Elin, Kids to Be Part of Tiger's Next PR Move

By Rob Shuter Posted Feb 22nd 2010 07:40AM

After Tiger Woods' carefully produced press conference, team Tiger has decided that the next step on the troubled golfer's road to public recovery will be a staged picture of the Woods family out and about.

"Tiger's image has been manipulated for years and you should expect nothing different post-meltdown," an insider tells me. "Expect a happy family image of the entire family causally playing in a playground to emerge next. A trusted photographer will be told a time, date and place to meet the family where they will pretend to be one big happy family for a few minutes."

And although staged scenes like this are nothing new in the celebrity world, many think a scenario that reeks of phoniness would be a huge mistake for Tiger as he tries to repair his shattered public image.

A crisis public relations expert tells me, "Tiger's public perception is in a very different place right now to Angie and Brad's. (Those two were accused this week of staging pictures with their children in Italy.) Anything that smells fake about Tiger and his family at the moment would be a disaster."

So why not forget trying to fool us and wait until Elin really wants to be seen again with her husband? If you don't, the joke would well be on you, Mr. Woods!

quite frankly who gives a sh-t whether I forgive Tiger or not. It's none of my business. It's between Elin and Tiger. They need to do what's best for them.

Who am I to judge?

And screw Gloria Allred...another money hungry attorney.

By Wish Belkin

My goodness, that Elin is attractive.
What could he have been thinking?

By Lonie

I totally agreed...........SCREW Allred.......if her clients say they didn't know that Tiger was a married man....then by God they are dumber than they look.............they are NOT owed any apology from him or anyone....maybe THEY should be the ones to apologize for being money hungry pieces of crap

When he went intothe lime light and started playing professional golf his business became our business. We are the one who shell out the money to see him play, sit through the TV golf tournaments, buy his junk and so on. It is our money that made him what he is. It is our business how he act, just like was our business when people like Edwards cheated on his wife.
When joe the plumber cheats on his wife it is none of our business because it is not the public that made him, he is not in the limelight saying look at me I am the great one.
That is why it is our business.
He is a cheat, he cheated on his wife and I am sure that he cheat in everything he does. He get away with things on the golf course no one else would be allowed to do. HE IS A CHEAT.

I can't believe you guys can't leave this story alone. Nobody knows what the next move will be - you just guess! When you don't know the truth, you just make it up. the media is sickening to try and keep a story going when we are all sick of hearing about it. Let this family heal.

By Bev

You are soooooo right!!!!

By Mary

I agree, the media put Tiger on a pedestal that no human being could maintain. I do not excuse his behavior but it is a private matter and none of my business or anyone else's.

The media is to blame for this 'circus' and should leave him and his family alone so they can heal if that is what all parties want. Stay out of his life for 6 months and see what happens after that.

By wconner

Staged photo??????????? That to me means FAKE, just to try to win over on the public. Because with out the public, he is not much I guess

By Mike

Another day, another lost post by AOL and Popeater. So what else is new?

By valeskas

Elin I have been there, I forgave and forgave until I said enough. But what can you do if your heart says one thing and your brain another.

By The Solingers

Why don't you sleezy, money-grubing, bottom-feeder papparazzi, find a life of your own, and stop leeching off the famous, You are in the same class, as ambulance chasing attorney's. Just Stop, oh no, that might mean you'd have to find legitimite employment.

What's up with the Love Child???

By Cindy

Now...THIS is a staged ...made-up story!! A 'carefully produced' piece of crud citing an insider says..or a crisis public relations expert says... This is pathetic NEWS reporting !!

By bekki

Who does he need to apologize to anyway? He owes the public nothing! It's his wife that he should make a mends with. If he has a problem then he needs to deal with it if he needs help for it he should get it. What he does in his private life is his bussiness.

Hey Tiger, Just go play golf. Nobody cares about your "recovery" and reconciliation with your family.............Nobody!

By kmsc2c

This so called reporter is an idiot!

By Joyce

This speaks volumes of who YOU are, Rob. How do YOU know what's phony? Sounds like YOU have experience in that arena yourself. This is a family & they have every right to spend time together without your assumptions. What makes YOU an authority?
Butt out. Leave all of them alone. Elin has been most gracious all along & what she decides to do down the road is her business & her business only. YOU don't know what she is feeling. She also knows the children need to spend time with their father.
Enough of the never-ending criticism. Tiger still has a multitude of fans & I'm one of them.
