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.

Tiger Woods is a sociopath. Finally, she gets it. The children don't need to be raised in that environment under that influence.

By realist

Leave the man alone. What he does is his business. If everyone wants a cause to get worked up about - then how about the rising national debt and/or Muslim intimidation of our society!

By PatrickPain

Who cares at all! Go Tiger live it up. Wife move on!

By Sire

Leave this guy alone. What does the world care about where and when he pushes his penis into something? He is a man and we are simple creatures. Don't look deeper than we really are.

By rob

LOL who cares so he went to a nickleback concert and partied back stage...who cares seriously...if we did that would we make news...sheesh enough already

Will somebody pour these guys a drink and give them a vicaden. He went to a concert and danced with some people back stage. You would have thought that the Tiger was in a drunken Roman orgy the way these people are carrying on. He is a golfer for crying out loud not the pope. I don't expect him to put on robes and walk on water. He hits a ball for a living. You people that idolize him so much need to get a life. I think it stinks what he did to his family but it is all out in the open so give it a rest. he has a billion dollars and is likely to make another billion before he retires. If his wife wants a divorce then let her lawyer get her a nice settlement and teach him to keep it in his pants, but don't go flying off the handle because he wanted to see nickle back perform.

Enough is enough. Drop the bum and let everybody get on with their lives. There is no redemption here. He is an abuser. No woman or man likes to be so humiliated.

Now Kate is in news what with her getting the bounce from the Dancing with the star and her claim that she has not had sex for over a year like it is a big news. Lots of stars have not had sex for longer periods what with their finding it difficult to find sex partners or may be they have lost the sexual desire and so on. This Kate always likes to stay in limelight with feeding the media stories about herself and titling them like Kate+8 or Kate+jon or Kate+divorce. She is always around and then claims that her kids are her life. Her kids mean nothing to her and I believe the reason she has not had sex for a year that she has lost all sex appeal what with having 8 children. She tried to create sex appeal by referring to her children as Kate+8 but the eight part is beginning to hunt her. I think This Tiger should borrow a chapter from Kate and refer to him Tiger+sex.

Why is this EVEN NEWS?I think you all need to GET a life and fast.Please stop acting so shocked and digusted people cheat all the time and Im sure some of the people, who are calling him names and acting so high and mighthy, have cheated.Leave him and his family and alone and MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.Im not saying that cheating is RIGHT its very wrong BUT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS AND WE NEED TO STAY OUT OF IT ESPECIALLY THE MEDIA.SHEESH GET A LIFE!

By jlw

I don't care about the Tig one way or the other - but sex addiction????? puleeeeze! Who decided this is a remotely valid malady? Infidelity is what it is - so call it what it is. Ya don't see headlines taking single guys to task with this particular 'disease'. This would essentially make any sex offender guilty by reason of disease, which of course then wouldn't be his fault. As for going to a concert and dancing - why not, as long as he keeps his parts to himself?

By Pamela

Give the man a break, Tiger Woods deserves to live a little.

By opethjewel79

Nickelback is his favorite band?! Lmao. That explains SO much, hahaha!

By thisisuselessinfo

Nickleback??!! Wow..I would have thought that Tiger would have been into Rap Music...A Genre that is more suited to the way he treats,and has sex with women...Pure Trash!! Just like Mr Woods!

Tiger , You gave it a chance . I agree with you, stop beating yourself up over this . Divorce this one & get yourself a wife that wants to ride the tiger train. This is your life to live , you made a mistake as we all do . Tiger try & learn from it & move on , be a better man from it , take care of your kids & be a good father but , stop apologizing . Do more partying , play golf enjoy your life & find a woman that wants to play her role in your life. Damn it your Tiger Woods & dont let them forget it. Ask yourself what would she be doing if you had not married her? I rest my case . She would still be that nanny looking for a great guy like you . We all make mistakes learn from this & move on & enjoy your life & tell these sports analyst to go phuck themselves. You only have one life to live Tiger you make the rules when you are at the top. Rule this game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Tiger!!!!!!
