A little insight into how Tiger really makes his schedule

Everyone knows Tiger Woods aligns his golfing schedule around the four major championships. Next, he timetables the World Golf Championship (WGC) events. After that, he pencils in Arnie's and Jack's tournaments and then he fits in a few sponsor related spots. But, intertwined in all of these decisions might be the various adultery laws still on the books in the states where he decides to compete.
One of the arguments many people, including this blogist, have made is that Tiger did not break the law by being unfaithful to Elin by committing adultery. Not so fast, buffalo breath. Here are at least four states where there are still laws on the books related to adultery. He might be a little uncomfortable in these states. Notice that the 2009 PGA Championship was played at Hazeltine in Chaska, Minnesota. 
Was Tiger a little nervous that week and allow Y.E. Yang to catch and pass him on Sunday? Also, in 2004 and 1999, Tiger did not play very well at Pinehurst in North Carolina. He does play at Quail Hollow, but has always avoided Harbour Town in South Carolina. Additionally, he would probably avoid Michigan with a vengeance since the penalty for adultery there could be life imprisonment. Maryland is a "fornicator friendly" state where the only penalty, if caught, is a $10.00 fine.
Any bets if Nevada has 'fornication' or adultery laws on the books? My money is on "no way, Jose".

Do the rest of the research and find out when the last time one of these laws was enforced. I’d bet you a dollar that all 50 states plus DC have laws on the books about adultery…but none of them have been enforced in 75 years or more. Every state also has laws against sodomy, but when’s the last time you heard of a homosexual or high school kids…or any sexually active person being arrested for oral or anal sex ?
Yes – even in Nevada.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Court, isn't
Ryan from Maryland? jist sayin here….and whoa here Nellie….The good ol USA OF TEXAS just repealed the oral and anal parts of the statutes that were still on the books…State Supreme Court said it’s OK for all homosexual activity as long as it isn’t in public, so it would be offensive to a little ol Sunday school teacher from Pasadena…STUB
Gee thanks for clearing that up OEG
I have always wondered “How Tiger makes up his schedule” Why just the other day me and Rich ( hairpiece ) Lerner were sitting in front of his shrine to Tiger having that very discussion. “WHAT IF” that had never been cleared up ? hahahaha

Great article Vince
It certainly puts a different spin on the Tiger story that many might not have thought of. While I would be slightly surprised if Tiger knew these laws, I can certainly understand if a lot more goes on behind the scenes for these pros when handling a high-profile persona. Nice article.
