Tiger Woods deserves privacy, but the public has right to know what happened

I’m not all that familiar with law enforcement in Los Angeles, especially at the top levels. For all I know, Sheriff Alex Villanueva might be great in reducing crime, though he does appear to be a little star struck when it comes to Tiger Woods.

After covering Woods since he turned pro, I am familiar with the people who surround him. And if the sheriff is counting on them to green light the release of information from the scene of Woods’ accident last month, well, don’t wait by the phone.
