There are reports that Playgirl Magazine has obtained nude photos of golfing great Tiger Woods. The magazine says that the source of the photos is eager to sell and that they will consider publishing the pictures once they are proven to be authentic. Woods was recently successful in getting a British court to help him ban nude pictures of himself from being published in the UK. The court does not have the ability to stop such pictures from being published in the United States, though.
In case you've missed it, here are some of the latest developments in the saga of golfing great, Tiger Woods:
Tiger has announced that he will be leaving golf for an indefinite period of time. This came as a bit of a surprise, but it's not a big deal, since the golfing season is already over. The only question is whether or not Woods will miss the entire 2010 season. That would be a huge blow to the PGA Tour and a terrible hit to his ability to break the "unreachable" record of 18 majors set by golfing great, Jack Nicklaus.
AOL Black Voices members asked out loud whether it matters that Tiger Woods was spending all of his time with white women and chose to marry a white woman as well. Some black women seem to be offended by Woods' behavior and persona. Personally, I am not sure why any woman would want to be on Tiger's list of jump offs and porn stars.
A guest on CNN's Joy Behar Show accused Tiger Woods of behaving like a typical black male athlete. I was offended by the remarks, and so were many members of the AOL BV community. It's odd that when an athlete misbehaves, we can be quick to attribute his behavior to black men. The truth is that Tiger has never had much in common with black men and the black community has shown tremendous support for his achievements.
Tiger Woods' list of mistresses has gotten longer. I am not sure if we are at 11, 12 or more, but it's getting crazy. The most interesting thing about it is that this list only includes the women who are bold enough to go in front of millions of people in order to get a payoff. Many women would not be so open with their sex lives, so there could be many more behind the scenes.
This story isn't going to die before the end of the New Year. While I've always felt that Tiger should say something to the public, perhaps he doesn't have to. He's got plenty of money in the bank, and a recent poll stated that 91 percent of all consumers, in spite of Tiger's recent transgressions, would not stop buying goods endorsed by Woods. What does that mean? It means that Tiger is still going to make a boat load of money.

Imagine being a young, talented and rich Black man in your 20's!
Is you were also a hound...why get married??
Did Elin give Tiger an ultimatum- Marry me, or I'll leave!
If so, he was stupid to marry her, knowing that he still needed to sow his wild oats.
Simply, he cheated and HURT a woman he took an oath to be faithful to.
I've never married, and guess what? I can deal with all the women I choose. But, if I ever took an oath of marriage, I could never cheat on my wife! I'd divorce her before I'd have a sexual relationship with another woman.
It's all about respecting your mate.

Tiger is a golf champion I personally don't care what goes on in his bed room. I hope he can save his family. Because I hate to think about the line of men who are waiting at his wifes door to live off her half of his millions.

The biggest rumor started by black men who know Tiger would rather die than then seen as a black man is of all the black male scum on earth that he is talking to that pimp and murderer of Malcolm X, the jokester Farrakhan. Is he the example that black men see as real black manhood? If so no matter they are in the violent rut they are. Killing off each other and gang raping their women and girls. They are trying to totally destroy him with that rumor with white people. Get life black men he doesn't want to be one of the most despised men on earth a black man. He's a whore monger of low class white women but I would have to believe he's gone insane to be connected with that vile Farrakhan. Where are the jobs from him to black men from that rip off joke the million man march? Black men became down low gays and more violent after it. Tiger would lose everything by being connected with him? He will be back playing golf with his white caddies, white women and still not calling himself a black man. Why do black women accept Tiger for who he is and black men can't seem to accept he's doesn't want to be a black man?

I find it interesting that Tigers wife is getting a beat down by some just because she's white. Tiger purposely chose a breeder to give him almost white children He never loved that woman. He chose her like slave owners chose certain blacks to breed big black children. There are Reports of his obsession with getting her. He was the gold digger. What Tiger wanted Tiger got. He does not want black support because no matter what he doesn't want to be seen as a black man. He knows the negative stigma connected to being a black man. Like gays say about being gay who would want to gay to only be disdained so much. Same for being a black man. That’s why there's so much self hatred and no respect for black life with a large segment of blacks men. The man in the mirror isn't white and privileged, so he seethes and instead of thinking education, hard work, build businesses, excel, compete, he vent his anger predominantly on those who look like him. His black woman gets the most abuse. Being with non black women changes nothing about him being treated like a black male. He thinks death before a certain age, Mac 10 AK 47, poisoning blacks with drugs or themselves, holds their communities hostage with violence and living in daily fear of getting killed by a stray bullet. Everything negative and destructive to themselves and other blacks. He doesn't need or want black support. Hes a brand without him golf will die, golf know it Tiger knows it.
