Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods was truly popular in the golfing world as never before in its history but his sprawling golf career came to a screeching halt in 2009 when more than a dozen women stepped forward, claiming to have had extramarital affairs with him.
His media-fueled cheating scandal got ugly really fast. He crashed his Escalade into a tree in his own front yard and pushed an embellished domestic abuse story before finally confessing to cheating in a televised statement. Sponsors immediately cut ties and the history-maker was out tens of millions of dollars almost overnight.
Luckily, mulligans are a thing in the golf community and Tiger was given a second chance to play.
