When you are a globally known sports celebrity, it is obvious to encounter media, and Tiger Woods was not untouched. It was media channels only where Woods received a huge fan following, and the news of his victories was flashing on tv screens.
However, it is only sometimes a path of roses with the media. It can be a blessing in disguise, but sometimes, it can be the reason for the fall.
The same was true when the media highlighted the golfer’s alleged scandal in 2009. Despite hard times, he rose like a champion. However, the highlight of the alleged scandal led to Woods’ separation from his former wife, Elin Nordegren.
There was another incident where the former number-one golfer did not have an excellent encounter with the media. He recalled the times during his interview with TIME by Lorne Rubenstein.
