First off I'm not mad or anything. I respect your points, just having a discussion and offering counterpoints.

I'm not against making the most money you can off yourself but I think its a huge part of his life and by trying to take it from him, Its the easiest way to get back at him. Nobody needs a $100 million yacht to enjoy themselves or a $90 million complex to live in. He has that because he wants to be bigger and better then everybody.

Elin isnt some hot chick from a trailer park. Yeah she was a nanny but she's from a very rich family and would be fine if she left with 3 cents.

Tiger's first statement ever after turning pro was "hello world" which also happened to be his first marketing campaign towards establishing himself as a brand. Its hard to overlook that since day 1, most of his public life has been scripted or tailored to fit an image. While being the best golfer, everything he did was money driven and choreographed to uphold the image of him being the best.

He doesnt need that image to be the best golfer. All he has to do is go out there and play golf and it will speak for himself. He needs that image to make money. If he didnt care about the image and money, imo, he would have came out day 1 after the incident and laid it all out there. He tried to cover it all up but his squeaky clean shell is gone now and people can see the real him.

I do agree he wants to be the best ever and hold all the records but he also wants to grab as much money as he can while doing it. Thats why I orginally said he only cares about winning and money.

Golf may be 1a but money is 1b. There's no way Elin can stop him from playing golf without physically hurting him but she can definitely try to take as much money as she can.
Excellent point. And to be honest, Elin can take some of his money away... but more importantly, I think, is that she can absolutely shatter his image (beyond even what has happened so far), and truly limit his capacity to earn the ridiculous sums in the future. Write a book, be visible, and that shadow will follow Tiger... if she goes off and hides, Tiger will be back in stride in a year or two.
