat

New Febreeze selling point, too fat and lazy to clean your house? Cheating on your wife?

Well there are special errr 'lady cleaners' never heard of anything like that for men!

The thing is, he really was 'playing away from home'. He was carrying on when he was away on tour, so he was thousands of miles away from his wife and he wouldn't have seen her for days after seeing whichever woman it was he was carrying on with. There really wouldn't be any physical evidence. He'd be wearing different clothes, it's not as if any of the women would have been traveling in his car or anything. The only way she'd know is if someone told her - and there does appear to have been a widespread agreement not to let it get into the public gaze -or if he let something slip and he's a famously reticent person, apparently both in public and socially.

I can honestly see her not knowing what was happening until pretty much everybody knew about it.

Even his caddy was unaware of any of the women. If he who travels with Tiger did not know what hope did Elin have?

Yeah, if I was the caddy and somebody asked, I'd say I didn't know too

Isn't it like Vegas? What happens on the road stays on the road. What people say and what is actually the truth ain't necessarily the same thing. If the caddy didn't know what did all the press and media know?

I am sure that if some one new that the pressure to publish would have been immense. After his crash it was the biggest story for months. That can make careers to break something that big. So I doubt that they either did not know enough to avoid being sued or they simply did not know.

That's logical but it isn't necessarily always true. Indeed breaking a big story can make a career but doing so has consequences. Essentially, every action has a reaction. When this was all going on, Woods was the biggest sports star in America, arguably the biggest sports star in the whole world. That gives him an awful lot of political power. If Wood's PR company had basically told the editors of Golf World & etc "If you break this story, Tiger will never speak to any journalist from your magazine ever again and we will make sure that his sponsors withdraw advertising from your magazine" do you really think any editor would have been brave enough to publish? I rather doubt it. They aren't the Wall Street Journal. There's no 'public interest' moral high ground to take.

Look at how the story came out - it came out because the police were called to deal with the car crash. This is a matter of public record, not something that can be hushed up. Once it was out, journalists who didn't have a vested interest could get hold of it and wouldn't have any reason NOT to publish - Tiger Woods never talked to them anyway. I don't know how his wife found out but I do know one thing - if they'd just had a row indoors and broken a few plates and etc. instead of him crashing his car, I'm pretty certain we wouldn't know any of it.

Yes but there would have been a public interest moral high ground aspect. He was marketed as a family man and this damaged that reputation. Look at the numbers of sponsors who dumped him as a result.

There would have been magazines like National Enquirer who do not care about future stories if they can break the big story. They have done that a few times in the last couple of years. It may have been known about but not sufficiently for it not to be sued over. As you say once it became public record the flood gates sprung open.

He actually promised magazine covers if they sat on the story. The press knew for ages but kept quiet about it.

If you trust someone why would you suspect anything? If you suspect someone then you don't trust them so you shouldn't really be married to them.

Besides, being the most famous golfer in the world he would have been away a hell of a lot, playing golf, functions, promotional work and so on...

There is also the fact that some people in that situation are in denial. Because if they do admit it themselves they will have to do something about it and as a mother with 2 small children she had good reason to turn a blind eye. I know this as that's what happened to my Mum. She knew my Dad was cheating but as I was a small baby she chose to stay with him 10 years before doing anything about it.

It's not always a case of if you don't trust someone don't be married to them. You don't know how you would react unless you were in same situation.

And a lot of excuses to travel alone.

Hang on, isn't that exactly the sort of behaviour that Christian website says points to him being a big gay man?
