Mind Of Man: What The Tiger Woods Sex Scandal Is Really About

John DeVoreDecember 9, 2009 //

So, Tiger Woods cheated on his wife. For those of you who don’t know, Tiger Woods is a professional golfer worth a billion dollars. He is involved in a sex scandal, much like your average politician, rock star, or preacher. I have no opinion on the topic. Except that Tiger Woods has the fashion sense of a middle-aged suburban father who screams into his clenched fist every time he surveys the smoldering ruins of dreams that dot the empty horizon of his soul. Which might be the standard plight of golfers, as the sport is just an expensive version of lawn darts for plumpers with platinum cards.

Wait. That’s an opinion. I hate golf. I blame golf for giving us Tiger Woods in the first place. Keep reading »

The Dirty Secret Behind Justin Timberlake’s Golf Book

Deborah FindlingJuly 9, 2009 //

Ugh, I am actually a fan of Justin Timberlake so it broke my heart to hear that NYC lit agent David Vigliano is shopping around Timberlake’s golf memoir proposal. Maybe it’s just the die hard golfer in me, since I loved him being a singer, dancer, fashion designer and even enviro-friendly golf course owner, but this makes no sense. Why? It’s true he did play golf all through high school and I know he made the pro-am (pro-amateur) celebrity golf tournament circuits, but from what I understand from those who know better is that he isn’t exactly an avid golfer. Back in the day one of my friends was partnered in a round with him and decided that he was more interested in signing autographs than playing ball. Can’t Justin just write about his rise to fame like Vigliano’s past successful book deals with Shannon Doherty and Clay Aiken? Oh well, let’s hope I’m pleasantly surprised. [Um, for all us non-golfers out there, and we are many(!), does this sound like the most boring book he could possibly write or... ? -- Editor] [Observer] Keep reading »

Five Things To Know About Golfer Cheyenne Woods, Besides The Obvious

Annika HarrisJuly 2, 2009 //

Sure, Cheyenne Woods is the niece of Tiger Woods, but there’s more to the Wake Forest golfer than that. The 18-year-old, who will turn 19 this month, made her LPGA debut last week but missed the cut by four shots. She’s currently ranked 93rd in the country by Golfweek. Since she was groomed by one of the best golfing coaches, grandfather Earl Woods Sr., she’ll continue to get media attention even after the unsuccessful debut. Learn more about Cheyenne after the jump. Keep reading »

    The Daily Hotness: Tiger Woods

    Amelia McDonell-ParryJune 17, 2008 //

    In a sudden death match against underdog Rocco Mediate, Tiger Woods pulled out his third U.S. Open win yesterday. Sports expert-types are calling it his best performance, which we kind of agree with, because honestly? Since when do we care about golf? We were on the edge of our seats! It doesn’t hurt that Tiger is super fine to look at — who knew golfers could be so muscle-y? Anyway, we just wish one thing for Tiger — can he please develop a new celebratory stance? When he bends his knees and pumps his fist, it looks sort of like he is sitting on a toilet. Keep reading »

    Golf Is Good

    Catherine StrawnMay 30, 2008 //

    Get thee to a golf course. A new study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports says that the death rate for golfers is 40 percent lower than for other people of the same sex, age, and socioeconomic statues. This corresponds to a 5-year increase in life expectancy, and golfers with a low handicap (that means they’re good) are the safest. I gotta get a set of clubs. [EurekAlert!] Keep reading »

    The Daily Hotness: Luke Wilson

    SimchaFebruary 26, 2008 //

    While his nickname may be “One-Take Wilson”, Luke certainly makes us do a double take. He’s so casually fine, from his chiseled cheekbones to his laid back attitude, he can even pull off being in love with his (adopted) sister in The Royal Tenenbaums and still make us swoon. But Luke, aka Richie “Baumer” Tenenbaum, doesn’t just play athletes on the big screen, he’s quite the sportsman in real life too. In college, he was a track and field star before he even wanted to be in movies. Recently featured in Golf Digest as one of the Top 40 golfers in Hollywood, the magnetic man we wanna bring home to mama is now even more up to par. In addition to being a talented actor, director and writer, the stylish leading man is designing a new set of sophisticated sportswear for Puma. His line, which will hit stores in April, will be an homage to 50’s country club leisurewear. Although we’re sure the clothes will make the man even more classically dashing, we secretly wish they were see through. But that’s not very functional. Keep reading »
