Default Tiger Stirring Up Vegas

I read that Tiger Woods' return to professional golf has Las Vegas sports books all stirred up. They are welcoming his return thats for sure. And at least this time it's the books getting the attention rather than the nightclubs because of Tiger!



I guess for time that Tiger was gone from golf the books saw a pretty dramatic drop in action. Now they are all aflutter since he his back.

Quote:
"With him away from the game, we saw a drop in betting for golf," said Jason McCormick, director of the Red Rock Resort race and sports book. "We feel like we'll get a much better following with Tiger back."
I am glad that Tiger is back. I don't agree with his personal decisions but in my opinion that has nothing to do with him as a professional golfer. He has changed the face of golf and for the better I think. Everyone has a personal life though and we all make mistakes. Thats just life.

I saw his interview this morning on the local news and if you ask me he was very numb when answering questions about his past affairs.He had an excuse for everything and tip toed around the real issues that where brought up.

I really don't care because all I like about him is the fact that he plays golf so good.As long as it involves golf then I listen an watch but his personal life should be exactly that.

We as his fans have no business knowing about his personal life and the paparazzi should leave this issue alone if you ask me.If I got famous for some reason or another I would not want them all up in my life like that.

Family business is family business and we should just involve people for what they are know for and leave their personal lives to them.

I'm glad to see Tiger return to golf. I think he's an excellent golfer and whether anyone likes it or not, he's changed the face of golf. I'm not real into watching golf and never was, but when Tiger plays I watch. I can only imagine all the sports books in Vegas are saying - thank god Tiger is back to bring in the bets.

He may have tip toed around the questions asked of him at his press conference, but honestly - I don't care about his personal life. Now, I don't agree with what he did and it was wrong of him. His family has had to deal with this in the public eye, which I'm sure made it all the more harder. It's over with, he's apologized and is now dealing with it. I think people need to drop it and let him and his family deal with this privately.

There were a lot of people who didn't think that he would do so well once he returned because of being out of the sport for around five months. Though of course Tiger proved all who were thinking like that wrong.

Though all of Tiger's fans are extremely happy to see him finally return. Golf just hasn't been the same with out him.

I also have to say that it was horrible the way his personal life was splashed all over the tv and the newspapers. Everyone deserves a bit of privacy, though it seem that Tiger Woods was just not allowed to have that kind of privacy.

No wonder those who are famous tend to seclude themselves away from everyone. It is to avoid all this kind of crap!!

I have never been one to really watch golf at all, though I still don't think that what happened should have been thrown in everyones faces.

Hopefully everyone will stop and allow Tiger Woods to get back into the full swing of things out on the green where he shines the most.

It's ridiculous how most of the public tends to live their lives vicariously through celebrities. It's like they have to know every single detail of their lives. I know I wouldn not ever be able to live that way. It would make me crazy to have everyone knowing my business. As far as Tiger is concerned I don't care if he tip toes the questions all day long. I just want to know what his golf score is. Anything else just isn't any of my business.
