After Nov. 27th –when Tiger Woods caused the car crash, which clearly involves his furious wife, Tiger Woods faced the greatest drop of public reputation to a nonpolitical figure. And since that all the clues and hidden happenings in his past are revealed.
The great fall is mainly from the contrast between the surface that Tiger Woods has been keeping for so long and the true face that’s hidden beneath it. Throughout his entire career Tiger almost never present any behaviour that shows his interior. He is unknowable to the news media that covers him, and virtually to the rest of golfers on the tour. His responses are robotically correct and non-threatening yet meaningless for the public, his tracks are hardly found during and after tournaments. His image is designed to be a charming, non-controversial figure with no interior.
After the car crash, scandals and rumours from his past begin to float up to the public’s eyes. The cover of his formalistic marriage blows off along with the car crash; extramarital sex addiction has driven most his tales; his contact with Anthony Galea, a doctor outside US who is charged to be involved in illegal drug smuggling, has become more and more suspicious. Tiger Woods has lost his credibility to the public. A downward track in the future seems to be obvious. This might or might not affect his further achievement in professional golf, but for sure like how his mask has fell apart, his brilliant image is gone permanently.
