Report: Tiger's Dad Cheated, Too

By
CBSNews
(CBS)  Tiger Woods' troubles continue to mount.

He says he's taking an indefinite break from golf to focus in part on being a better husband, but People magazine says his wife, Elin Nordegren, has already decided she doesn't want him.

"She plans to leave Tiger," the magazine quotes one source as saying. Another source told People, "She's made up her mind. There's nothing to think about; he's never going to change."

"It's just an endless stream of mistresses coming out at this point and everyone is really siding with his wife," observed Jennifer Garcia, a People assistant editor.

Woods and Nordegren have been married five years and have a 2-year-old daughter, Sam, and a 10-month-old son, Charlie.

And now, a new allegation: that Woods' father, Earl Woods, was also an unfaithful husband.

Dina Parr, Tiger's high school sweetheart, told the New York Post, "He would just call crying and say, 'My dad is with another woman' So, yeah, it's interesting that's it's turning out that he's doing the same thing."

And, notes CBS News Correspondent Jeff Glor, three weeks after the bizarre car accident that triggered the unraveling of Tiger's life, he still hasn't shown his face in public, and every day, the price for a post-crash paparazzi picture of the isolated golfer rises.

"Everybody does want to see him, and that's gonna be a big picture when it surfaces, and then they'll be something else that happens that will become bigger," TMZ Executive Producer Harvey Levin told CBS News.

Tiger's celebrity friends say he's even walled himself off to them -- TNT basketball analyst and former basketball great Charles Barkley among them. "I think," Barkley says, "when you have these fires in your life as I call them you need to talk to somebody else who is famous who have been through things in their life."

One bit of good news for Woods, though -- Dubai developers now say they will complete their massive project, called Tiger Woods Dubai, a 55 million square foot community that includes a gold academy, hotel and, of course, a course designed by Tiger.

This is disgusting. Is it really necessary to publish this type of information about a dead man. Did anyone think about how this affects Kultida Woods when they decided to print this trash? The fact that the media even gives strap-hangers like Dina Parr the time of day says so much about the sorry state the media has reached.

Who cares? Elin needs to take the kids, take the money, dump Tiger and start a new life. She is smart and attractive,

Thank you, Dina Parr. What this coverage was missing was someone dissing a dead man. Bravo.

[Thank you, Dina Parr. What this coverage was missing was someone dissing a dead man. Bravo. ]

actually ... what it's missing is a good embezzelment sub plot ... an out of wedlock child or two ... a cheating scandal w/ his golf game ... and some type of bizzare homosexual connection.

I think it is outragous that the media wont leave a story alone until they feel satisfied. Now they are dragging the memory of Tigers father thru the gutter. How dare they!!!!!!! I have an idea all reporters need to get a life. You are the scum of the earth. I have an idea, maybe the government should get involved and put some regulations on the media. They get involved in everything else.

I've had enough of this coverage! Let those who have not sinned speak up, the rest of you shut up! I don't expect there will be many responses, but if so, you're lying and the truth is not in you!!

sounds like this means nobody can say anything at all ... seeing that everyone is human and therefore fallible. life would be pretty boring if there wasn't 'point of view' ... and the freedom to express it.

if you've had your fill ... just push your 'chair' back from the 'table' and go do something else.

Who cares if his dad, granddad and his great-great-great-great granddad slept around. It doesn't mean he had to. I think it is disgusting he did this to his family, but then again it is none of my business. I may never watch him play golf again, but that is how I boycott my issues.

I think it is most disgusting that now you the media are dragging a dead man into this arena. You as journalists should be ashamed of you're selves. This is so much more important things going on in our world. Leave Tiger Woods story alone already. I will continue to watch and root for Tiger when he returns. I never thought he was innocent of anything before all this happened. I enjouy watching him as the great golfer he is. Drop this already the only ones making this a lasting issue and destroying anything is you the media. ENOUGH!!!

Like father, like son. It's generational.

If Mr. Woods doesn't get himself together, his son will do the same.

Oh!

Well, if it's all about tradition that's different. All is forgiven!
