I agree. I think he should have told the police the truth the first time out. I don’t care what happens in the court of public opinion. I mean it is his life. I am not huge on celebrities but when you are avoiding the police and the reason why they might be in there and continuing to question you is due to a domestic issue. The correct answer would have been to answer their questions instead of shooing them away.

Of course, this might be a good reason why he’s not doing that:

I agree wholeheartedly that Tiger doesn’t owe the public an explanation per se.

That being said, if he tells the police the truth – and you’re right that he should – wouldn’t that eventually become public knowledge since it’s a public record?

Therefore, wouldn’t the best PR practice have been to get out in front of it?

I can imagine: “We are working out issues in our marriage and ask for privacy. We have both made mistakes but are committed to trying to work things out for the sake of our children. We won’t have any further comment at this time.”

Then clam up, tell the truth to the police and go underground for three months. By then, everyone will be back to obsessing about what Michelle Obama will be wearing to the next State Dinner.

(By the way – have you noticed that we haven’t heard anything from Britney Spears in months? Word has it she’s now repped by Josh Morgan who collects a fat monthly retainer but has only said four words to his client since the signing: “SHUT THE HECK UP!” :>)
