Golf fans, sports bettors, and maybe a billion (or more) people around the world know Tiger Woods as the golfer they expect to win the Masters Golf Tournament or other. Some have even wagered a good sum on the chances he would do it.

But now Tiger Woods' name is in the news, and it's not exactly the sports pages. It's the entertainment websites and worse - gossip blogs.

The world's most famous athlete is getting publicity everywhere, except for the right places.

Woods and his wife Elin, and possibly other women too (Rachel Uchitel - who are you?) have been on the news following a car accident cum mystery. Was he driving forward or reversing? Did he hit a fire hydrant or did his wife hit him with a golf club?

The Woods family refuse to speak to the Florida Highway Patrol, as is their right, and on his blog, Tiger has asked to keep this a personal matter.

If that is even possible, I am not sure. Nor am I sure what the injuries might mean for his future form on the course. If only for losing his edge as an intimidator, now revealed as vulnerable, private, perhaps even weak.

My bet is on him speaking out before someone else does. It ain't too late.
