We wanted to believe he was above the fraudulent fray, true to his family values, good and wholesome enough to help shape the world well into the future. That's what Tiger Woods was destined to do, according to his late father. "Tiger will do more than any other man in history to change the course of humanity," Earl Woods once said famously.More than Buddha, he said. More than Gandhi, he said. More than Nelson Mandela, he said. "Because he has a larger forum than any of them,'' he theorized.
Well, this isn't quite what the old man had in mind. Remember all the occasions at golfing majors when Tiger would credit his wife and family for his maturity, his equilibrium, his historic preeminence on the course? All of that was a lie, apparently. Because a week after the 2007 Masters, when his wife, Elin, was two months away from delivering their first child, Woods is said to have met a Los Angeles cocktail waitress named Jaimee Grubbs at a Las Vegas nightclub. Thus began an affair that lasted more than 2 1/2 years and involved more than 300 text messages between them, some of which, if true, take sex texting to new levels of long-distance body heat.
