Tiger Woods May Actually Be Shooter McGavin (Audio of Voicemail to his Mistress Edition)

So here is the audio to that damning voicemail Tiger left for his mistress. It doesn’t sound good for Woods.  After the video, enjoy Mr. Big Shot’s take on the situation and what it will really mean for Tiger’s career. Enjoy!

Some might argue that the Tiger Woods story has officially lost sports relevance and will only be covered by the likes of TMZ in the foreseeable future, but those of us who are golf fans beg to differ.  Golf is a game built on honesty and integrity.  It’s a game where players are responsible for keeping their own scores and calling penalties on themselves.  Just last year a golfer disqualified himself from qualifying for his tour card for an innocent rules violation.

Herein lies the difference between what Tiger is accused of and what Kobe Bryant was accused of.  Kobe’s rape accusation mattered more to his sponsors and public image than it did on the basketball court.  Kobe’s on-court credibility remained untarnished.  A tenacious competitor who if committed a foul or wrongdoing would be whistled by the refs (depending of course on the ref and league agenda at the time.)

While Tiger’s indiscretions matter to his sponsors and public image it may matter more to his competitors and golf enthusiasts.  Tiger plays in a unique sport where his honesty and credibility do matter.  They are the cornerstones of what makes golf great.  Has Tiger ever not called a rules violation on himself when he should have?  Does he take more than one customary mulligan on the first tee?  Has Tiger been using illegal drives in the past?

While the rest of the world wonders what TMZ will dig up next on Tiger, golf enthusiasts hold their collective breaths.  If Tiger is in fact a cheat the golfing memories of many will be forever tarnished.

I do not really follow golf and find this code of conduct interesting. I never really understood why John Daly was so marginalized for partying, but now it makes a little more sense
