Tiger Woods favorability rating has dropped considerably…would a public appearance help? Tiger Woods favorability rating dropped to 34%, down from 60% in early December after his Thanksgiving car crash, according to a CNN poll reported Tuesday. In 2005, Woods favorability rating was at 85%. His image has been tarnished, his wife has left him, sponsors have dropped him or cut back on their involvement, and his favorably rating may never be as high as it was in 2005.
The CNN poll numbers did not drop as dramatically among African-Americans, two-thirds of which had a favorable view, while only 28% of whites did. Men and women favorability numbers were about the same around 40%.
Many people feel that if Woods spoke to the public that perhaps that favorability rating could be salvaged. He hasn’t been seen in public since before the Thanksgiving car crash, and his only communication has been through brief statements on his website. Woods has always been a private person, and having his personal life revealed in public is well, most likely embarrassing for him.
Woods may not care about the favorability rating right now, with everything else going on in his life right now. But when he returns to golf, he will care. And perhaps making a public statement now, may help his image in the future and squelch some of the public interest in his personal life.
Earlier this week, the NY Post reported a rumor that Woods may still be having an affair with Rachel Uchitel, the first woman who reportedly had an affair with Woods. They are both in Palm Beach, Florida this week. For more on that story, click here.

Tiger Woods has been under intense media focus for the past three weeks. A few days before Thanksgiving, the National Enquirer released a story about an alleged affair of Tiger Woods and Rachel Uchitel, and the story didn’t get much fan attention until after Woods crashed his car the day after Thanksgiving. Then multiple stories of Tiger Woods alleged affairs appeared and women came out with statements.

A few days later Jaimee Grubbs came forward with her story of an affair with Woods, and she offered proof with a voicemail from Tiger Woods and over 300 text messages from him. A few hours later, Woods released a statement on his website saying that he had hurt his family with his transgressions. To read the full Tiger Woods statement, click here.
Tiger Woods had his third knee surgery in Park City, Utah on April 15, 2008, and took two months off. He was determined to play in the US Open and win...which he did on June 14, 2008, much to everyone's amazement less than two months after his knee surgery. He was in pain during the US Open, as shown in this Associated Press photo. After the US Open, Tiger Woods took additional time off to let his knee heal.

Who cares about his articles? Elin should dump Tiger, and let him join Amway, along with his "girlfriends", as Amway also screws anything that moves. Amway is a scam, and here's why: Amway pays out as little money as they can get away with, so they support the higher level IBOs ripping off their downline via the tool scam. As a result, about 99% of IBOs operate at a net loss, while the top 1% make several TIMES more from their Amway tool scam than from the Amway products. Read about it on my blog, I suggest you start here: Google "Amway the rest of the story" and forward the information to everyone you know, so they don't get scammed.
