Tiger Woods was in a car accident. It was serious enough that a neighbor had to call 911 and an
unconscious Woods (lying in the middle of his street) had to be rushed to the hospital.
Over the last few days, the police have tried three times to interview Tiger about the accident. This is normal protocol for any U.S. Citizen. But apparently nothing about Tiger is normal because he is above our law. Er... that's at least what Tiger seems to believe.
Wouldn't it be just peachy if we could all pick and choose which laws we want to follow, like Tiger does?
From what I read, Tiger is upset with gossip reports questioning his fidelity. The latest statement on his Web site asks for privacy during this personal time and does a fair job of lashing out at the media who have covered this fairly typical celebrity tale.
I have no idea whether Tiger's supposed affair has anything to do with his accident or not. But, the world's number one golfer looks like a big, spoiled brat right now. And by the way, everyone (even those who don't like golf) have now tuned into this bizarre story because Tiger is stonewalling the authorities. And, we all want to know why.
Talk about creating your own public relations disaster. The man's image is sinking by the hour because in the absence of information from Tiger, (any details would be fine,) he is leaving himself wide open to all kinds of speculation. And, this makes little sense coming from a living legend who has spent many years carefully sculpting his professional image for kids and adults alike.
Is he simply frustrated and needs time to stomp his feet and cool off? Or, is there something more insidious to this fire hydrant car wreck story?
Either way, I have a few basic public relations suggestions for Tiger that might help to stop his image from crashing and burning. (Sorry for the pun, but i couldn't resist.)
For starters, I’d recommend that he immediately remove his lawyers, agent and managers from being his mouthpiece. This entourage comes across as cold and too calculated. More to the point, it makes us feel like Tiger can't deal with every day crises or problems at all (which is clearly the truth.) I'd also tell Tiger to break his silence now. Speak to the police and let the world know that you don't truly believe celebrities (like you) can live by a different set of rules than all the regular Joes who watch, root for and adore you. Sure, rehearse what you need to say and have a lawyer present to protect anything that needs protecting. You've already had three days to get this part right.
Tiger, the clock is ticking and your reputation is on the line.
