Tiger Woods dishes about marriage and more on Golf Channel Interview

Tiger Woods sat down with Golf Channel’s Steve Sands at the Chevron World Challenge for a one-on-one interview, portions which will air within Golf Central, Wednesday, December 1st, at 6 p.m. ET. 

In the wide-ranging interview, Woods dishes on who he believes is the world’s best golfer, his departure from former swing coach Hank Haney and his lowest point on the course in 2010. 

Tiger Woods also addresses questions from Sands about how this past year – on and off the course – tested him emotionally, how the fans have received him, whether he will marry again, and how much the public has the right to know about celebrities and its heroes. 

The former number-one golfer hid from public view after his scandalous affair but has decided to make a grand re-entry with an essay written for Newsweek, "How I've Redefined Victory". Woods now also posts regularly to his Twitter account and called in to the Mike and Mike in the Morning show.

The Golf Channel Interview is simply another way for Tiger Woods to save face and show the public that he is not the ogre that many are making him out to be. The question is,

Are all of these attempts by Tiger Woods really working or has the public already made their decision?

Following Golf Central, the entire Tiger Woods interview will be available online at GolfChannel.com

Tiger Woods a no-show in Dubai but Michael Jackson may appear...

About a year before the Tiger Woods scandal, the billion-dollar golfer began a quest in Dubai to create a luxurious oasis complete with villas, mansions, palaces, a boutique hotel and an unrivaled golf course, "Al Ruwaya" or "Serenity." Recently, it was reported that "Tiger Woods Dubai" has turned into a deserted "dust-bowl", except for the million gallons of water piped in each month to keep the six holes alive.

In 2008, Woods defended his decision to create his first ever championship golf course in Dubai stating, "Dubai is basically in the biggest, greatest and newest of everything." According to the Observer, the economic boom is over and the "property-based economy in Dubai has collapsed".

If this is the case, why are the Michael Jackson Islands being proposed as a new project in Dubai?


Michael Jackson Islands proposal in Dubai

Yes, I said the Jackson Islands. "With a size of 10 by 15km, the islands are formed after the lines of Michael Jackson’s face. His face, an enclosed bay, is turning towards the continent. Unlike all the other islands in Dubai, these ones are artificial hills, reaching a peak of 3,776 metres (the height of the Fuji Mount)."

Since 2009, Tiger has not commented on his first project except to say, "The economy needs to turn around...It's out of my hands."

The telephone there is long disconnected, the furniture is covered with dust. For all intents and purposes, Tiger Woods' first project is a bust.

The Cliffs at High Carolina and Punta Brava, Woods' second and third foray into golf course design, still plan to open in 2012.

In spite of economic woes, loss of endorsements and even personal divorce woes, the Dubai Properties Group website remains open for business, ready to sell the Tiger Woods dream destination to those willing to plunk down the millions required for "the most exclusive and luxurious homes ever built in Dubai."
