The Tiger Woods furor continues to spiral even after the soon-to-be-billionaire athlete admitted his “sins.” Tiger Woods recently said, “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.” Welcome to the world of indiscretion committed by popular people.

‘An admission by Tiger Woods of “personal sins” has failed to quell a media storm over a string of alleged affairs as he braced Thursday for further revelations about his private life.’ Tiger is now realizing that his celebrity is making a difference in his current unfortunate situation. Hiding from the very same public that is scrutinizing him now is not going to blow away the controversies. ‘Woods has yet to be seen in public since the furor erupted when he crashed his car in strange circumstances on Friday at 2:25 am outside the Florida home where he lives with his wife Elin and their two children.’

Woods has remained holed up at his family home near Orlando since the crash. He has also ‘pulled out of the Chevron World Challenge in Los Angeles, an 18-star golf event to benefit his charity foundation that teed off Thursday.’

Defending his privacy after the sex scandals smeared his ‘squeaky clean and highly lucrative image,’ “Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.”

Celebrity gossip is always wont to speculate. It’s the trade’s lifeblood. ‘After the crash, celebrity gossip websites speculated that Elin chased Woods with a golf club and smashed the rear windows of his vehicle, causing him to lose control. Woods has denied these reports.’
