The friends of beleaguered golfer, Tiger Woods, want to send him a message, "We love you." In the wake of the unrelenting blizzard of bad stories in the press and events seemingly seeking to destroy him, Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan, have tried to contact him, but were unsuccessful in this endeavor.

Fellow athletes Ron Artest and Clinton Portis also sent words of support, as did politician Rudy Guiliani. Here's hoping Woods and his family can work things out. 

His wife was seen around Orlando, Florida twice this week and she is clearly refusing to let the negative stories get her down. She is resuming her life, taking her children out to lunch and ignoring the paparazzi. That's good. Keep your chin up.
