More scrutiny for Tiger.
On Wednesday, the troubled golfer, 34, was spotted for the first time since his sex scandal exploded last November, jogging in Orlando, Fla. And people can't stop buzzing over his figure.
The New York Post called him "Tubby Tiger" on its over Thursday.
NBC Sports blogger Rick Chandler remarked: "I'm not saying that Tiger is in any danger of getting booted off of an airplane and his seat given to Kevin Smith [the director who was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight because he was deemed too fat]. It's just that it's clear there was no lock on the fridge at Gentle Path [where Woods reportedly was treated for sex addiction]."
Sniped one Faded Youth Blog commenter: "He really looks fat. Hope that trainer helps him get into shape." Added another: "He looks pear shaped."
See Tiger and his wife in happier times
Even Jaimee Grubbs - who first spoke to Us Weekly about her fling with the golfer - weighed in.
"He looks bigger," she told Inside Edition in an interview airing Thursday.

Woods -- who has said he works out three hours as many as six days a week -- has previously talked about his weight struggles.
In a 2007 Men's Fitness interview, he said he was scraggly growing up. When he left Stanford University in 1996 after his sophomore year, the 6-foot-2 athlete weighed just 158 lbs.
"Dad would say, 'You probably won’t hit your optimal weight until you're 30 or 35,'" Woods said. "I said, 'I'm trying to put on weight.' He said, 'It ain't gonna happen. When the body says it's time to fill out, it'll fill out.'"
Tell Us What You Think
47This picture is a fake. US Weekly has two stories with the same picture. Look at 'Tiger goes for a jog for the first time since car crash' Same photo...
Change your name back to Eldrick (your birth name ) and just disappear and do charity work . We are through with you pal and all the money you syphoned off with your God -given skills.
I am a recovering alcoholic. I weighed 115 lbs when I gave up alcohol.Today, 12 years later, I have had no alcohol but I now weigh 160lbs. I believe withdrawal does something to the body's metabolism. Tiger is suffering from sex withdrawal. Once he gets back in the saddle, he'll regain his former physique.
the media will let this story alone if his wife divorces him.it is not golf that was his greatest asset it was the lovely blond that he had for his wife and detroyed her with possibly STDS
i predict that he will gain alot of weight and marry one of his mistresses because that will be all that he can get!!!he should take 2 years off golf and do charity work.His marriage is over but they may be friends with him because of the children. He will NEVER get the chance to sleep with his ex again.Momma can jump and down all about this if she wants to -she should have raised a son with integrity.
I wish I was that fat.
this is a fake picture!!!! he was just on TV and looked great!!! FAKE PICTURE
SCREW US NEWS>> THESE PEOPLE ARE CHEATS THIS PICTURE IS FAKE!!!! I JUST SAW TIGER ON TV AND HE LOOKS BETTER THAN EVER
Now he is finding pleasure in food. Common problem when giving up addictions. Let the man have his wh0res. It's for his health, lol! :D
Tiger just read his statement on TV... it was heartfelt - I felt his remorse. I'm proud of him.
'Tubby' is the nicest thing I can think of to call him. He's way worse than just tubby. He's a serial adulterer. And in my book, that makes him lower than whale poop.
O poor Elin, everybody is worrying about what Tiger did.He doesnt owe an apology to no body .What about the fact that Elin should have been arrested and prosecuted. Nobody isnt saying anything about that. No its just poor ol Elin. It doesnt matter what Tiger did . She had no right to assault him. She should had been locked up. If it was the other way around.People would be all upset ala (Chris Brown / OJ)
He doesn't look fat.Its just a bad picture. A tree is right behind him blending in with his shirt making him look thicker in the middle than he really is and part of his shirt on the other side is flying out from the wind. Any IDIOT can see that!!! What a STUPID thing to comment on!!!!!!
I guess the lack of sex is causing the weight gain!
he is just fat. no more drugs will do this to you every time! :)
Hey, The Vet way too funny.
It's still hard to believe how easy it is for everyone to focus on the negative (hey, I am guilty of it, too, although I try to stay conscious of choosing compassion): Rather than give the guy any affirmation for choosing rehab, or for going jogging instead of grabbing more food, out come the snide remarks. I was as unpleasantly surprised as anyone by the news of what Tiger has done extramaritally, but now he and his wife should have an opportunity to choose their path without the barrage of negative energy.
Is it just me, or is he floating also? Take a look at this picture and the one on TMZ and tell me if this one is doctored! This mag is so messed up. He's a good looking man.
I don't know which, but one of the photos was definitely photoshopped. Crazy! Good spot Kruella!
If you've seen the pictures of him at the golf course, he's skinny like the thinner picture of him on here. They photoshopped this picture to make him fat and to have a lame ridiculous story. Absolutely pathetic on their part.
