After his embarrassing finish at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Sunday, golf fans are finally asking the question: Is Tiger Woods finished? The writing’s been on the wall for a while, but just now are many Tiger Woods fans able to admit it: The Woods we came to enjoy, the guy who was an assassin [...]

Masters bars female reporter from the locker room on thrilling Sunday
The Masters Tournament is apologizing today for what they call a “misunderstanding” that kept a female reporter out of the locker room on the final day of the tournament. Bergen Record reporter Tara Sullivan was barred by security guards from pursuing locker room interviews of Rory McIlroy and others, allegedly because she is a woman. [...]
Tiger Woods fades in Dubai, is fined by European golf tour for spitting
No matter how much his fans want him to be the same old Tiger Woods, he’s not. This weekend he blew a great shot at winning the Dubai Desert Classic when he shot a 3-over on Sunday’s final round against a weak field. Woods trailed by just one shot when he took the first tee [...]
Tiger Woods divorces
Tiger Woods will quite possibly look back at 2010 as the worst year of his life. No Major titles. A scandal that rocked his image. And now Woods’ attorneys have announced that Tiger and his wife, Elin Nordegren Woods, have finalized their divorce. While details weren’t released, Elin’s settlement was likely over $100 million; And [...]
Tiger Woods’ lost year in golf
To be up front, I am not a golf fan, but am aware of the sport and what the big stories are. So to see Tiger Woods finish 28th in the PGA is shocking as it shows how far he has fallen as a major threat in the sport. The big question is whether this [...]
Is Tiger Woods’ dominance over?
Louis Oosthuizen. Graeme McDowell. Lucas Glover. What do these men all have in common? They’ve won a Major Championship more recently than Tiger Woods. They’re also all 30 or younger. As Tiger’s putter is failing him, his drives are often finding the trees, and his mind seems to be elsewhere, age is catching him. At [...]
Tiger Woods’ new Nike commercial
Tiger Woods and Nike have released a new commercial featuring the voice of Tiger’s father, Earl Woods: Tiger, I am more prone to be inquisitive, to promote discussion. I want to find out what your thinking was, I want to find out what your feelings are, and did you learn anything. While some have criticized [...]
Tiger Woods’ comeback — do you care?
It was big news when Tiger Woods announced that his first golf tournament since his scandal broke in November would be the Masters on April 8-11. One British bookie has already made Woods the 4-1 favorite to win. The Masters is as tightly controlled as an old Soviet politburo meeting, so Woods won’t be asked [...]
Howard Stern’s Tiger Woods mistress pageant
Since Artie Lange took a leave of absence from The Howard Stern Show, Howard has been better than ever. And the latest is a doozy. He’s been talking about this for weeks, and finally the Tiger Woods Mistress Beauty Pageant is just around the corner; Already many in the media are launching their predictable “holier-than-thou” [...]
Tiger Woods press conference statement
A teary-eyed Tiger Woods held his much-anticipated press conference this morning. He offered a heart-felt apology to his family, his friends and his fans. He didn’t hold back, recognizing the specific mistakes he made, acknowledging the requests of the media, answering some of the questions people have. He said specifically, looking straight into the camera, [...]
Mistress claims Tiger Woods had sex with men
Much of the media has been atwitter for the last day over the rumor that a woman is claiming Tiger Woods had sex with men. It’s pretty tough to believe given a host of circumstances: We at Outsports have never heard about Woods being anything but straight (and we hear about everybody); The woman says [...]
Tiger Woods on lesbians, gays and black guys
Vanity Fair has released a bombshell issue that features Tiger Woods on the cover and in its crosshairs. Wearing a black skull cap and lifting a couple barbells, the picture of Woods conjures images of Allen Iverson, not the grand-champion family man we thought Woods to be two months ago. And the article inside the [...]
What if Tiger Woods cheated with a man?
With all the talk about Tiger Woods’ indiscretions over the last couple weeks, several people have asked me what I think would happen if one (or all) of the people he cheated on his wife with were men. It would be such a completely different story, I’m not quite sure. It’s a legit question. Our [...]
Why do women-chasing jocks get married?
Now that as many as 10 women have claimed to have had sex with Tiger Woods, it makes me wonder even more why rich jocks who like having multiple sex partners get married in the first place, especially so young. Kobe Bryant was 23 when he married, Tiger Woods was 29. Both have had reputations [...]
Taiwanese news reenacts Tiger Woods crash
This is a bizarrely hilarious video taken from a Taiwanese tabloid news story that uses CGI to reenact the Tiger Woods car crash, complete with Mrs. Tiger whacking hubby in the face and chasing him with a golf club. Comedy gold. Video: Share on Facebook
First Church of Tiger Woods closes
The transgressions of Tiger Woods have claimed another victim. John Ziegler (I spell it “ei”) has decided he must close the church he started in 1996: The First Church of Tiger Woods. The church’s site includes 27 pieces of evidence of Tiger’s divinity. What is the purpose of the church, you may ask? This website [...]
Tiger Woods’ statement and transgressions
I talked to my sister today about Tiger Woods. If you have read Outsports for the full 10 years we’ve been around, you may remember that she’s dabbled with pro athletes more than once. She told me all the talk about Woods is ridiculous. “Of course he cheats. Ninety-five percent of pro athletes cheat.” It’s [...]
Tiger Woods needs to talk
To paraphrase an old quote, sometimes it’s not the action itself but the cover-up that gets you in trouble. There are two versions of events surrounding the Tiger Woods SUV accident early Friday morning. At least, there will be two versions once Tiger and his wife Elin get their stories straight and decide to make [...]
PGA gets season-end photo op
The PGA has to be loving the photo op the Tour Championship bore: Phil MIckelson and Tiger Woods both holding trophies for the same event. Mickelson came from behind to win the Tour Championship, while Woods’ second-place finish earned him the points to win his second FedEx Cup (he also won in 2007). Mickelson finished [...]
Stunner: Tiger Woods loses major after lead
Tiger Woods lost the PGA Championship Sunday to Korean golfer Y.E. Yang, someone so obscure that when I first read the news on my cellphone my mind read it as “P.F. Chang.” How improbable was Yang’s win? Woods had been 14-0 in majors after leading after three rounds. He had won his last 36 tournaments [...]
