Tiger: I Need a 'Kobe Special'

Tiger Woods had a "Kobe Special" on his brain hours after what looks like a domestic dispute with his wife, Elin Nordegren -- this according to someone who spoke with Tiger on Friday.

Tiger Woods

During the phone conversation on Friday, Tiger told his friend, "I have to run to Zales to get a 'Kobe Special.'" The person on the other end of the phone asked Tiger what a "Kobe Special" was. The reply -- "A house on a finger."

During the conversation, Tiger said his wife had "gone ghetto" on him.

As we first reported, Tiger told the friend his wife had scratched his face up during an argument over a report that the golf great had cheated on her. The "other woman" named in the story -- Rachel Uchitel -- calls the report "bulls**t."

Tiger WoodsOf course, the Kobe reference is the now-famous house/ring he gave his wife Vanessa after the whole Colorado thing. We're assuming Tiger was joking, though he can certainly afford it.

Well, at least he knows exactly what kind of woman he's married too. A true blue golddigger. It's not about making amends and being faithful, it's about buying her things. And these trophy wives wonder why their men don't respect them. It's cause they know exactly what kind of women they are.

Does TMZ verify these "friends" of Tiger's that they're getting their tips from? I called TMZ once regarding a story and gave a fake statement, and you guys actually put it up. If I can do it, anyone can. Be careful who you get your information from.

Zales? Surely Tiger has better taste than that. He can afford a super duper high-end jeweler.

That is why I don't believe this ring story.

How does he not know who's leaking all this information by now?

This sounds like a phony conversation. With all that is going on, I think it's repulsive that he thinks this is so funny. He's laughing and gallivanting around with his various jumpoff(s) (plural) while she sits at home looking like a kept woman. I feel sorry for her. If I were her, I would either accept my fate as The Wife of a famous megastar athlete (also known as The Juanita Jordan Lifestyle) and all that goes along with that for as long I can or get the hell out of the marriage, take the kids and take half.

Whoopsie Tiger. If in fact Tiger is purchasing the apology gift, souns like she might have had a reason to be upset-- but of course that doesn't excuse physical violence.

I have to agree with everyone else that these "leaks" are beginning to seem a little far fetched. Anyway his wife didn't go ghetto on him, she went woman scorned on him. Did he think that he was avoiding that by not marrying a "ghetto" woman.

What an ass. It's painfully obvious that he's been cheating and he's able to be flippant and "joke" about having to buy her a ring to make amends. Let's face it, if the cheating story wasn't true, he'd have sicced his lawyers on the Enquirer instead of spending the night running away from his irate wife. A ring doesn't make up for the fact that he broke his vows and showed a lack of respect for his wife and children. Some family man. It's too bad she showed such a terrible lack of control. She should have simply grabbed her kids and went straight to a divorce attorney. Now, she has to go along with whatever coverup story his people come up with to avoid being charged with domestic violence.
