Then he pulled out of the Las Vegas Open. ---

That’s insane alcohol abuse. Why the heck would someone buy a $25k bottle of champagne AND THEN WASTE THE CONTENTS??? ---

I don’t recall any similar stories about Woods. In fact, as I recall, prior to the discovery of his multiple affairs, his public image was pretty dang tame. ---

At least 14 women have “taken the baton” from Tiger Woods. ---

> [@Yookeroo](#): > > Yeah, I was wondering what this had to do with Tiger. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Anthony Kim, a single guy, has had a reputation of being a big partier. He didn’t keep his partying secret. He is more like John Daly than the Cheetah. ---

I’m talking about the media spotlight. I haven’t seen an article about Tiger since his divorce was final. ---

I’m actually more offended by Kim wasting a $25K bottle of Dom than I am by anything Tiger did. That’s like killing a child.
