Star should ‘say bye-bye’ and become a playboy

Donald Trump has told Tiger Woods that he should end his marriage, write it off as a “bad experience” and become an international playboy.

The businessman, who wants to build the world’s best golf course at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire, stunned television viewers in America yesterday by claiming the golfer should “say bye-bye” and move on.

Mr Trump, who has been married three times, said the best thing Woods could do now was get back to the sport which made him a multimillionaire.

“Tiger’s a friend of mine and I have a lot of respect for Tiger as an amazing athlete, but this whole thing has got totally out of hand,” he said.

“I have a whole question as to whether they should even get back together.

“It’s so damaged and if the reports are just half true I would recommend Tiger call it a bad experience, say bye-bye, go out and be a wonderful playboy and win tournaments and have a good life.

“I think the whole concept of them getting together is not in the best interest necessarily of either one.

“It’s so badly damaged that every time they have a little argument she’s going to look at him with blood pouring out of her eyes.”

The property developer also believes the reaction to the sex scandal has not been handled well by the Woods camp, right up to yesterday’s announcement when no questions were to be allowed from the small number of reporters allowed in.

“I would have rather seen him do this (returning to the public arena) a lot earlier,” Mr Trump added. “The most important thing Tiger can do is get back on the golf course and win. This whole thing with sex rehabilitation, I’m not sure I’m a believer.

“I think the whole thing is crazy. Accenture have a tournament (in Tucson) and they were the first sponsor to drop Tiger.

“Look, Tiger will never again make the kind of money he was making because these great companies are probably never coming back no matter what happens.

“Tiger will hopefully be the greatest golfer ever again. I think the main thing is that he plays great golf and wins major championships.”
