On privacy

If Tiger Woods turned up at tournaments, won them, as is his wont, took the prize money then went home, then he would indeed be entitled to his privacy. But he doesn't.

The Tiger money-making machine is more embrasive than the tentacles of Rupert Murdoch.
His income is excessive, much of it derived from parading himself to the public - sponsorships, product endorsements and appearance fees.

In pursuing this course, he has abdicated any right to privacy.

Hollywood stars are well known for wooing the paparazzi when they need publicity for their new films, or to boost their flagging careers, then castigating them when exposed for scandal. Such double standards are expected of such fragile, flimsy and feckless individuals.

Tiger has used his sporting prowess to insert himself most indignantly into the public eye. He has made his bed, now he must lie in it, and if we wish to watch him doing so, he has no right to complain.

Tiger makes money when we shave using Gillette products. he advertises because he has set himself up as a role model. So we have the right to know if that is true or not. And know we want to.
