Lesson Learned

After multiple allegations of affairs and rumors circulating around the media at warp speed, Tiger Woods' wife has asked him to put a hold on his golfing career if he wants to save their marriage.

Elin Woods wants to keep Tiger close at home until she can regain enough trust in him to let him go out on tour again, or until their children are old enough to go along. This means the most celebrated (and richest) golfer in the world will be hanging up his polo for a while.

In other news, Woods and his crew won a legal victory in London prohibiting British media from publishing any nude videos or pictures of the golfing star. His various mistresses have claimed to have these pictures, but the Woods team will admit to nothing. They have stated that any pictures that may come out are fabricated, but are still tight-lipped about whether or not these pictures even exist.

If I have learned anything in my PR class, it's that fast honesty is always the way to go. Look at the aftermath of David Letterman's honest confession to marital dishonesty and Tiger's way of handling everything. While Letterman will continue on as though nothing happened, Tiger is now quitting his career, and there is no telling what the final repercussions on his popularity may be. I would have to say that there is a PR lesson to be learned from Tiger, and that would be: don't be like Tiger.
