Tiger Needs To Speak Up, No Matter What The Truth Is

Entry 47: Golf

For the third time since his one-car accident early Friday morning, Tiger Woods has canceled meeting with state troopers.

While Woods and his wife, Elin, have decided to delay speaking with the police, many rumors and allegations have been flying around the web and newspapers; some claiming Woods was having extramarital affairs with a woman from New York; others claiming that the accident was just a cover up for a fight between the two that resulted in Tiger getting hurt.

He issued a statement online today saying that the accident was his fault alone, and that he is "human and not perfect." Tiger also called his wife "courageous" for helping him following the accident, and that she was not to blame despite reports.

However, he failed to address the lingering questions involving why Woods was out of his house at approximately 2:30 a.m., and why his wife would use a golf club to break the back window of the car.

Tiger's silence is not doing any good, and he would be better off coming out and telling whatever the truth is, even if it involves a fight and a cover up or an affair, rather than let people sit around and make assumptions. If the claims out are false he should have definitely made sure to come out and refute them with a statement he wrote himself.

Woods has a lot at stake with the news that comes out of this accident, with millions of dollars in endorsements in jeopardy. When Kobe Bryant was accused of sexual assault, he lost endorsement deals from many of his sponsors, including Sprite.

The fallout from Woods' accident could produce similar results.

It hurts me to think a class-act guy like Woods could cheat on his wife, whom he has a child with, but no matter what the deal is, he needs to come out and let people know what really occurred early that morning.
