"Man, you change phone numbers more than I change underwear."

Cameron Morfit talks to Mark Calcavecchia, who reveals that Tiger was busy the last year changing his cell number five times, and not to avoid Calc's text messages.

"It was always something silly," Calcavecchia says. "But I sent him a couple of texts right after all this stuff started and obviously he didn't get back to me. I'm sure one of these days out of nowhere he'll text me and say, 'This is my new number.'"

Almost to a man, players, caddies and agents profess to have been totally unaware of Tiger's double life, but in retrospect Woods's multiple changes of cell number wasn't Calc's only tip-off that something was up.

"I did know of a girl he was seeing in Phoenix," he says. "But I didn't know the time frame. I didn't know if it was before or after he was married that he was with her. I knew it was close. It was 2004 sometime. I didn't think much of it then..."

who really cares whether tiger's fellow pros knew about his nonsense? plus, i'm not sure that multiple changes of cellphone numbers for a celebrity of tiger's wattage leads to the the conclusion that he's sleeping around. i don't know any celebs, but my impression was that they had to go to some lengths to keep their numbers out of the hands of the great unwashed.

What is known about what other pros are doing? Why is there no interest in that?

I knew about some of it, and I'm just Joe Blow.
