I think a lot of his fans like me are rather concern as to what had happened recently to him to have caused an accident which resulted him withdrawing from a golf tournament hosted under his name and further golf tournaments for this season. His silence is just deafening and I wonder if it is actually for the better good for the following considerations. 1. His marriage - A lot of rumors have been going around that he is having an affair and though it is not clear if it is affecting his marriage, I think the events so far indicates that it is. 2. Domestic violence - There's a lot of speculation that his wife is violent and that his facial injuries is more consistent with that of a beating than knocks from a car accident. I feel that even if he wants to protect his wife from any criminal entanglements I just do not think that his silence would offer or do anything to alleviate further complications. Worse, it could affect his legal status as well. 3. His image - Being a well known celebrity, I feel that he owes it to himself to project a positive public image and role model. I mean who does not have problems in life and imperfect relationships but being silent is just not helping anyone including himself. Even if his wife may be at fault but being silent just isn't protecting her and especially when violent behavior can constitute to a lot of factors like post natal depression or depression or some untruthful gossips. I feel that it is about time he step forward, do the necessary to address the issue and accord the necessary action to solve the existing problems. What do you think?

Why should he tell the whole world about something that is so personal? I don't know anyone in their right mind who would enjoy broadcasting their most personal details, so why should he? I believe a person's personal life should stay private, even if that person is a celebrity.

Katsmeow1213, The fact that he is a very popular celebrity and that he is not spared of all baseless tabloid allegations, is enough for him to clear the air. I do not mean for him to disclose personal private details but important facts to quashed the affair, husband battery and/or reckless DUI. Because if he doesn't the gossip columns will just be relentless and it will hurt the family. As I am commenting here, there's another lady coming forward to the tabloids declaring that she is the woman in the middle. So, just when is this going to end? I just do not see that happening until Tiger Woods steps forward and take up legal actions against those baseless allegation mongers.

Celebrities get used to a life in the limelight, and those rumors go along with it. Why should he stoop to their level and address it? He's a human being just like the rest of us, and as such is entitled to privacy, and ignoring those who'd like to make him look bad. Why should any of us care what he does with his personal time? Why should I care if he is cheating on his wife, millions of married men do it, so why is it so taboo that a celebrity does it? If people stopped reading the tabloids or searching for those rumors, they'd probably die out from lack of interest!
