Darius Rucker Stands By Buddy Tiger Woods

Darius Rucker, Tiger WoodsDarius Rucker is quite the golf enthusiast, thanks in part to the influence of close friend Tiger Woods. But in spite of their friendship that spans almost two decades, the singer says even he has lost touch with the golfer since explosive news broke of Tiger's infidelity.

With Tiger's name splashed all over the headlines, Darius says he will stand by his friend. "I feel for everybody involved," the singer tells Chicago-based radio station US99. "I know how much he really does love his family, and I just feel for everybody."

Darius, who sang at both Tiger's wedding and at his father's funeral, says he was completely unaware of the secret life the golf great was leading. "I found out like everybody else," he admits. "You don't have to look up anything at all ... even if you don't want to see it, it's gonna be right there."

On a happier note, Darius tells US-99 that he and his family are on cloud-9, still elated over his CMA Award for Best New Artist. "That was an awesome moment for me," he says. "It might be goofy to some people, but it was one of the greatest moments of my life."

Darius, whose first three singles all reached No. 1, is already in the top ten with his fourth single, 'History in the Making.' His sophomore country album will be released later this year and includes a duet with his old touring buddy, Brad Paisley.

oxneve, I guess I wasn't clear in what I said. I'm sorry, because I agree with you completely. What I meant was that the press HAS put him in front of a firing squad already and the public is holding the guns. The press has become hate mongers towards most everyone and they are pulling a good part of the USA along with them.

I think a heck of a lot more of Tiger than I think of the hypocritical Media vultures.

Come on, everybody! Admit it! You all are just jealous (male or female) as you would have loved to have squeezed in a lot more, too. We all have room in our hearts for more than one person, but some don't have the tolerance and are way too judgmental. Perhaps everybody involved just needed some human affection. Perhaps, too, wifey knew she was marrying a womanizer that hadn't grown up yet. Evidently there are a lot of you perfect people out there. . .

anyone who says they have never thought about cheating this is just for the one that is called bobbie last time I checked it is not illegal to cheat on your spouse I think everybody has done it or thought about it and if you say you have not thought about it you are a big fat lier if Tiger did cheat it is between him and his wife and what ever god he believes in would you want you personal life on the front page of the paper plus it says he without sin cast the frist stone last time I checked none of us are God.

You idiot Tiger haters. Darius support for his friend in no way means he condones what he did. You IDIOTS! God help people who have YOU as "friends" Do you trash all your "friends" who do something stupid or something you don't agree with? Glass houses......did I say you were all IDIOTS? You are indeed
