Except that Tiger is a lot more famous, his mistresses a lot more attractive, and he has two kids instead of 8.

If anyone actually believed that Tiger's wife used a golf club to "save" him from the accident, you're kidding yourselves. Wanda Sykes provided the best explanation for what happened:

And it's also interesting how people react to these things. We don't care what the mistresses do for a living, how wealthy or famous they are, etc. People just love knowing how attractive the mistresses are relative to Tiger's wife.  

Images of Tiger's wife, and his 3 alleged mistresses below.

they're all pretty, but #4 especially. really this whole tiger thing didn't come as much surprise. he's a pro athlete and the wealthiest of them all.

my question is why did he even get married? he could've just gone the way of george clooney if he wasn't ready to settle down yet.

I always thought that monogamy is not in our DNA. And in fact, if you look at the rest of the animal kingdom, the vast majority of species are not monogamous.

We're probably just made to bang and bang some more, and pump out babies to prolong our existence.
