Tiger Woods saga leads to forgeries

NEW YORK, Wednesday

The story looked good. The Rev Al Sharpton supposedly held a press conference, at which he chastised Tiger Woods for only cheating on his wife with white women.

The the press conference never happened, and the story is bogus. The article about the supposed Sharpton press conference was a satire.
Your daddy say?

“Why is it that a man who calls himself Black can’t bring himself to cheat on his wife with a Black woman?” the article falsely claimed Sharpton told a group of supporters in Harlem. “What does it say to young Black girls everywhere when you pass them over? Shame on you, Tiger Woods. What would your daddy say?”

The Rev Sharpton himself has not commented on the hoax, or publicly denied it.

Meanwhile, Tiger Woods Dubai, part of Dubai Properties Group, has said it is committed to completing its Al Ruwaya golf course and continues to make progress on the first course created by Woods’s design firm.

“The Tiger Woods Dubai does not comment on the personal lives of our valued partners,” Tiger Woods Dubai said yesterday in an e-mailed statement.

Tiger Woods Design, a Windermere, Florida-based company headed by Woods, announced plans for the Al Ruwaya course in December 2006.

Dubai Properties is part of state-owned Dubai Holding, which may join another state-owned investment company, Dubai World, in restructuring debt, Morgan Stanley said in a December 8 report.

Woods, 33, said on December 11 that he was taking an indefinite break from professional golf, citing infidelity and the need to focus on being a “better husband, father and person.” (Agencies)
