Tiger Woods' Father: Marriage is Unnecessary

Sunday's New York Times featured several articles on Tiger Woods. The most interesting one centered on Tiger's relationship with his kids - and his dad Earl.

Karen Crouse recalls how at the Masters tournament in April, Tiger was warmer than usual, talking about how he loved being at home with his two children.

The writer then cites a quote from Earl Woods, who died in 2006, in which he said, "I've told Tiger marriage is unnecessary in a mobile society like ours."

Tiger's father left his first wife (and three children) for Tiger's mom. It seemed the younger Woods was proving his father wrong ... but apparently not.

Such a statement from Earl Woods obviously carries more significance now, in light of the ever-expanding string of alleged Tiger Woods mistresses.

Will Tiger Woods' marriage end as a result of his cheating? Multiple reports suggest that Elin Nordegren will leave him soon, while others suggest Tiger is pulling out all the stops and she is somehow still on the fence.

Woods' father has popped up in the scandal several times before.

Tiger's high school sweetheart, Dina Parr, said Tiger "would be so upset" by the affair his father allegedly had with at least one woman while married to his mom.

One of Woods' alleged mistresses, Jamie Jungers claims she and Tiger had sex the night his father died. She claimed the two had "wild" and "crazy" sex.

Woods' mother, meanwhile, is said to be "hurt, angry and disappointed" by the scandal which has tarnished the reputation of the world's #1 golfer.
