The Strange, Tawdry Life of Tiger Woods

And his ultimate role model

Tiger's father was apparently a serial cheater himself. He cheated on his first wife to get together with his second (Tiger's mother), and cheated on Tiger's mother while still married to her. Like father, like son. Yes, maybe. But what is worse is the cosy and close family life the Woods portrayed all along. And the strong and supportive father Woods Sr. we saw in public, while he apparently didn't live up to that image in private. A couple of Tiger's mistresses (one dating him as far back as high school) have said that he would be tortured by his father's cheating ways.
