Taking the kids to get their photos taken sitting on Santa's lap every year is a heartwarming holiday tradition. The white-bearded gent welcomes the little ones into his arms, they whisper their simple wishes into his ear, and he assures them that good boys and girls can expect gifts magically delivered on Christmas Eve as he drives his reindeer-pulled sleigh all around the world.

And then there's reality!

Some Santas are angry:

Some Santas are a bit too jolly: 

And some Santas are just downright terrifying!

All of these Santas -- and many, many more, including Santas who have roving hands, Santas who have serious hangovers and Santas who just don't give a hoot -- can be found at sketchysantas.com. Here we have shrieking kids frantically trying to get away from the scary man, Santas who could pass for ax murderers and even one with a malevolent, hovering elf:

Have a great weekend, everybody!

 A source close to Tiger Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, says the Swedish model plans to divorce him. The source told ABC that a "divorce is 100 percent on." Kate Coyne, senior editor at People magazine, said, "Sources have told us that Elin [says] this marriage is over and she is looking to divorce." RadarOnline reports that a friend says, "She's not going to let Tiger talk his way out of this. There's nothing he can say to erase years of betrayal."

Nordegren has reportedly spoken to Los Angeles attorney Sorrell Trope, who's currently representing Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt in his messy divorce, and also represented Britney Spears and Nicole Kidman. But celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder says Elin might do better financially if she stays in the relationship, at least in the short term. "She stands to lose lots of money if she's suing for divorce," Felder said. "I would not bet she's suing for divorce because first of all, she has to have residency. ... Second of all, if she were my client -- and I think with any divorce lawyer -- you'd want to have your client near you so you could be there for every twist and turn. She's (said to be) off to Sweden somewhere. So I think she's maybe just going into seclusion or licking her wounds or whatever."

The ex-attorney of Dr. Tony Galea, who treated Tiger Woods after his knee surgery last year and denies that he gave the golf star human growth hormone, tells the New York Daily News that Galea is "is in no way responsible for (Woods') voracious sexual appetite." Christophe Preobrezanski, who said Galea is "one of the good guys," represented the doctor after his assistant was arrested with drugs at the Peace Bridge Sept. 14. Galea's local attorney, Mark Mahoney, also told The News that Galea "has not been doping any athletes ... That goes for Tiger Woods or any other athlete he's treated."

A copy of the sale contract for the house Nordegren just bought in Sweden shows that she signed it "Elin Woods," and paid some $2.2 million for the house. It's on a remote island without any shops and has no running water in the winter, locals say. But on the plus side, it's almost inaccessible to paparazzi.

Although Jon Gosselin's attorney said a divorce would take several weeks, Kate's attorney tells EOnline that he expects a judge to sign off on their split today at the latest. "We're expecting it either today or tomorrow," attorney Mark Momjian said Thursday. "The arbitration award has been entered, and it's final and it's binding. We're ready to make a statement as soon as we hear the decree has been signed." Meanwhile, after photos were published of Jon shooting a handgun into the woods from what used to be his back yard, a judge ordered him to stop bringing firearms onto the Wernersville, Pa., property the Gosselins once shared.

Hailey Glassman, the daughter of the plastic surgeon who did Kate Gosselin's tummy tuck, seems to be over Jon Gosselin, whom she grew close to when he stayed at her parents' house after splitting from Kate. RadarOnline.com published a photo of Glassman, 22, left, kissing celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman. The two were together at the Grey Bar in Pennsylvania to promote a celebrity boxing match tonight that will pit John Wayne Bobbitt (who grew up in the Town of Niagara) against Philly's Tony Fusco. During Glasssman's appearance at the bar, says RadarOnline, Gosselin peppered her with texts from his car outside, demanding to talk, until she finally took his call and demanded that he leave her alone.

Kevin Jonas, 22, will marry his longtime girlfriend, Danielle Deleasa, Saturday, according to E! News. The pair will wed at Long Island's Oheka Castle, a French chateau-inspired mansion that was the site of the 2004 wedding of Joey Fatone of 'N Sync to Kelly Baldwin.

Nancy O'Dell is leaving "Access Hollywood" after 13 years because she has become increasingly more uncomfortable with the sensationalistic tone of the show, a source tells People. Her contract continues for two more years, but O'Dell will appear in her final show this week. Her rep says, "The original member of the 'Access Hollywood' family, co-anchor and respected broadcast journalist Nancy O'Dell, has chosen to leave the show after 13 years. This decision is based totally on Nancy’s desire to take her career to the next level and is completely amicable. She will continue on with projects as a broadcast entertainment journalist."

Melanie Griffith appeared in public this week with a black eye, and her publicist said the bruise was caused by facial surgery for skin cancer. Her rep says the cancer was discovered and removed before it spread.

 A man accused of stalking Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck was arrested Monday outside the nursery school in Los Angeles where their daughter Violet is enrolled. Steven Burky is accused of two counts of felony stalking and two counts of disobeying a court order, which TMZ says is the restraining order requiring him to stay away from the family. If Burky posts bail, he will be prohibited from approaching within 500 feet of Garner, Affleck or their children. 

Singer Robin Thicke and wife Paula Patton are expecting a baby boy and have already selected his name -- Julian, Thicke tells Essence.com. Thicke says he looks forward to parenting the little guy: "Teaching him how to respect a woman. Teaching him music." Thicke admitted to some first-time parent jitters, too. "I'm afraid of not being patient enough, but most of the time that's when I'm scared or worried about the future," Thicke says. "I want to work on that. But my biggest fear is being able to be there, because I don't know if kids ever think their parents were there enough."

On the other side of the parenting coin is Tom Brady, whose new son with model wife Gisele Bundchen apparently still doesn't have a name. Days before delivering the baby last Tuesday, Bundchen said she didn't like the name they had selected, so it was "back to the drawing board." Although Brady already has a 2-year-old son, Jack, whose mother is Bridget Moynahan, he is experiencing the challenges of having a newborn in the house for the first time -- he and Moynahan broke up before Jack was born. Asked about his first week with the unnamed tot, Brady said, "It's good. It's good. I'm glad it's over!" He added, "I'm trying to get back to my normal sleep schedule, which I'm sure, for all of us parents, is a little tough early."

Also new parents are actress Leelee Sobieski and her fashion designer fiancé Adam Kimmel. Sobieski delivered a daughter late Wednesday evening in New York City, Sobieski's rep confirms to PEOPLE. Further details, including the baby's name, have not been released. The couple are still planning to marry, but "we have pushed that back," Sobieski said after the pregnancy was announced. "We are going to maybe do it in the spring.

Elin Nordegren is spending the holidays in Sweden with her children, and without husband Tiger Woods. Nordegren has a private plane prepping for the trip to Sweden, as the sex scandal continues to build. "Elin is going to Sweden soon. Two stewardesses and one pilot are in Sweden with the plane now getting it ready to come pick them up," a source tells People.

It is not clear whether Nordegren will be staying at the home in Faglaro, Sweden which she recently purchased for $2 million. A source tells People that Noregren is telling friends that she is done with their marriage and that she intends to split her time between the home in Sweden and the U.S. "She's made up her mind. There's nothing to think about: he's never going to change," the source tells the magazine.

Tiger Woods may have learned his behavior from his father, according to his high school sweetheart. Diana Parr, who dated Woods for three years in high school, tells E! News that Woods frequently would get upset at his father, Earl, for infidelity. "He would just call crying and say, 'My dad is with another woman,' and that would be all he could say," Parr told E! News. "He would be so upset, so I just tried to be there for him and listen to him."

Parr says she wants people to know that Tiger's life was not perfect growing up, and how devastated he was to learn that his hero, his father, was cheating on his mother.

"His dad was his hero, he was everything to him, and his dad had given up a lot of things for Tiger and done so much for him. ... You could feel the love they had between them, the connection they had was very strong. ... His dad was a good role model in many other ways, but in that particular area [marital fidelity]...he wasn't," Parr said.

Jessica Simpson is denying claims in a Star Magazine cover story that Woods made a pass at her during a golf tournament where then-boyfriend, Tony Romo, was appearing. Titled "Tiger & Jessica: The Shocking Inside Story" a source says in it that Woods "liked what he saw" and "let her know it." The mag's source also claims that Simpson flirted back with Woods because she was upset with Romo, and that phone numbers and e-mail addresses were exchanged. 

Simpson tweeted about the story on her Twitter account, saying: "Can't believe that I'm on the cover of star magazine with Tiger Woods, what a JOKE! 'The Shocking Inside Story' is (insert drumroll) A LIE!" Simpson's rep adds, "Literally the only thing that's true in the story is the fact that they met. It was a quick meeting, and they posed for a photo together -- that was it. Jessica's lawyer is sending them a letter this afternoon."

Courtney Love has been barred from having any contact with daughter Frances Bean, or her two new guardians. Love lost custody of her daughter to Kurt Cobain's mother and sister, and now Love cannot be in contact with any of them. Love didn't take the news well, turning to Facebook to rant about her daughter, "[Frances] thinks she has all this money, [but] the point is I have all the money she has. I hate to sound cold but any kid of mine who pulls this [stuff] has lost her position. The good news is now that Frances is clearly deluded that she [imagines] she can buy her grandmother a 'small house in L.A.' I'd love to see how that works. They'll incubate her until she's 18 and then have her sign all the indemnifications."

Garth Brooks is suing an Oklahoma hospital for the $500,000 he donated to them in memory of his mother, who died of cancer. Brooks made the donation four years ago for construction of a new building to be named in honor of his mother, Colleen, who died in 1999. The hospital completed a major expansion, but did not construct the planned building, nor did it name a different building after her. So Brooks wants his money back.

TMZ says that the divorce of Jon and Kate Gosselin is imminent. The site reports that the arbitrator has completed his report on how to divide property and money, and is forwarding his recommendations to the divorce judge for ruling. Jon Gosselin's lawyer, however, says it is a little premature, "That's still a work in progress. We’re waiting for a final decision."

The latest woman to be linked to Tiger Woods is different from the nearly identical parade of 20-something cocktail waitresses, dancers and porn stars. For one thing, Theresa Rogers is either 49 or 47; she also began her relationship with him before he married Elin Nordegren in 2004. Rogers, shown in a photo from RadarOnline being lifted in front of a Christmas tree by a man whose face is obscured, left, reportedly bragged to her buddies that she showed Woods "everything he needed to know to be a great lover." A source told the web site, "Theresa was crazy about Tiger but she didn't want to feel like a bought woman, a paid escort. She just wanted to be the woman who schooled Tiger in the bedroom."

Meanwhile, although some of his girlfriends complained about his cheapness, MSNBC.com reported that Woods bought the silence of some of his mistresses with generous monthly payments. The report, attributed to "several women who were involved with the golfer," said Woods wired between $5,000 and $10,000 to them, and they believe others may have received as much as $20,000 per month. One woman said, "There’s no contract about it, there’s no discussion about what it’s for, but it’s implied that it’s in exchange for keeping quiet about his affair."

The paparazzi camped outside Woods' house were frustrated again in their attempts to photograph the golf superstar, who has not been seen in public since his one-car crash the morning after Thanksgiving sparked major revelations about his infidelities. Nordegren was spotted without her wedding ring for a second day, this time taking her children to pick up Thai food for lunch along with a couple of unknown people. Nordegren ignored all questions asked by the paparazzi. Later, a moving truck and two utility vehicles arrived at Tiger Woods' Windermere, Fla., home, where the workers had a conversation with Nordegren, TMZ reported, then brought ladders inside.

ESPN reporter Erin Andrews said it was "difficult" to face Michael David Barrett, who stalked and photographed her in her hotel rooms, in court as he pleaded guilty to one count of interstate stalking. In court, she said, "I have nightmares about the sexual predator." Because "he put the videos on the Internet for the world to see," she said, now "I walk into stadiums and fans make crude comments to me,"  said Barrett "should stay in jail as long as possible" because he "is a threat to women everywhere." Outside court, her attorney, Marshall Grossman, said, "there are well over a dozen other women who have been surreptitiously filmed and stalked by Mr. Barrett."

Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, forfeited $40,000 bail and are now felony fugitives after failing to appear in a Santa Barbara court on Tuesday. They were charged after police say they skipped out on a $10,000 bill at a luxury hotel. When the Quaids failed to show up for the scheduled court date on Tuesday, the judge set new bail at $40,000 for each of them and ordered arrest warrants to be issued. Santa Barbara Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee  Carter told People that the pair did not contact the court to explain that they would not be present, so "now they are felony fugitives."

Barry Williams, who got into his share of humorous household scrapes as Greg Brady, filed a serious application for a temporary restraining order against his live-in girlfriend of three years. In the papers, filed in a Los Angeles court, Williams says Elizabeth Kennedy, 30, is bipolar, "extremely unstable," and has "made threats to kill herself in the past and to harm me when she becomes depressed." He also says she threatened him with a knife and secretly withdrew $29,000 from his bank account. He asks that she be ordered to move out of the Marina Del Rey apartment they share and stay at least 100 yards away from him, his car, his house and his workplace. "I know that she definitely will try to harm me once she is aware that our relationship is now over," he says in the filing. The two will appear in court Jan. 4.

About 100 friends, led by beau Zac Efron, surprised Vanessa Hudgens with a 21st birthday celebration at a restaurant in Hollywood Monday night. Escorted by Efron, "when she walked in was completely surprised!" a guest at the party told People. Guests including Ashley Tisdale, Selena Gomez, Brittany Snow and Corbin Bleu joined the partygoers.

TMZ is reporting that Tiger Woods was involved in an incident several years ago, which may have given him a false sense of invulnerability. The site reports that years ago, Woods hooked up with a cocktail waitress in Orlando and drove off in his car, parking on a desolate road. A suspicious police officer approached the car to find Woods and the woman engaged in sexual activity. The officer did not cite or arrest Woods after a brief exchange, and Woods' PR firm and attorneys went to work putting together a settlement with the woman, to keep her silent about the incident.

The Florida Department of Children and Families, escorted by deputies from the Orange County Sheriff's Department, spent several hours at the home of Tiger Woods over the weekend. A spokesman for the sheriff's department told RadarOnline.com that "deputies met with members of the Department of Children and Families. But all details are being kept secret." But a source from the child-protection agency says they carried out a "well-being check" after a complaint, possibly prompted by a clash between Woods and his wife, Elin Nordegren, before his one-car crash early in the morning of Nov. 27. Sources say that DCF would routinely visit a home to evaluate its safety for children after a domestic violence incident.The couple's daughter, Sam, 2, and son, Charlie, 10 months, seen above with their parents, were both at the house at the time of the crash, as were both Tiger and Elin's mothers.

Playgirl has received but says it will not publish a series of nude photos of a man who appears to be Tiger Woods, reportedly taken by Woods with a camera phone, according to a rep for the magazine. Daniel Nardicio, director of marketing for the magazine, told People the photos appeared to be of Woods, but "Playgirl has decided to turn down the alleged Tiger Woods nude photos, reportedly taken by camera phone by Woods himself. They were impossible to 100 percent verify, hence the unwillingness to go there." Nardicio says Playgirl prefers models who pose specifically for the magazine, such as recent centerfold Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol Palin's baby.

Jamie Jungers, one of the women with whom Woods has been involved since his marriage, says she was in bed with him at his house when his father Earl died of cancer in 2006. Jungers told the British newspaper News of the World that the two has sex after he returned from seeing his father, who was under hospice care, for the last time. She was in bed with him when Tiger's mother called him at 3 a.m. to say that Earl had died. Jungers also said that the two broke up when she asked him for money. "Tiger was always tight with money," she told the newspaper. "When we'd go out for dinner, he never left a tip or he'd ask for the meal to be complimentary because he was Tiger Woods. I just thought that was cheap and it always embarrassed me. ... I never expected him to buy me anything. But he's the richest sports star on the planet and he never once bought me a gift -- not even for Christmas or my birthday."

Things were crumbling financially for Tiger, too. The day after Gillette said it would limit Woods' presence in its ads, technology firm Accenture said it was dropping him too. "Given the circumstances of the last two weeks, after careful consideration and analysis, the company has determined that he is no longer the right representative for its advertising," Accenture said in a statement.

Spencer Pratt of "The Hills" has formed his own music company, modestly dubbed, "King Spencer Music." TMZ.com is calling the day he filed the papers "the day the music died," and notes that the fee to file the documents -- $23 -- is the same as the cost of a pair of sound-deadening headphones.

Paul Anka has been hearing from various people criticizing his soon-to-be-ex-wife Anna, and the latest one is from Eric Brooks, president of the L.A, Car Connection, who dealt with Mrs. Anka several times and describes her as foul-mouthed, abusive and unreasonable. In the letter, Brooks says Mrs. Anka "would demand over-the-top star treatment," ... "screaming and ranting and raving over the simplest issues or concerns..." He also writes, "I have never heard so much vulgar words and profanity come out of someone's mouth during a 30 second episode." Anka filed for divorce from Anna in early December after police responded to a domestic dispute at the house, the second in two years. A year ago, Anna was charged with felony domestic battery after a piece of ice she threw at Paul cut his head. Her mug shot taken after that incident is above. The two reconciled and he refused to allow her to be prosecuted.

Lindsay Lohan has returned to the United States from India, where she spent a week filming a documentary for the BBC about the trafficking of women and children in impoverished areas of the country. "Lindsay is home from India now. I am so proud of her for going," Dina Lohan told People Sunday. Lohan's trip included a visit to the Sanlaap women's and children's shelter outside Calcutta, a safe haven for women and girls who were once held captive and sold.

Tiger Woods' British attorneys have gotten a court order prohibiting newspapers, magazines and blogs from publishing any nude photos or videos of him, including "any photographs, footage or images taken or obtained of the claimant [Tiger] naked or any naked parts of the claimant's [Tiger's] body or of him involved in any sexual activity." While this step does seem to indicate that such materials exist, the letter notifying media of the ban says, "this Order is not to be taken as any admission that any such photographs exist, and in the event they do exist they may have been fabricated, altered, manipulated and/or changed to create the false appearance and impression that they are nude photographs of our client." The lawyer's letter says, "Our client is not aware of any images and in any event he would not have consented to any such photographs being taken nor would he have consented to the dissemination or exploitation of the same."

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for Tiger, the National Enquirer is reporting that he may have impregnated some of his girlfriends, resulting in abortions in some cases and babies in others. "That would be the final straw for his wife -- and Tiger knows it," "an insider" told the Enquirer. "There is definitely more than one woman out there who could come forward to say she had his babies."

Meanwhile, Life & Style magazine reports that celebrity biographer Ian Halperin was approached by a woman two years ago who said she had a tape of Woods having a sexually explicit phone conversation. "It sounded like him, but I had no proof," Halperin said. How about a genuine sex tape? Steven Hirsch, owner of porn producer Vivid Entertainment, tells the magazine, "A Tiger sex tape could be worth $5 million, possibly as high as $10 million."

Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer has removed all in-store advertisements featuring Tiger Woods from its 100 Australian stores, but has stopped short of firing Woods. Like Gatorade, the company said the removal of Woods' campaigns was not linked with his current trouble, but had been planned for a while. Tag Heuer's general manager, Philip Richards, told the Sydney Morning Herald that the "golf focus" of the Links watches, which Woods promotes, had simply run its course.

Two of the women with whom Tiger has been linked have also worked as paid escorts, says a woman who has pleaded guilty to working as a madam. Michelle Braun gave TMZ tax forms that showed she had made payments to both Jamie Jungers and Holly Joy Sampson through her company, Global Travel Network, which she used as a front to pay escorts. She says Tiger was not a client of her company.

Jungers, a Las Vegas cocktail waitress, seen at left, is scheduled to appear this morning on the "Today" Show to discuss the two-year relationship she had with Woods, according to RadarOnline.

Tiger Woods' mother, Kultida Woods, who was said to be in his home during the early-morning crash that focused the media spotlight on her billionaire son's extramarital affairs, refused all comment after she was spotted at LAX, en route to Atlanta. Among the questions paparazzi peppered her with was, "Mrs. Woods, do you believe in redemption for Tiger?"

Adam Lambert, last year's "American Idol" runner-up, was interviewed one of Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009 Wednesday night, and what Barbara seemed most fascinated about was Lambert's open-mouthed kiss with a male musician at the American Music Awards. Referring to the moment as "raunchy" and "lewd,"  Walters asked him why he did it."I got really excited. You can't plan everything -- if I did a performance exactly how I rehearsed it, it would be so boring," he said. The kiss got him pulled from ABC's "Good Morning America," "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "New Year's Rockin' Eve." The much-discussed kiss was not shown on Walters' show, but the network on Thursday said that was only done "to focus on the fresh, new interview with Adam Lambert." A brief kiss between Lady Gaga and another woman was shown on Walters' special. Lambert did appear on "The View" on Thursday, as seen at left, but the segment was pre-taped, which prompted both Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd to complain and Lambert to say sarcastically, "Protect your children, people!"

Jon Gosselin has been found in breach of his contract with TLC after he didn't even bother showing up for the network's case against him in a Maryland court. Back in October, when TLC sued Gosselin for violating his contract by making paid and unpaid TV appearances without the cable network's permission, Gosselin's attorney said the reality TV dad "will vigorously defend against this baseless action." But on Thursday, when the two sides were due to meet in a Maryland court, Gosselin did not appear and his side did not call any witnesses. A TLC official called Gosselin's appearances with his new girlfriends  "embarrassing."

Readers of the Fail Blog, which features failures of many kinds, have named Kanye West this year's King of Fail for his boorish upstaging of Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards in September. West jumped on stage and announced that Beyonce should have won the award Swift, 19, had just collected. Kanye took the top prize in both the "Fail moments" and "Fail people" categories. Other "moment" winners included the Balloon Boy hoax, Christian Bale's tirade on a film set and the antics of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. The other Fail people named were Jon Gosselin, Perez Hilton, Glenn Beck, Octomom Nadya Suleman. Chris Brown, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Prejean and Roman Polanski.

The man who is accused of filming sports reported Erin Andrews naked admits that he did it. The attorney for Michael David Barrett issued this statement to TMZ: "Mr. Barrett accepts full responsibility for his conduct. He apologizes to Ms. Andrews, and expresses his deep regret for his conduct that caused her so much pain. It is his sincere hope that these events can now become an opportunity to make positive changes in his life."

Amanda Peet and her husband, writer David Benioff, are expecting their second child. A rep for the actress, who appears in "2012," did not give a date for the baby's arrival. The family already includes big sister Frances "Frankie" Pen, born in February 2007. 

A Miley Cyrus song that was nominated for a Grammy for Best Song Written for a Soundtrack has been pulled from consideration days after it made the list. Grammy organizers did not explain why the single "The Climb," featured heavily in "Hannah Montana: The Movie," was pulled, but a source in Cyrus' camp says it was nominated by mistake and its removal was not unexpected. The nomination will go to the entry with the next highest number of votes, which is "All Is Love," by Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It was written for "Where the Wild Things Are."

 Us Weekly says that Tiger Woods' list of mistresses has hit 13. The mag reports that sports blog Deadspin.com has linked Woods to a 2nd porn star by the name of Joslyn James, citing Las Vegas nightlife insiders as their source. 

At least one mistress is sending her apologies to Elin Woods. Jamie Grubbs, the 2nd mistress to surface, told Extra TV, "I couldn't describe how remorseful that I am to have hurt her family." Grubbs says that she still would like Woods in her life, even if it is just as a friend, but she will not be so emotionally invested in him ever again, knowing now that he was cheating with other women, too.

TMZ says that Rachel Uchitel, the mistress that started it all, is so shocked and disgusted to learn that Woods was cheating with multiple women, including two porn stars, that she has rushed out for a series of tests for sexually transmitted diseases.

High-powered sports agent Leigh Steinberg is urging Woods to come out and speak publicly before he does irreparable damage to his marketability and image. Steinberg, who does not represent Woods, told the CBS Early Show yesterday, "(I'd tell him) to get out in front of this story. The American people love the fall of the high-and-mighty, but they also love a comeback story. He needs to get out front with all the facts and make a public apology to the relevant people, so that the healing can begin and he can put this behind him. Otherwise it will eat him alive.

The backlash against Woods has started, as Gatorade dropped Woods' endorsed drink. Now Bloomberg is reporting that Woods has dropped in the Davie Brown Index, which is a measurement of a celebrity's influence on consumer behavior. Woods, before the infidelity rumors began, was No. 6 on the DBI, earning $110 million in endorsements and tournaments. The consumer research organization, which tracks 2,800 personalities, says that Woods has dropped to No. 24.
