Culture: Dear Tiger Woods: Come clean. Let us know what’s up.

  • Holding off is just making it more obvious that something happened. Tiger – we don’t admit to knowing what happened between you and your wife. We pulled open that copy of National Enquirer just to see what it said, but have no proof of anything.
