While women across America eye Tiger Woods' wife and Swedish model Elin Nordegren and wonder why Tiger would cheat, notorious pubs like the New York Daily News rush to address the answer.
"People who have affairs typically do so because something is lacking," says psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser to the NYDN. "You can be the world’s best golfer, role model and endorsement spokesman and still not feel good inside."
"Unfortunately, some individuals who’ve mastered sports and the art of making money still haven’t managed to master a relationship filled with respect and trust," the Daily News quoted Kaiser as saying. Adding that 30% of men cheat and "these men don’t have good coping skills." She says "when things are rough at home, they go outside the home rather than trying to fix things."
Kaiser told the NYDN, "The message they send is: I’m putting my energy into someone else’s home and into some other woman."

Cathy Meyer, a Certified Divorce Coach, Marriage Educator and Legal Investigator who isn't treating the couple says on her blog the effects of marital affairs can have major effects on health.
"There are many reasons for cheating [but] usually it is done without much thought or consideration of the effects it can have on the other person," she says.
In the expert opinion polled by the Daily News, Kaiser also mentions Tiger's "rough childhood".
"His father (shown with Tiger at left) put pressure on him," she told the News. "And this can make someone grow up doubting themselves. A temporary way to fix this is to have extra women around."
The Daily News also interviewed Psychologist Paul Schienberg, author of “You Can’t Afford to Break Up" who said Tiger's power trip was underneath his perfect, family-man image.
"Men like Tiger Woods have a large ego and they need a high level of excitement," Schienberg told the Daily News. "Even if it risks his whole image, he needs that adrenaline rush and he is willing to risk it all. There’s definitely another Tiger Woods inside the Tiger Woods who we see."

Rough childhood? PPPPPPPPPPPuuuuuuuuuuuuuullllllllllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's always somebody/something else's fault. Sorry, but we all make our own beds. Some people just get away with putting the responsibility off. Get it? Psychologist?
Oh here we go again with this "poor me i had a bad childhood". what a crock. you have been blessed with talent and looks and you choose to waste it. No Excuse..it is all about "self" i feel for the wife, trying to keep a marriage together. she deserves a lot better. and if one is sorry they would not keep doing it...Oh. but when caught they always say sorry. he would probaly still be doing it if he had not been caught.
Sage! You feel sorry FOR HIS WIFE!!? She got paid seven figures to stay WITH HIM! I would feel sorry if she didn't take it. she's getting paid and likes it. she wins either way
Rough Childhood? I wish I had his childhood! loving father, great mother! who said this! come now.... I wish all the black kids could have had obama's and Tigers 'rough Childhood" Stop it he likes sex, he has a high sex drive, he's a man, he's got power, fame and money, that attracts women and likes being needed, nothing more! LOL Love these articles get's me going! Great job Sonny!
Sage this isn't' going to stop Tiger, he will be doing it again in a year or so... lol women listen up! Check the sex drive, if yours low and he's is high he will cheat, hell he will cheat if he has money status and fame, hell he'll cheat if he has the opportunity. Stop living in the land of la la. If you are married, your man has cheated on your at least once. I will debate anyone on this fact. lol Communicate, plan how many you will take, what's your limit. Give him one at least because it's a given. Am I bitter, nope. I think healthy open relations can work if you know the rules. Clearly tiger's wife did not. But maybe she did, she got the cash! LOL
I'll debate that with you! I've been married for almost 26 years and have never cheated on my wife. Does that make me exceptional?
Richard I LUVVVV YOUUUUU!!! Finally a man married forever that hasn't cheated on his wife!!! (Hope it's true) Keep it up and I hope your wife treasures you!!
I'm boycotting these sickos @ the AP, and all the endorsement that supports this pathetic wood cheater. Nike can go to hell as well. A two face liar and all he did was use his family image to help his image that help make him even more millions,, Elin is entitled for that money and i hope she gets as much as she can. Elin gave him 2 kids love, and support, without even caring about being in the spotlight. (when was she last in a interview? or seeking publicity and attention during there 5 year marriage before his wicked ways. She is smart, and educated. That tiger used and abused her and became arrogant. Elin is my hero. The fact is Tiger gets millions because the consumer pays for his products, and therefore are mad he deceived us as well. He will never be the same in my book, i hate him.
