Tiger's Handlers 'Mad As Hell' Over Partying Amid Divorce Concerns

By Rob Shuter Posted Apr 22nd 2010 11:16AM

Tiger Woods' road to public relations redemption seems to have hit a snag, and the people who have been working relentlessly to revamp his image following his infidelity scandal are not happy with the golf legend. Sources close to Tiger tell me that they are "mad as hell" that he thought it would be a good idea to attend a Nickelback concert and party backstage while his wife Elin and the couple's two young children took off for Sweden.

"Everyone around team Tiger has been working 24/7 to regain control of his image. Everything from carefully releasing pictures of him jogging to staging a press conference for his return to playing golf. No detail was too small to be overlooked," an insider tells me. "Then after all that work and planning, Tiger decides that he must attend a concert by his favorite band and dance backstage while his wife is away. It's a disaster."

Much of the drama comes from Tiger checking out a Nickelback concert in Orlando, Florida on April 19, even hanging out backstage at the show, while Elin and his children jetted off to Sweden.

Tiger Woods' Nickelback Snafu

So where does Woods stand with his crew, who have been brought on to restore his once-flawless public image?

"Everyone is at the point of giving up trying to help him," my source says.

This is not good news, given that there are reports of an impending divorce for Tiger and his wife. A source close to the family tells Us Weekly, "It's 100 percent happening ... It's going to take a long time to go through. [But] she will go through with it. She is all about being a mom. She will do it slowly and carefully."

While Tiger partied, "Elin and the kids are out there visiting with [Elin's] family in Stockholm," the Us source said, adding that she and the kids are going to be spending most of the summer there. Without Tiger.

Tiger and his camp have not made any public comments since his golf comeback at the Masters.

Is a "really stupid, half term governor" better or worse than a socialist, half term Senator with no practical experience running anything? Just asking....

Worse: much worse. But, hey, at least you admit she is "really stupid" and realize you haven't the ability to figure out the answer on your own.

Are his handlers so upset that people see him partying or that they will now know his favorite band is Nickelback?

By verinia

What's wrong with dancing backstage at a concert? Now if he was screwing a chick backstage then that would be a problem. Get off of Tiger's back, will ya.

Hey Wayne do you have special powers that now you know how people feel? I never knew that there are so many perfect people judging other people. You don't know what really is going on, you just read the garbage that is written and what is said on the media. Like they say if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all. You must need attention.

By ERMYN

TIGER does not need a NANNY to validate himself with the public. I t is the model posing as a NANNY to get next to tiger who is the one who needs validation. Tiger's swing speaks for him.

I thought Tiger was at home studying Buddhism and sex addiction manuals

By jfk

maybe he should hang out with the "jersey shore" crew...don't they make you want to vomit!

By OBigRondog

That was Boodyism, don't you remember?

By dickweed

I don't think Tiger needs to study sex addiction manuals.

Ithink he's got that part down pretty good.

By JJ

He's getting divorced! So why the hell does he have to act like he's a happy married man? It's OVER and he's moving on! Do your thing Tiger!

By Lynne

ya know his wife left him after all this and said if he gave up golf she would try to stay. Well right after the statement she moved out. Why should Tiger sit at home when they will not get back together. Is he suppose to stay home forever or just move on and try to fix the problems that he is already facing.
