Is it because he earns $100 million a year that entitles this incredibly non eventful and trivially boring piece of information about him having a row with his wife and driving into a tree and getting a little bash on his nose being international headline news?

What the bloody hell is that all about?! Who cares? WHY IS THE INTERNATIONAL NEWS giving this so much airtime? Am I missing something? Is Tiger Woods the new messiah or something? was I asleep the day they appointed him the new all-knowing god? Will we have to have a national day of mourning next week if his goldfish should tragically and woefully perish and god forbid be found floating on the top of the bowl? Will our children have to take the day off school when he gets a cold? Someone please, enlighten me in the ways of the Tiger...
 
It's because Tiger Woods has been seen as Mr. Squeaky Clean all over the World, and the Olympic Committee wants Tiger to help get Golf as an Olympic Sport for Rio in 2016.

Olympics Golf: International Olympic Committee wants Tiger Woods

The reason golf survives long hours on TV is that the small number of viewers are very affluent and a perfect target audience for selling. Golf balls, golf bags, retirement homes, and other endorsements litter the airways during play.

And nobody is bigger in sports now than Tiger Woods himself. Just think of the TV revenue and endorsements that the biggest star in the world would bring to the Olympic games.

There is already an Olympic Golf Committee sponsored by the professional golf federation which is pushing for it, and our guess is there is little resistance.

Think of what this means on an international basis if Golf is accepted as an Olympic Sport. Retail Golf sales around the World will explode, not to mention the International Real Estate Market in retirement homes, golf courses, etc.

There's a lot riding on Tiger, because if anyone can get this tough sell, this boring sport as part of the Olympic Games, he can. But, now what?

Woods is an International Star of the First Magnitude.

This story isn't going to go away, espcially since the Woods aren't talking and there is possible Assault With A Deadly Weapon charges looming.
