CBS may have jumped into the deep end of the pool of gossip with this story. Apparently, CBS is going to roll with their theory that Tiger Woods not only cheated on his wife, but he faces addictions to prescription drugs and even sex.

This is pretty wild. For a guy who has admitted nothing thus far and faces zero concrete evidence of wrongdoing, I am a little shocked about how far the media is willing to go with speculation.

That said, I am not overwhelmingly sympathetic. As I noted before on this blog, by choosing not to confront this issue, Tiger left himself very open for attack from fans and the media alike.

Only time will tell if our game's greatest hero happens to be a sex addict, cheater, drug abuser, and a poor driver.

He was mentioned in a few sketches, but I think this one is the best. Here's the video.

Enjoy.

At any rate, I wanted to discuss a phenomenal option for golfers planning a trip to Europe. I have discussed several top-rate courses in the UK before, but I think an often underrated golf location is the vacation destination for Europe: Spain.

Specifically, I'd like to talk about the La Manga Club. La Manga is located in Cartagena, which is in the southeastern region of the country. Known for its sights and warm weather, Cartagena is a popular location for tourists.

If you are thinking of a trip to Spain, the La Manga Club should be on your list of things to do. Offering three golf courses on-site, it is no surprise that La Manga has been rated "Europe's leading golf resort." The courses have hosted numerous prestigious professional and amateur tournaments including the Spanish Open.

Aside from three championship courses, there is also a pitch-and-putt course on the property that will allow you to play a purely recreational round with a spouse or the entire family.

For those looking to improve their games while on vacation, a full service golf academy is located on site.

Although golf is certainly my favorite amenity at the La Manga Club, the resort provides guests with dozens of other entertainment options. These include everything from scuba diving to cricket games to horseback riding.

There are two options for guests to house on the property. One is a five star hotel that sits next to two of the resort's courses. The other is a resort village, which offers a combination of apartments and townhouses.

If you are looking to golf in Spain, you should definitely consider a trip to La Manga. The resort's courses and atmosphere make it a "can't miss" destination.

Welcome to Tiger Parking Slam.

On AddictingGames.com, players can drive an SUV just like Tiger Woods on the night of his accident. However, you must be sure to avoid fire hydrants, mansions, and trees, or you will be chased by an upset Elin Woods holding a golf club.

Give the game a try here. It doesn't look like the controversy is blowing over any time soon.

This morning, US Magazine, a celebrity gossip publication, released a video that included what seems to be Tiger Woods' voice. On the recording, Tiger commands Jaimee Grubbs, a Los Angeles cocktail waitress and the second to come forward this week as a mistress of Tiger, to change her voicemail in order to prevent Elin Woods from learning of their relationship.

Here is the video:

I was still pulling for Tiger before this, but the evidence is piling up. It seems like Grubbs is more than another attention-seeker looking for a brief moment in the sun.

Surprisingly, Tiger has finally responded to these charges. Well, sort of. On TigerWoods.com, Tiger's official website, he posted this morning:

I guess that is kind of a confession. You can see the full blog post here. What follows is a statement by Tiger that he deserves privacy and that the media scrutiny over the past week was in some way unfair. He also notes that Elin did not, in fact, attack Tiger on the night of his accident.

Frankly, I'm not feeling a lot of sympathy for Tiger Woods right now. Even Eliot Spitzer and John Edwards had the guts to confront the issue in the public. As far as respecting Tiger as a person, he definitely has reached a new low in my book.

However, maybe he has a point about how the public has no right to scrutinize every detail of his personal life.

I am not so sure. The issue is that Tiger Woods has chosen to be a highly public figure. Try walking through a mall or airport in the United States and not running into an Accenture advertisement with Tiger overcoming some obstacle. It's tough.

The Tiger Woods franchise has allowed him to make a billion dollars hitting a ball into a hole with a stick because he is highly, highly marketable. Tiger has exploited that opportunity to give himself the most desirable position in the world of sports. This is exactly what he signed up for.

Unfortunately, as we have seen time and time again, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

I have trouble seeing how avoiding the issue will work out in the long run for Tiger. The public wants answers, and if he doesn't give them to us, people will turn to TMZ and the other leaders of the gossip world. His value to major corporations will plummet, and his iconic status will be challenged.

ESPN is reporting that Tiger is not up to full speed yet, and so will be unable to travel and compete this year.

That's bad news for golf fans, perhaps, but Tiger has some larger concerns on his plate right now.

Over the weekend, the rumor mill has churned out a number of theories as to what took place the night after Thanksgiving. Tiger continues to remain silent on the issue.

Although his family has refused to speak with police several times, the story that is emerging seems to cast doubt on the "cheating scandal turned domestic abuse" plot line.

The couple that called 911 told the media that Elin Woods requested they do so. Previously, we were told that she made no effort to inform the authorities of the accident. They also say she showed sympathy and behaved like a woman who did not beat her husband with a golf club minutes before his crash.

Good signs for the Woods family. Nevertheless, as long as the public remains entirely in the dark, the potential for this incident to scar the career of Tiger Woods remains.

Although new facts aren't emerging, bloggers, golf fans, and the media are forming their own opinions as to what occurred over the past several days.

Jason Sobel of ESPN brings up a valid point. It is time for Tiger Woods to proactively reach out to the public to discuss the injury and the accusations.

Whether he likes it or not, the image Tiger has been constructing since he left Stanford is being stained every hour that he chooses to avoid the issue.

As you may have read, the Woods family has turned away Florida officers multiple time to avoid addressing the story Elin gave to police after the accident. Virtually everyone from the general public to the authorities are entirely in the dark about this issue.

If Tiger wants to rebound unscathed, the window is closing. Woods absolutely must explain what on earth has happened to his life, or his image may be irreversibly damaged.
