Impending Divorce for Woods? #PGA

By Brian Beckner:

Brace yourself for a shocker.

Ready?

Tiger Woods might be getting divorced.

Snap! Who saw this one coming? Down is up, up is down. Oh, the humanity.

How could Elin be so impetuous? Doesn’t she need some time think about this? After all, it’s only been five months since she (and the world) discovered that her husband, arguably the world’s most famous family man, was humping sluts from Tampa to Tacoma. San Diego to Syracuse?

What was the final straw? Could it be the news that he made sexy with his young neighbor…in his office…in close proximity to his child’s crib? Sure that’s despicable, but is it any worse than pumping a pancake waitress, only to later treat his wife and children to a breakfast delivered by said syrup slinger?

Rumor has it that Elin Woods is bent that Eldrick trampled his old man’s memory to move merch.

From People.com:

"Elin was violently angry over this commercial and thought it was a cheesy thing to do," one friend tells PEOPLE. "She wouldn't have gone near the Masters under any condition, but that just made her madder. She is over Tiger. I wouldn't be surprised if she files for divorce sometime soon."

Unfortunately for everyone involved, the evidence of an impending divorce seems a bit thin at this point.

From Entertainment Tonight:

"Evidence? Well, the fact that Elin was on a plane, in the air, headed to Arizona during the final round of the Masters -- usually with her husband in contention at his biggest tournament she would be there waiting for him in case he won -- instead she made a plan so that she would be in the air while Tiger was playing.”

Bam! There’s the smoking gun. She was on a plane during the Masters. What more do you need?

While not “evidence” in the purest (or any other) sense of the word, everyone associated with Woods should hit their knees tonight and pray that Elin was on a one-way flight toward singledom.

Divorce for Tiger Woods means one thing: closure. Pay attention, this is important. At this point Tiger Woods is vastly more marketable as a single man. A divorced Tiger is a man that can say “I lost everything, and I’m on the path to redemption.” A married Woods is that jerk that betrayed his pretty blonde wife. In the same way that Madison Avenue sold America Tiger Woods “Family Man,” they can now sell him in a way that no one could have ever predicted - Tiger Woods “Underdog.”

An unmarried Tiger Woods can pitch himself as the man who had everything, blew it all, and is now rising from the ashes to reclaim his birthright as the world’s greatest golfer.

As with everything that’s happened for Woods since Thanksgiving, he’s going to handle this wrong. If the reports are true, his camp is working feverishly to keep the marriage together. That ship has sailed. Tiger needs a new direction. That means a fresh start. Let’s hope Elin does the right thing. It’s best for everyone, especially Tiger Woods.
