In an article filed under Culture/Socity/Politics in its May issue (on stands today), Vanity Fair promises “the most complete account to date of the golfer’s secret life.” Remember life back in a different time before there were things like exposés and one-act play press conferences and photo spreads of a golf champion’s escorts sprawled hotel beds with their asses dangerously close to their room-service breakfasts? Me neither, silly! After the jump, we scatter a few Subway chicken wrap crumbs from “The Temptation of Tiger Woods”…
- People close to Tiger and his company knew about the affairs and helped mistresses schedule events and avoid tabloid mayhem
- Something about a tampon…I can’t.
- Tiger’s late father, Earl, was a womanizer and heavy drinker who once wore “little hot pants — short-shorts” to an awards dinner. The horror!
- Sometimes Tiger, Michael Jordan, and a source named Robin Hood 702 would gamble privately in Vegas with “150 grand on one hand.” Tiger did this even though John Merchant had forbidden him from playing with that bad seed Jordan. “Are they [Jordan and Charles Barkley] his black role models? You’re got to be kidding me,” said Merchant.
- The nicest thing cheap-ass Tiger bought for Mindy Layton was a chicken wrap from Subway. The only woman he did spend money on was Playboy model Loredana Jolie Ferriolo, and she had to go on the shopping spree herself, just like Julia Roberts.
- I really think Subway’s getting a bad rep here. There’s comfort in a Subway. Sometimes you’re walking down the street and the entire atmosphere is like WHOA STEAMED BREAD and you’re like “Where’s the Subway?” You spot it and continue with your day. It’s fun.

Why does EW feel the need to cover Tiger? It’s like Sports Illustrated covering Twilight.
Yeah but sports fall under the catergory of entertainment, while entertainment does not fall under the catergory of sports. It’s like a square being a rectangle but a rectangle not being a square.
Brings a whole new meaning to “five dollar foot long”!
Annie you’re hilarious
The handwriting was on the wall for the whole story when Tiger started hanging with Jordan, Barkley and Kobe Bryant, who all contributed mightily to the “how to screw around on your wife” bible.
I think it started way before that. When Earl Woods announced that Tiger was going to move nations and be more important to history than Nelson Mandela, a self-entitled narcissistic golfing Frankenstein monster was created.
If Vanity Fair can cover it, I’d say it’s fair game for EW. Aside from that, now you’ve made me click on the link to find out what the tampon story is to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks, Annie!
Vanity Fair is a magazine, not a tabloid. Who really needs to know that Tiger Woods bought his mistress a chicken wrap from Subway? I can’t believe a serious magazine like that would produce such a sleezeball story. No wonder journalism is dying.
I should be surprised that Vanity Fair could stoop so low as to become a “rag” magazine. I won’t be buying it anymore and neither will my coworkers and friends. We’ve discussed how trashy you’ve become. Why do you have to get your sales like this..get over yourselves and write about good stuff. Let the Enquirer handle that
tw, when you win in ga this weekend, none of this will matter…do not blame mj or cb, tw is an adult.
The current revelation list is the tip of the iceberg. It is a long log list. A few weeks in LA will do nothing to improve poor character which is developed over years. It’s just a matter of time.
