Palm Beach - Weeks after Tiger Woods admitted to the world he had been unfaithful in his marriage, the forums section of the golfer's official website has finally been shut down.
According to the Herald Sun website, administrators of the website had continued to allow angry fans to express their disgust at the golf superstar's fall from grace, with many of the posts highly abusive.
“You are such a piece of garbage ... good job wrecking your family, butthead,” said one of hundreds of postings.
Another said: “You are a laughing stock - just another arrogant athlete who thought he could get away with anything ... your image was nothing but a fraud.”
However, almost a month after the car accident outside his Florida home that led to the unraveling of his image, website administrators have closed the forums.
Woods admitted infidelity during his marriage to former Swedish model and nanny Elin Nordegren and up to 14 women have been linked with the world's best golfer.
The scandal has proved to be fodder for Facebook users with groups and fan pages attracting large numbers.
Among the most popular has almost 400 000 fans, while another "I did not sleep with Tiger Woods" has 40 000 fans.
Less popular are the groups "Free Tiger Woods" with 1 000 fans and "Get off Tiger Woods already!" with 400 followers.
