The Tiger PR train has officially left the station and is starting to make its way down to Augusta, Georgia.
First stops – ESPN & The Golf Channel.
Tiger turned up Sunday at both networks to offer his first one-on-one interviews since that fateful night in November, letting everyone know he’s a changed man since checking out of sex rehab last month and very ready to resume his career.
Since announcing that he’ll make his return to professional golf at the Masters next month (April 8-11), the season’s first Major is quickly turning into one of the most anticipated sporting and television events of the past 10 years.
How big will the ratings be for Tiger’s return? CBS executives are predicting they’ll be off the charts, rivaling Barack Obama’s inauguration numbers from 2009. To put it in perspective, Woods’ amazing 12-stroke victory at Augusta in 1997 remains to this day as the most-watched Masters tournament ever, drawing an astounding final round rating of 14.1, or the equivalent of approximately 43 million viewers. Twenty million people alone tuned in to watch Tiger’s 13-and-a-half minute apology last month.
Just imagine the numbers watching if Woods is actually in contention on Sunday. My guess? He’ll probably win the damn thing.
TIGER MAKES APPEARANCE ON SOUTH PARK
Want further proof people can’t get enough of Tiger? This week’s 14th season premiere of South Park – which spoofed Tiger’s infamous fight with wife Elin Nordegren and celebrity sex addiction – became the most watched debut episode for the animated program since 1999.
ELIN “DISAPPEARES” AS MORE SEX TEXTS SET TO BE REVEALED
In her attempt to capitalize on her 15 minutes of fame, Joslyn Jones may be damaging any chance Tiger has of salvaging his marriage to Elin.
Amidst word that Jones is set to reveal a brand new set of sex texts on her website involving her and Tiger, reports are surfacing that Elin has apparently ‘disappeared’ from the couples’ home in Isleworth for several days now.
You have to start wondering if she’ll ever come back.

MANUFACTURING OF TIGER SEX TOYS TRULY A “PIPEDREAM”
TMZ.com is reporting that lawyers for Tiger Woods have sent a cease-and-desist letter to Pipedream Products, the company responsible for creating an extensive line of Tiger pornographic products – including tasteless blowup dolls and condoms – featuring the golf great’s likeness.
Tiger’s attorneys are demanding that all items be removed from stores immediately and later destroyed “in a manner and at a time as directed by Tiger Woods.”
Sounds kinky.
anyone who is famous that is involved in cheating on their wives with multiple partners must understand what he is getting himself into. I have no sympathy here for Tiger the person. He knew it, he got nailed and now he has to deal with it. As a golf fan how can you not be excited to get the best golfer in the game and maybe of all time back on the links. Let’s see if his game is affected. It’s not going to be easy for him to concentrate that’s for sure. But at least he won’t be dealing with a sex addiction while golfing. That must have been tough to work with that disease. I’ll take the 3 wood (in my pants).
How could Tiger have been so stupid? He’s one of the most recognizable people on the planet and he’s hopping around jumping every babe he can get his hands on. Did he REALLY think he would never get caught?
And why, oh why, was he dumb enough to leave a trail of text messages? I do believe he let his money and celebrity status give him a feeling of invincibility. Maybe a better word would be arrogance!
Personally, I don’t care anything about his personal life. I’m just ready for him to get back on the golf course. I just have to wonder, though, if he will ever be as great as he was…
Tiger woods is a victim of his own feelings of entitlement. how could a man who had accomplished so much be so stupid…I simply do not understand.
If tiger is allowed to play in the Masters, then Gary mcCord should be allowed to broadcast
Great call on McCord — now THAT would be TV worth watching. The interview on ESPN left me feeling a bit cold — he just comes across as so ingenuine. But at the end of day, I’d much rather let his golf do the talking. It paints a far more captivating picture.
Is that a 3 woods in your pants or are you just happy to see me? It’s just too easy isn’t it?
lets talk something serious…
Now it’s time to let his golf do the talking…
