Tiger Woods, professional golfer, husband to Swedish model Elin Nordegren, father, and the focus of multiple alleged affairs, just may have caused more in damages than the $164 fine following a recent car accident. But will the "alleged" cheats cheat the sponsors in the end? Tiger Woods' sponsors are investing more than what Tiger Woods' golf card has supplied in the last year. Read further.
Prestonwood Country Club hosted various events through the past years, including the Jimmy V Celebrity Golf Classic. The Jimmy V Celebrity Classic began in Cary, moved to Pinehurst then returned to the Triangle in 2009. Even though Tiger Woods was not on the listed North Carolina areas has many Tiger Woods fans and inspired golfers. But the latest news may sway the clean Tiger Woods image of a golfer that could do no wrong.
Tiger Woods had a car accident resulting in his world being turned upside down. Tiger's wife, Elin Nordegren, has been silent through the unfolding drama. Ever since the accident and surfaced rumors Elin Nordegren photos have been in high demand. However, Elin Nordegren photos should not be confused with photos of her twin sister, Josefin.
Behind the VIP shadows appeared Rachel Uchitel, nightclub executive and alleged mistress number one. Rumors surfaced as to why Tiger Woods was driving hastily in the middle of the night as reports reflected that of a domestic situation unfolding over Tiger Woods' infidelity. The rumors suggested that Elin Nordegren found out of the affair resulting in Tiger Woods leaving, getting into an accident, and ending up in a brief hospital stay with lacerations to the face.

Soon after Rachel Uchitel surfaced, another alleged mistress appeared, Jaimee Grubbs, a former cocktail waitress and seen on VH1's Tool Academy. In Tool Academy Jaimee Grubbs was a participant.
Jaimee Grubbs has recently released a couple of the 300 text messages and Tiger Woods voicemails. Reports suggest that Grubbs saved Tiger Woods' text messages and voicemails to prove their past affair.

You can listen to a Tiger Woods affairs voicemail through SFGate.com, or read a voicemail here.
"Hey, it's, uh, it's Tiger. I need you to do me a huge favor. Um. Can you please take your name off my phone? My wife went through my phone and may uh, may be calling you. If you can, take your name off that, and if you can just have it as a number on the voicemail. Just have it as your number. Do me a huge favor. Okay?"
However, questions arise whether or not the voice is actually of Tiger Woods.
After Jaimee Grubbs stepped into the Tiger limelight as alleged mistress number two, in came alleged mistress number three, Kalika Moquin, another nightclub executive. Life & Style exclusively revealed the identity of Kalika Moquin.
Tiger Woods official website, TigerWoods.com, released a statement today in the words of Tiger Woods involving what some call the "Tiger Woods Scandal." You can follow a video report through Raleigh's Wtvd-tv ABC 11 Eyewitness News.
"This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.
"This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible..."
Tiger continued to be loyal to his marriage through the rest of this statement, but then came the "other" apology.
"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart..." And so on. Tiger Woods press release speaks for itself. Transgression definition means breaking the boundaries of moral principle.
The "eye of the Tiger" has been critized by the general public and the media. Following Tiger Woods' first statement, on his own website, the first comment says "You've got some chutzbah for cheating on a super hottie like Elin. You didn't think a supermodel was enough? Had to supplement with some classy Vegas cocktail waitresses..." And so on. Following the second statement, on his own website, the first comment begins with "You are the man."
Outside of public opinion, will these turn of events harm Tigers' relationship with his sponsors?
Tiger Woods has 10 sponsors, some being Nike, Accenture, and Tag Heuer. Even though some of Woods' sponsors are sticking by their man, the general population tends to be against anyone that has reckless behavior hidden behind infidelities.
Update: Gatorade has dropped Tiger Woods, but that was in the making before Woods' accident or the surfacing of alleged mistresses.
Being professional includes upholding a professional image, but will Tiger Woods' image stand up to the stormy allegations? Will Tiger Woods 10 cheats unfold, one for each sponsor? Meaning will Tiger cheat each sponsor out of their investment just by his past actions alone? The critics may have something to say about it.
In recent news Tiger Woods has slowly declined in his game. Tiger even canceled on his own golf event. Bad news for Tiger, worse news for his sponsors. But who knows what Tiger Woods has planned for the future "course" of his life. One can assure that Tiger Woods will stay away from nightclubs and cocktail lounges.
Update: TigerWoods.com released Woods' statement that he will take time off from golf to mend his marriage. Tiger Woods will still remain loyal to golf instead of giving his sponsors the shaft, that is if they will wait for his return.
Tiger Woods is still a leading man on the golf course, a money making machine that simply has hit a grassy knoll of judgment. However, Tiger Woods has the potential of bouncing back. Tiger Woods has proved that he's the chance worth taking on various occasions. What sponsor is going to walk away from that?
Time will tell.
