Readers, if you have been wondering why you have not been receiving your regular dose of wonderful Head To The Net posts, it is because we here at HTTN are relaunching the website. I have put the articles on hold until the new look and feel is unveiled, but this is too important to wait.

Tiger Woods, the recovering sex addict and best golfer in the world who is set to resume his playing career at The Masters today, is undergoing an image transformation. The new Nike television commercial features the voice of his late father, Earl Woods. Tiger has said that he wished his father was still around to straighten him out (I paraphrase). All voice clips in this commercial are real, and they are put together in such a way that it looks like Woods Sr. is talking to his son about his recent indescretions. And Tiger looks like any boy being reprimanded by the old man.

As you hear the voice of the departed speaking with an eerily omnipotent air, can't you just imagine that Tiger still hears his father speaking to him very often, with words very similar to these? See for yourself:

"I felt entitled."

During his closed door, no questions allowed “public” address three weeks ago, Tiger Woods used this reasoning to explain the choices he had made over the last two years. In his first interview since the incident just released by ESPN on Sunday, March 22, he again cited entitlement as his downfall.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the interview here:



The Breakdown

The combination of his previously aired public statement and this seemingly staged interview shows me that Woods continues to feel entitled. Because he is the most famous athlete in the world, he thinks he can answer his own set of questions to his own set of reporters. And he feels entitled to make his comeback at the single most controlled tournament of the year – reporters have been banned from Augusta for life for simply insulting the quality of the grass.

The Eyes

Why does it look like Woods’ eyes were intentionally pepper sprayed prior to the interview? Are we supposed to feel like he’s been crying for 4 months straight? Or that this is what a person looks like after going through 45 days of in-patient therapy? This attempt to evoke a sense of sympathy within only makes people angry.

The Answer

Tiger, until you tell the world how you came to crash your Escalade into a tree, and what it is you’re even being treated for, people are going to guess. They will keep drawing conclusions and continue making jokes. And although TMZ and ET are pretty harsh, you created this monster with your actions. When you were perfect, you were allowed space and put on a pedestal, but it’s gone now.

The time has come to lower yourself to the level of the fans: open up; be real. If you do, the public will open up their arms and help you get back to what you want to be.

It has been well publicized that Tiger Woods is receiving treatment from a Sex Addiction Therapy Clinic in Mississippi. Every patient of the clinic is asked to fill out a questionnaire upon arrival, and Head To the Net's undercover research crew incredibly managed to obtain a copy of Woods'. Our source cannot be revealed, but let's just say a former X-Files superstar isn't too happy that he is not the world's premier sex addict anymore.

Tiger Woods is in so much trouble with his wife that he has decided to take an “indefinite leave” from golf to focus on his family. The mistress count is up to something like 13 or 15 - really, does it even matter anymore? Hopefully for Tiger, his therapist doesn’t charge a per affair rate.

The Woodses are trying to repair their marriage, for the kids. Elin came from a divorced family and doesn’t want her children to go through the same ordeals. But is there really any point now? Not only are there 13+ alleged mistresses, but the latest, Jamie Jungers claims that her affair with the golfer started in the Summer of 2005, just after Woods was married! It lasted 18 months, and was much more than only a physical relationship. Elin wants Tiger to quit golf for the time being, and most likely, to quit other women as well. But really, is this going to make the man happy? He loves golf, and he apparently loves women too. Would he actually be able to be with one for the rest of his life? Doesn’t look like it from this vantage point.

Back to the kids, forcing this marriage cannot possibly be what’s best for them. When they reach the age when they start finding out about their father’s mistakes, how can they possibly understand it and lead a normal family life afterwards? As if being Tiger Woods’ children wasn’t enough to deal with on top of it all, their school friends will be dropping jokes about their dad’s cheating ways.

Tiger, maybe it’s time to retake control of your life. Move on from the woman, spend as much time with the kids as she’ll allow, and get back to golf. As the sponsor who will always stick by you says “Just Do It.”

Many of us have been wondering what exactly led to Tiger Woods' car crash. Lucky for our curious minds, a Taiwanese news outlet created an animated recreation of the events, exactly as they happened! We don't know how they know more about the details than we here in North America, but if this made it on to the TV, it must be real... enjoy!

Two weeks ago would you have imagined that Tiger Woods could be any bigger than he already was? His face was already one of the most recognizable in the world as the planet's premier athlete and sports superstar, but the truths that been exposed recently about his unfaithfulness will make him more famous, if that is even possible! Surely, a lot of it is negative press, but in the end, more people will be compelled to follow his life and story.

If you are thinking that the negativity surrounding his actions will make him less popular, think again. The core fan-base he already had – 20-50 year old male golf fans – who loved to veg-out in front of the TV for a 6 straight hours on Masters Sunday will not be any less inclined to watch. They are sports fans, who became Tiger fans because he is an incredible golfer,.and they will still be there, useless as lumps on a log for a full day. The difference is that now they won’t be alone. Wives, girlfriends, sisters, those who used to dismiss the man as a part of the couch, an inanimate object that could not be stirred on those golf weekends, will actually sit down next to him. As Tiger makes his charge at a green jacket, they will be booing him and hurling curses his way: “A**hole! Cheater! Jerk!” But the fact is, they will be watching. Upon winning, will he go immediately to his wife and kids for the hug and kiss? During his victory speech, the camera will cut to a close-up on her face to see if she’s muttering swear words under her breath, or if tears are running down her cheeks. This is compelling reality TV, and it’s better than anything else out there, hands down.

As the story was revealed, the first thought of many sports outlets was if Woods would retain his endorsements. Would Nike, Buick, Gatorade not be opposed to align themselves with such a sinner? That’s pretty dumb. If anything, they should be over the moon. Tiger has just made himself the number 1 news story in North America: his face all over every news website, newspaper, and any media outlet, and what’s that little symbol on his hat? Nike’s loving it. And don’t forget General Motors, who paid a reported $40 million for five years for Tiger to endorse Buick. The shot of Woods’ wrecked car is everywhere, and although it’s a Cadillac and not a Buick, that shot alone is worth more than the $40 million for GM. What’s a more memorable image, Woods on a boring TV commercial with a Buick, or the beat up SUV, with the word “Escalade” clearly visible on the side?

Angry ladies on The View, as furious as you are with Tiger, you just made him more legendary.
