Tiger Woods was defended by former golfer and social media sensation Paige Spiranac before the release of an HBO box office documentary.
A two-part film about Woods’ life, called “Tiger,” airs Sunday night.
Her reputation was tarnished in 2009 when it was revealed that Rachel Uchitel was the first of at least twelve lovers.
It led to the collapse of his marriage to Elin Nordegren, with whom he had two children.
Woods golf game suffered as a result of the scandal and was also abandoned by a number of sponsors.
Still, Spiranac, who was a professional golfer, believes Woods was mistakenly treated as “a monster” and should not be “canceled.”
Speaking on her podcast, the 27-year-old said: “Even when all this was going on, I think people were being very harsh on her.
“Look at your own life and the things you have done, no one lives a perfect life, we all make mistakes.
“It’s not like he killed anyone,” he said. Many people cheat on their life.
“Probably 99.9 percent of people have done something bad in their lives.
“It’s not because people sit on the couch and make him a monster when I don’t think anyone has been able to handle it better than him.
“We eliminate the cancellation of culture and help these people because you don’t know why they happen.
“I don’t think any of us could handle that focus, it’s crazy.”
According to a family friend, Joe Grohman, Woods saw his father, Earl, have sex with blondes in a Winnebago RV parked next to golf courses during his childhood practice sessions.
And Spiranac believes this had an impact on how his life turned out.
She added: “Of course you will have trouble growing up in this environment, the fame you had, has always been in the spotlight.
“He’s never had a normal life.”
The HBO documentary said that Woods’ life began to lose control after his father’s death in 2006.
He is said to have then begun making wild trips to Las Vegas, partying with Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley.
Spiranac also said unfortunate golfer Justin Thomas “should not be canceled” after using an anti-gay insult.
Thomas used the bewilderment when he missed a putt at the Champions Tournament in Hawaii.
The world number 3 apologized after his round and admitted he felt “embarrassed” by his actions.
