Tiger Woods Once Made "Profane" Digs About Black Athletes, Lesbians

The public shouldn't be so surprised by the Tiger Woods sex scandal, says Pulitzer Prize winner Buzz Bissinger.
In February's Vanity Fair, Bissinger recalls a 1997 GQ interview that Woods gave when he was 21. The golfer, now 33, made a "series of profane quips" about women, sex and athletes that now provide "a sustained glimpse of the real Tiger Woods," writes Bissinger, who refers to Woods as a "sex addict."

At one point, Woods said during the tape recorded interview: "What I can't figure out is why so many good-looking women hang around baseball and basketball. Is it because, you know, people always say that, like, black guys have big dicks?"
Bissinger notes that during a photo shoot -- "where four women attended to his every need and flirted with him as he flirted back" -- Woods told a joke. He rubbed the tips of his shoes together and then asked the women, "What's this?" Woods then replied. "It's a black guy taking off his condom."

Woods also cracked that lesbians are "faster" at sex than gay men because women "are always going 69," Bissinger notes.
Bissinger writes that the interview "was the only honest and open one Woods has ever given. After that the steel wall of insulation came down, spearheaded by I.M.G.," his agency.
See Tiger Woods in better times!
Joe Logan, a co-founder of a Web site called MyPhillyGolf.com, tells Vanity Fair that Woods -- who has an estimated net worth of $600 million -- fraudulently created an image so he could earn as much money as possible through endorsements.

"He held himself out to a higher standard he created and built and cashed in on," he tells the magazine. "Everyone feels duped and betrayed. It's not like some guy who got drunk and jumped in the sack with some waitress."
Tell Us What You Think
80and p.s., you sound like a white woman hater and it's possible one may have really hurt you something bad in the past given your racist attitude- white men, asian men, whatever - it does not matter - it's the man not the color idiot - the person. But look who I am appealing with a tag name like that............sigh................you sound racist as all get out! P.S. - women like class, period.
Dear Whyte Woman Slayer - I am really sickened by your racist remarks - hate to dissapoint but I don't really crave "Jungle fever" - I'm into "Spain" - as in Spanish men, as in "elegant". Tiger is not a sexy man at all - he's goofy looking and sorry honey, money doesn't cut it in the bedroom - you can't buy sex appeal! And I'm a white Nicole Kidman look-alike darling.......
Neil, are you stupid? The article is about his fraudulent image - how he truly is "behind the scenes" and how he used that image to really score in endorsements. His golf has nothing to do with his image either. Because he's a total slime ball, we aren't supposed to discuss his image?? You should put your rules out there..
Every white woman on this board would take a hunk of Tiger's d*ck if they could get it. Stop fronting. You all WISH you could get that wood! In your fantasies, you get it every night while Lil Blond Johnny is on top being inadequate. Stop hating on that Jungle Fever you really crave. At least Elin got her some.
This STUFF did come out before, in 1997 GQ. Read the article Yan. To clarify, Tiger thinks he's Asian because he is half Asian. We can tell by the jokes what stereotypical 'black feature he did not inherit! Also, William Penn, how is he going to 'OJ' his wife,when she was the one with the golf clubs. As for Thomas, all men cheat, regardless of race, unless they can't (ie: too broke, too unattractive, etc...) So get off your white high horse!
his personal life is his business. talk about golf and leave the man alone he's not the first and he wont be the last to cheat on his wife
I always thought he was an arrogant s.o.b. I saw him at a tournament once and the way he treated a "regular joe" was so disappointing. In fact, he didn't have anything to do with regular folks. They weren't allowed to get within earshot of him. How sad. His arrogance is so unattractive. We know all of his conquests are stupid. However, I don't mistake Elin, his wife, as stupid. I do believe she has known about his cheating ways and wanted to believe he was sorry. What she didn't know was that as he was telling her he was sorry, he was screwing another bimbo. My gut tells me he's a drug and sex ADDICT. As far as drug addict............how many people do you know that would crash their suv into a tree and then get out and snore on the pavement? He was wasted. Sex addict? Hell yeah.
It's a matter of time before this character OJ's the old lady.
Funny how all the posts comparing him to OJ (he looks scary like OJ in this picture with that cap) are gone from this post. Someone at Us likes Tiger.
I don't understand why this idiot would bring this up now ~ 13 years later ! It did not seem to have any interest in 1997, But now that Tiger is down lets kick him more. I still say that TIGER is the greatest golfer ever......I don't really care about his personal life, It has no effect on me. What about Warren Beatty sleeping with 13,000 + ?
so why did this stuff not come out then? Afraid of Tiger?
'NOT About Power, It's About Character'-you hit the nail on the head! There was something I read a while ago which makes me NOT SURPRISED by Tigers cheating. I wish I could remember what it was.
For a guy that wants privacy all the time, I don't think this is the way to get it. I just threw up a little in my mouth.
I think that Tiger has been kicked enough. He knows what he did was wrong. Let the man try to save his marriage if it can be saved and lets move on.Some things should be kept private and this is one of those things.I will say this it is two sides to every story and maybe one day it will all come out. What he did doesn't take away the fact that the man is a great golfer. I will always be a supporter of Tiger.
We should also find out who else IMG represent and lie for, and expose more of their BS. There's no way Tiger is the only one they did this for.
Power, money and race didn't make him this way - poor parenting and character did. There's no way that this guy just one day become the sleaziest human on the planet - he's had at least two decades of practice as well as protection and approval from his sleazy team at IMG (which also stands for I'm a Mega Gigolo) - I wish we could sue them all for fraud. That article has been around for years and he's been an amazing liar. If Elin stays with him after knowing all this, then it makes her Mrs. D0uchebag and they deserve each other - too bad their children have to have such a horrible role model for a father.
Interesting article
I wasn't surprised. I believed and still believe that the 'stereotype' of the profligate black male is valid, I don't care what the media say.
Did tiger forget that he is black while he is making negative comments about black athletes.
I heard that Tigers father cheated on his mother, so therefor, you would think Tiger would want to have things much better for his children. You would think he would want the children to think he was the best dad in all that he does. Sorry to see he let his own wife and children down. It is sad when there is no respect for marriage from the husband.
