This old-fashioned kind of fame is still a posh deal, but it has lost its imperial prerogatives. Time was, you might have expected the fraternity of sportswriters or political reporters to peddle one version of you in public and save another one for their buddies at the bar. Now TMZ hits "post" instantaneously on allegations of infidelity, angry wives and golf clubs, and Google makes no distinction between respectable news and what people really want to know. When Woods said in a statement on Dec. 2, "I have let my family down," while still insisting that "personal sins should...
...Woods is equally ill suited to the kind of kimono-opening demanded by this approach. He has always been prickly with the press about his personal life.

According to a claim in the National Enquirer, Rachel Uchitel has been having an affair with golf star Tiger Woods since June. Uchitel and Woods have denied the claim but have been unable to prevent widespread Internet chatter, which speculates that the jet-setting 34-year-old was the source of a fight between Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren that led to the golfer's crashing his SUV outside...
