Multi-millionaire Irish racing magnate JP McManus has come out in defence of his friend Tiger Woods.
The top businessman is one of the first of the golfer's high-profile Irish friends to speak out since Woods was revealed as a serial womaniser.
Mr McManus said it was important to remember the work Tiger has done for charity in Ireland.
“He has done a lot of very good things in his time,” said Mr McManus. “He's done a lot of work for charity and he has been very good to Ireland.”
Describing his fondness for the golfer, he said Woods was “a very personable guy” and that he would hope to see him return to Ireland this year.

Of course it's alright to pay women tens of thousands of dollars for sex whiel having a wife and children at home. Mr Woods is not and never will be the roll that he has played again. He's gone Mr McManus. Interesting defence. Perhaps double standards is the privelidge of the rish? Just as long as you do a few good things.
