TWF ... 25k for a week-end !!! ... WTF !?! ... WFT now ? Role model status vaporized in a few days ... Why is this mentioned here in this financial blog ? Another example of big money flushing, here on an individual scale. Excessive amounts of money are dilapidated uselessly and so easily in America and all over the world while so many struggle to basically survive, or struggle to save some money for their future.

Bull market sports such as Golf will be another casualty of this secular bear market. As goes Tiger, so goes the sport.

Perfect material for a Shakespearean tragic comedy. Some things never change. Apparently Tiger's handlers didn't quite get the job done. Or they knew the flaws for a long time, and knew they could not be controlled. But then again they were on the gravy train. Why rock the boat with reality. In this day and age with every cell phone in the world is equipped with a camera, and every text and email down loadable to a PC and the world, what celebrity in their right mind would unzip their pants in a room occupied by anyone else. Modern technology is encouraging the elites to return to a Victorian value system. Perhaps. Perhaps not. They all still have more money than they can spend so why not rub every fans' face in the elitism of it all. How very entertaining and tragic.

Apparently Tiger’s handlers didn’t quite get the job done. Or they knew the flaws for a long time, and knew they could not be controlled.

But then again they were on the gravy train. Why rock the boat with reality.

Tiger, the perfect golfer,
Couldn’t keep it in his pants,
All of the skanky porn stars,
Really made his putter dance.

Then on one Thanksgiving night,
Tiger had to pay,
For all those 18 extra holes,
That Tiger should never play,

Now Elin’s got all the money,
And when she visits all the banks,
Tiger, the perfect golfer,
Now suffers from the shanks!
