'Saturday Night Live' Airs Controversial Tiger Woods Parody (VIDEO)

In what critics are describing as a supreme act of insensitivity, given that Rihanna was scheduled as musical guest, 'Saturday Night Live' parodied Tiger Woods' recent headline-making troubles with a sketch portraying him as the victim of domestic abuse at the hands of wife Elin Nordegren.

In the sketch, which included Kenan Thompson as Woods and host Blake Lively as Nordegren, the wife of the pro-golfer strikes him with a golf club off-camera, and Woods appeals for help by holding a sign that read "Help me."
Rumors have been circulating that a domestic spat between Woods and his wife may have led up to his late-night crash into the tree of a neighbor's home on Nov. 27. Woods has denied such rumors.
