9. Tiger Woods Cheats on Elin Nordegren
Tiger Woods’ affair was especially bad because, first of all, it was nowhere near an affair (singular) and second of all because it cost him a lot more than just some heartache from losing his partner. 2009 was a good year for the golfer: he met president Obama, he had $110 million in endorsements and a beautiful family, and Forbes named him the first athlete ever to net $1 billion. After news about Woods’ affair with New York City nightclub manager Rachel Uchitel broke, fourteen other women came forward claiming that they had also slept with him, some of them offering little pieces of trivia about him to legitimize their stories (he likes to eat Froot Loops in front of cartoons, for instance.) After the incident, he lost half of his sponsors, his wife, and hasn’t won a tournament since.
