PG has always sensed something a bit off about Tiger Woods. The golf course dominance ( dynasties are no fun), the walking billboard/mr. nike routine, it is all rather boring. (He has the nike logo tattooed THERE?)The fact that PG heard a hateful co worker go off about Fuzzy Zoeller did not help.
The news of the car crash was not welcomed. No matter how annoyed by a person PG is, he does not want bad things to happen to them. But then the details of the wreck started to leak, and silly season started.
He runs into a fire hydrant at 2:30 in the morning. The police don’t think he needs to be tested for alcohol. If that had been you or me, there would have been a balloon blowing up.
The best part was the bit about his wife breaking into the rear window with a golf club. The rear windows of modern vehicles are tough stuff, reinforced and chemically treated. To break a hole in one would take a sledge hammer, and serious muscle. Yes, his wife is a Scandinavian hunkette, but this is still far fetched.
OK, so his private life has a few flaws, and the star struck police are enabling him. But what about his corporate super image? It seems there are a few flies in the soup there.
Mr. Woods is not participating in “his” tournament next week. The tournament is co sponsored by Chevron oil, the descendant of the Rockefeller line. Chevron is a multinational oil company, and its hands are not clean. Environmental complaints and shady deals with dictators are the order of the day. Yes, the oil needs to come through to drive our vehicles ( with or without a rear window). Companies like Chevron like to burnish their image by partnerships with groups like the Tiger Woods tax write off “Foundation”. For a price, Mr. Woods is happy to rent his good name to companies like Chevron.
The latest turmoil to the world financial markets is the prospect of a debt default by Dubai. The desert playground was built with exploited foreign workers, and has numerous skeletons in the closet. Dubai is the site of a Tiger Woods “designed” golf course. ( Blueprint runner PG has always wondered how much input these PGA guys have on these golf courses they “design”.) Here again, the pristine image of Tiger Woods is the public face of a squalid operation.
