His Stutter
On 60 Minutes, Tiger revealed that he got over his stutter when he was a child in two different ways. One was his school, and the other one was practicing speaking by talking to his dog! This struggle was his motivation in creating the Tiger Woods Learning Center in 2006. Not many knew about his stutter and the struggles that he had to overcome because of it. It was only revealed when he wrote a letter to a boy who was thinking of committing suicide. He wrote, “I know what it’s like to be different and to sometimes not fit in. I also stuttered as a child and I would talk to my dog and he would sit there and listen until he fell asleep. I also took a class for two years to help me, and I finally learned to stop.”

A Mess
It was in November 2009 that the National Enquirer released an article claiming that Tiger Woods was having an affair with Rachel Uchitel, a nightclub manager in New York City. Rachel immediately denied the accusations. Two days after the article was released, Tiger Woods fled from his Florida mansion in his car and drove into a fire hydrant, several hedges and a tree near his house. He minor lacerations in the face were treated and he was given a ticket for careless driving. There was a lot of media attention in the said accident but Woods claimed sole responsibility for the accident in the media statement that he released. In the same statement, he credited his, Elin, for helping him. Several days later, he made an announcement that he would be resting because of his injuries and would not be appearing at any tournaments.
