I have no sympathy for the bimbos he fucked. One said she never knew he was married. Hello? even ET and the tabloids have pictures of his wife. did he love these women? some, long time apparently... lol

As far as the women he fucked...well, I'd say thats all they were really.  He apologized publicly to all the people he should have apologized to.  To me, thats just taking responsibility and owning up to people who had your back when you were running behind theirs.

Do I think he had to give an apology, yes to his wife and family, as well as his endorsers that is it in my opinion. He is owning up to what he did, that is good also the first step to recovery in some shrinks eyes.  Also he has been known to be a control freak, so this apology was to show that he can still have power to get the media to him.

No, but he is far and away the best player in the world, and likely the best to ever play. The ones that made him a billionaire did not do that as a favor to him, he earned that, and gave them much in return. That's why I kinda see it as a zero sum thing in that regard.

I will give you that.  He is the best, and thats why he got where he got.  If he valued his privacy that much though, he could have played for the game of it all, not the money and sponsorship of it all.  And then he wouldn't owe anybody anything, save the people he thought he needed to apologize to. 

Tiger got to the place though where golf became his job, so to speak.  And not just was it his job, but he did his job under the guise of a good role model, a good father and a good husband.  (His words in a public interview).  Some people would lose their job over such a breach.  Some would be given the chance to make ammends.  I believe he is in the latter position.

But!!!  I do understand why you consider it a zero sum thing.  I just...don't.

As for him being given the chance to make amends, there is no doubt on that one. The PGA is desperate for him to come back, so much so they'd probably sneak hookers into his hotel for him, even now. Hell, they have let John Daly come back numerous times, talk about a walking disaster.

Is she a bimbo because she was a nanny or was she a bimbo that was a nanny?

Are talking her down because she came from nothing?

Red flags fly when one gets together with someone who is a known slut. I did not know but then I am not trying to keep up on these things. Although look at someone like Warren Beatty who had some of the finest women in the world any time he wanted and then he settled down with Annette and had a slew of children and appears to act noble and righteous toward his bride, it can happen. Tiger seems to be an extremely talented and lucky skeevoid.

The media made his apology as important as a presidential speech. It was absurd.

Wtf did he do that was so wrong against America? He wronged his wife!
Wtf do I care that he got his winkie wet in multiple holes?? They were all of legal age & consent. He didn't do anything illegal so why does he feel compelled to hold a press conference to apologize?
He's a noted control freak so is this his way of gaining control of the situation?



That strange relationship between the media/people/celebrities.......the media hype them...then some people worship them....and in return the celebrities apologise for their failings....the new kings I suppose....

But really fuckin' strange all the same.

If you want to know anything about politics then watch how people behave with celebrities....it will tell you far more than any ideology or talking head.

I like Tiger Woods. It really is hard not to. He always seemed to be a very genuine person and much of his appeal is something that could not be faked.

I wonder if his father had not passed if all of this would have transpired?

As much as someone would love to have the wealth of a Tiger Woods I wonder about the serious trade offs of being imprisoned. You are isolated and far too often you are surrounded by people that kiss your ass for dollars or just want to be a part of the entourage. The loss of reality and a sense of entitlement seems to always enter the picture. So the dude goes to Vegas where he can blow off some steam, with a certain degree of anonymity, and all holy Hell breaks loose. He obviously made some very poor decisions. The poor kid has lived under a microscope for his entire adult life. This is a common theme played out by millions of people.

rockspider is a dope. I had never heard of Tiger's indiscretions until they were publicly aired. I have only read rather remarkable things about his wife. She seems to not only be a beautiful woman but has handled this whole affair with as much grace and dignity as possible.

I believe that Tiger did have to make a public statement. While others have made it clear that they should never considered to be a role model, Tiger gladly accepted that title. Because of Tiger Woods I am sure that there are people who were motivated to do things that they thought at one time might have been impossible or simply beyond their reach.

Tiger is more than just a man and he does represent more to so many than just a guy that plays golf or cheated on his wife. The statement could have come without the aid of notes but I do believe that Tiger is embarrassed by his conduct and is truly shaken that he strayed from his fundamental beliefs.

I am sure that he is sad he got caught. However, it would seem that due to the rather extreme nature of his conduct that him "getting caught" would have inevitably been somewhat of a forgone conclusion. He is not a stupid guy. I think there must have been a part of him that wanted to get caught, that needed to get caught.


I usually root for the under dog. Tiger is no under dog. For some reason there are some people that you enjoy watching succeed. I hope Tiger finds success.
