I suppose I am showing my age when this story about Tiger’s reaction to fake and real pictures of his wife reminds me of the 1970s Dr. Hook classic. Here are some basics:
First, a Dublin magazine published rehashed topless photos that were wrongly identified to be of Woods’ ex-model wife, Elin. Then an Irish tabloid sensationalized the bogus story in order to print gratuitous shots of a bikini-clad Elin in its editions yesterday. It was enough to bring an agitated Woods into the Ryder Cup interview session early in order to defend his wife’s honor.
“My wife, yes, had been a model prior and she did do some bikini photos,” he said before answering the first golf-related question. “But to link her to porn sites and such is unacceptable and I do not accept that at all. Neither does our team.”
The magazine, a rather obscure publication called The Dubliner, later issued an apology and said that the piece, under the phony byline “Lou Slips,” was “an absurd parody of inaccurate tabloid publishing.”
Sadly, I cannot seem to find links to any of the pictures.
