Tiger Woods Quits Golf Indefinitely

There were many who said that Tiger Woods would definitely eclipse the record of major golf titles held by Jack Nicklaus, as long as he maintained focus. Of course, they were speaking of golf, not mistresses. That record may be safe for some time to come, as Tiger Woods announced on Friday he is quitting golf indefinitely.

As more, and more, and more women came forth claiming an affair with the superstar golfer, the damage to his marriage, and also his commercial deals and sponsorships was escalating day by day. However, while he probably cannot stem the tide of women coming forward to tell their story, he said in an official statement on his web site that he is quitting golf to focus on his marriage and family.
After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.

Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period.
Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin, have been married five years. They have a 2-year-old daughter and 10-month-old son. The announcement comes exactly two weeks after a car accident at 2:25 AM on November 27th started a roller-coaster ride of innuendo, rumor, and sordid affairs.

It is true also that Woods has become the PGA's whipping boy, with many other golfers (not just Jesper Parnevik, who introduced Woods to his wife), critical of the revelations. However, many reports indicate that on the PGA tour, Tiger's "antics" were no secret.

The break from golf will prevent the possibility, at least for now, of Tiger Woods being booed when he reappears at a professional golf tournament. The question is: will he ever return again?

"Boo Hoo"
concerning the golf issue, this nothing more than another story to fill space in snoozepapers around the world. A very generic story.

_____________(insert name here) was _______ (insert charges here). Anonymous sources tell us tell us that ________ (name) was _________ (enter speculation here). Someone very close to the family (third cousin who heard from her hairdresser who has a friend who was looking up the matter on the internet) commented that this action could have ____________ (enter conjecture here.

Fill in the blanks and, presto, instant story for a very slow news day.

Can you see me wiping the tears from eyes?
I did not think so
