I agree this probably wouldn't have happened if his father were still alive. As someone else said, I'm sure he's twirling in his grave, too. He surely would be disappointed in Tiger's stupidity if nothing else I'm sure.
Putting myself in his mother's place when this all happened with his MIL and wife sitting there at the same table when this happened, I'd want to crawl under the table...and then go kick his a*s all over for being so stupid.
Yeah, FinanceDude, I'm guessing Elin will either have to put up and shut up or become like Hillary, Mrs. Bob Hope and need we forget Jackie Kennedy and all those other celebrity wives who live with obvious wandering men that the entire world knows about.
However, Hillary doesn't HAVE to tolerate Bill for money or position unlike most wives in these arrangements.
