None of us can know Tiger's heart. I'm not taking either side here because I, myself, could make good arguments for either side and either way, the money was much needed. Playing devil's advocate here....Maybe we are hearing about it because the media has a twist now, whereas they did not before. The media has it's ways of getting information. I guess it comes down to how the media got their information. Did Tiger release it or did someone else?

Excellent point.

As for me, I really don't care. As I said, these people need the money. I'm not too interested in whether it leaked due to Tiger's people letting it leak, or the media found out through some other means.

My point was more in line with, there are affluent people that make known their contributions show they can "feel good" and make sure EVERYONE knows they are a good person. Or, we have the affluent people who show ZERO pride and make these types of donations and do everything they can to avoid the information getting out to the public. These people are still doing this for their own reasons: 1) they do not need to feel the need for public acceptance of being a good person 2) they don't want every ton, **** and harry with a charitable cause begging them to donate for their charity.

Tiger falls into the category of affluent person who has ensured that no one knew what he did with his charitable moneys.
