Tiger Woods: From legend to a weakling?
By Al S. Mendoza
(It’s a bit late but just the same, happy anniversary to Honda Cars-Ilocos in San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte (Nov. 28), headed by the super-friendly Mel Co, who was a chief architect of Honda Cars Dagupan’s surge to prominence and prosperity. Cheers, Mel!)

IS Tiger Woods hiding something?
Is he guilty of a wrongdoing?
Is he afraid of the truth?
I ask these questions in lieu of a recent car accident involving Tiger Woods.
He was not badly hurt. Just gashes in the face.
What’s hurting him, though, the past few days since the incident is his image.
He is a golf champ, no doubt about that.
His skills as a golfer are almost beyond compare.
His composure is the stuff that makes sports legends.
His focus when he’s chasing a golf crown is unassailable.
But to the public, he has suddenly become, almost, a weakling.
One that is scared to face the truth. Consequences.
He may have done wrong as a result of that car crash after he had apparently lost control of his SUV Cadillac.
As a result, he hit, first, a fire hydrant and, next, a tree belonging to his neighbor in a plush village in Florida.
Why did he have to storm out of his house at 2:25 a.m. in the first place?
He couldn’t, wouldn’t, give an answer.
“This is a purely private matter and I want it to be that way,” he said in a statement in his web site.
He got a ticket for bad driving. Fined $164.
Then, that’s it. Case closed.
The police wanted more from him, through a face-to-face confrontation.
Tiger Woods refused.
Who can force a superstar?
In his web site statement, Tiger Woods also neither denied nor confirmed talks he was having an affair with a New York club hostess, Rachel Uchitel.
Newspapers in New York had feasted on rumors Tiger and Rachel rendezvoused in Melbourne when Tiger played – and won – there recently in the Australian Masters (he was guaranteed a whopping $3 million).
The car accident might have been the result of a lovers’ quarrel, arising from the rumored romance?
Because Tiger rejects calls for a probe and police queries on the car crash, the world is aghast, if not angry.
Tiger Woods is a celebrity, doesn’t he know that?
As such, he doesn’t solely own his own self now and instead, the public co-owns him.
What privacy is he talking about?
I thought all along he wasn’t dumb.
Suddenly, a minor accident has unmasked Tiger Woods.
Every celebrity can never hostage his private life from the public glare.
It’s time someone told Tiger that.
Already a victim himself of his own indiscretion, Tiger could be headed for doom if he won’t change his stance.
Face the music. Say it. Call a spade a spade.
Rachel Uchitel is a fling or not?
The world needs to know.
Because the world owns Tiger Woods.
Not Elin Woods. Not Tiger Woods. Not Rachel Uchitel.
The world has it all figured out.
