If you haven't heard of the drama going down with Tiger Woods and his wife Elin in the past couple of days, where have you been? It seems like every couple of hours, there's a new update on the drama that is unfolding between the couple.
To start off the string, early last week it was reported that Tiger was having an affair with a woman named Rachel Uchitel. Then, in the wee hours of Friday morning, he got into a minor accident in front of his house, hitting a fire extinguisher and tree (who does that??), when his wife miracously comes to the rescue, busting out his back window with a golf club to save him. But wait, there's more! Not too long after the crash was reported, many reports were then linking the two events, saying that Tiger and Elin were in an argument, causing him to leave, and Elin to rush out behind him in a rage and bust the back window. THEN today, several reports surfaced of police trying to contact Woods regarding the crash. He then responded, releasing a statement basically saying he was fine and to leave him alone (with no response to the affair accusations). Hours after his statement was released, and the latest to add to the string of drama (I'm sure there will be more), Tiger has BACKED OUT of his last scheduled tounament of the year in California due to "injuries sustained in a one-car accident". *whew* Now THAT is alot of drama to happen within a week's time. I need to take a breath after all that! OK... here goes my thoughts..
Drama #1: Affair accusation - both sides (Tiger and Rachel) are denying that the reports are true, but then, Drama #2 happens. How in the world can you casually crash into a tree and fire hydrant at or around 2 a.m. if you are not a.) under the influence of something or b.) running from your wife who is enraged, rightfully so, about learning the truth of your affair. I can't believe Tiger when he says it was just a casual accident; especially after he denied talking to police about the accident. He is definately hiding something, and I am leaning towards the affair side of things. Elin may have taken the Britney Spears Craziness route by bashing his window with a golf club (at least Elin didn't shave her head), but ... how the hell would you feel to learn through the press about an affair your husband is having?! And then to top everything off, Tiger pulls out of the tournament?! The only reasoning that comes to mind for that is not what he claims - of injuries due to an accident (which, by the way, if you're going less than 30 mph and only get scratches on your face, how does that make you incapable of swinging a golf club? - IT DOESN'T). But it is signs of his wife being so damn pissed off at him that she threatens to leave him, and he stays home so she can't leave while he's out. If I were her, I sure as hell would!
I am amazed at all that Tiger has gone through in the past week, but I have to say that I'm fully on Elin's side! What do you think?
