Things were getting a little too hot, she lashed out, he left, and she followed and continued her attack. Clearly she's in the wrong here. No question, unless he struck her first... but since no one's reporting any physical abuse that she's suffered, it seems she's the aggressor. Yeah, cheating is a shitty thing to do, but it isn't illegal, and doesn't warrant being physically assaulted. And some of the double standard business I'm seeing on this thread is ridiculous. Urgh. Being a wronged woman does not justify physical violence. And yah, the whole golf club thing just ups the ante into felony assault with the intent to do serious bodily harm.
If it went down as speculated, hopefully Tiger can overcome the stigma and speak out truthfully today. Assault is still assault, but it takes a "bigger" person who is larger and stronger to succumb to a good few licks without retaliating, while possibly attempting to restrain an attacker, or riding it out in measured control until you can walk away. No shame in that.

The police clearly don't want to investigate this case or get involved at all. When the police came to interview Tiger the first time the wife told them he was sleeping and they just left! If she were a he, there is no way they would have been all "Sure, we can come back at another time. No problem".

I was in no way justifying domestic violence (See School of Obviousness).
But from the School of Commonsense and Knowledge of Nasty Spousal Relations, I can tell you that, assuming what people surmise is correct:
A very attractive, still young woman, i.e., still wants to preserve her looks, who is the mother of young children, i.e., wants to protect her tender offspring, does not wail on her super-successful, multimillionaire, celebrity husband who's been rumored to have been a non-stop Lothario/Don Juan for just nothing.
He said something. It was probably outrageous.
Further Affiant Sayeth Not.
And a good weekend to all.

What she said or what he said is of no consequence in this debate.

We don't even know what happened, how can you possibly say that?
People lose their tempers and it devolves into physical violence all the time. It would be better if it didn't, but ithas been known to happen.
What was said does matter.
Personally, assuming that what's been reported is accurate, I am not particularly mystified.

It's would not be acceptable because it happens on a daily basis.

And comon, do we really think that the sports superstar plus drop dead gorgeous wife are a "true" couple?
Yeah, I'm sure if he wasn't Tiger Woods and she wasn't beautiful, eHarmony would totally match them up.

Judge Smails: You know, you should play with Dr. Beeper and myself. I mean, he's been club champion for three years running and I'm no slouch myself.
Ty Webb: Don't sell yourself short Judge, you're a tremendous slouch.

And isn't Rachel Uchitel a little over used for him?

However, on the flip side, people who read that story and bought it without having an internal Drudge siren going off in their heads should probably just go out and drown themselves in the first Port-O-Potty they come across, because life is just going to sodomize their souls continuously until it finally puts them out of their misery.

But, really, A+ on the Drudge siren reference. I love me a good Drudge siren reference.

One thing I'm amazed by: Elin turned state troopers away for questioning TWICE? There's an element of rich-guy privilege here.
