As Dan says, The Woodsman has no obligation to tell anyone anything. I say: lay low, pay your traffic fine, let the gossip folks fuss and stew for a few days until Brittney or the Gosselins or the D.C. White House party crashers step up to take the heat off with the Celeb Roob Press. In short, just get out of the woods (so to speak) in the fewest number of strokes and head for the fairway.

First off… good message… Don’t standby while somebody puts words in your mouth or brands your business as something it’s not. Nuff said.

Now onto Tiger… I don’t think he OWES anybody an explanation. The thing with his is he’s sooooo secretive and so quiet that of course this is going to blow up. The media is out to prove a point… say what happened or we’re going to create all these stories of what we think happened.. which they’re good at doing
He needs to clear his case if he’s going to get pissed at what’s coming out… if not then he’s just gotta deal with what poeople think of him based on what the media spins up

Abbie – he has proactively made statements, so by your standards he has done this correctly not incorrectly.

Every crisis is different. Now is *not the time* for him to make a detailed statement other than what he has put out there. He cannot really get into any details until he talks with the police. It’ll go from there.

I also love how the world thinks Tiger owes everyone an explanation. He doesn’t! When was Tiger elected to public office? Never. That makes him a private citizen accountable to none of us. He’s not saying “no comment,” he’s saying respect his privacy until this gets sorted.

His fierce protection of his privacy is completely consistent with everything he has done with his personal PR in the past. Why should the public expect different? It is none of their business.

If this sort of incident happened to your neighbor last night, you wouldn’t expect your neighbor to come over to tell you all about it would you?

PR-wise, everything to date has been the right play. And the truth will get out there eventually likely from Tiger himself when the time is right. It isn’t right now. If you were truly his counselor, you would have voiced your concerns but done the exact same thing his people did.
