In an interview with Golf channel, Parnevik said,
“I really feel sorry for Elin – since me and my wife were at fault for hooking her up with him. We probably thought he was a better guy than he is. I would probably need to apologise to her and hope she uses a driver next time instead of a 3-iron.

It is a private thing, of course. But when you are the guy he is, when you are the world’s best athlete, you should think little bit more before you do stuff.”

Also, now that Rachel Uchitel has cancelled the press conference that was due to take place in Los Angeles at 11.30am (7.30pm GMT) yesterday, sources claim that Tiger Woods have offered $1 million to Miss Uchitel to withdraw from the conference.

While by now most of us have read multiple coverages of the way things are shaping for Tiger, the latest addition perhaps is Tiger’s public apology, that he posted on his website.

Tiger writes, “I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.”

While we do not support Tiger on his series of “transgressions” ( Rachel Uchitel, Jaimee Grubbs, Kalika Moquin ), we do sympathize with him for the fact that he isn’t just trying to sort things out with his family but at the same time he is dealing with immense “tabloid scrutiny” which indeed can be a serious threat to anyone’s privacy. being the world’s no. 1 golfer doesn’t really take away Tiger’s right to some minimal privacy.

Tiger also writes, “I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.”

While this has been a devastating experience for Tiger and all his fans, this has also resulted in a new found interest for the tabloids in Golf. With the increasing popularity of websites like TMZ, there’s no doubt about the reach that the tabloids could have and we hope it does at least some good for the sport of golf and not limits itself to sneaking into private life of golfers.
