It is no doubt one of the hazards of stardom that nothing in your private life is beyond the reach of the press. Something happened at Tiger Woods' home over the weekend that caused him to drive his SUV into a tree. He has asked that the matter be treated as private. Good luck.
Already there are pictures of the crash up on the web. Speculation has run wild and reporters have tracked down a woman some say was having an affair with Tiger and begun probing her background. Rumors are flying and celebrity journalists are falling all over themselves to get the scoop.
In the end it will probably be nothing more than what happens all across America every night of the week. But when it happens to one of the biggest sports celebs of our lifetime people become much more interested in the private life of a golfer than the public debate over health care.
I say let's treat this matter like his appearances at the golf course and respectfully stand quiet on the tee.
