No one is above making bad choices, no one! Recovery is a "One Day At A Time" process. He has taken the first step, he has made a decision. I believe he will go to any length to achieve his recovery no matter what the sensationalism of his critics thinks. Keep it Simple Tiger and Keep Coming Back! lol :)
I agree . we seem to be in a society where the press thinks they have an inalienable right to pry into a public figures life. They do not have that right and I fully support Tiger in what he does. this is a purely private matter and for the press, the golf channel and others to demand a full explanation is ludicrous at best. How would the press, who to my way of thinking are public figures as well, would like us joe citizens prying into their private lives. I don'/t think they would like it, nor would I, were I in that situation. Back off press, golf channel, et alia. let him settle this in his own way and time.
I agree with eileenhappy. Recovery is a process which must be continued on a daily basis. Before people judge Tiger and/or critique today's statement, each person needs to understand the power of addiction. Recovery requires humility and a belief in a Higher Power.
Tiger is only human. We ALL make mistakes sometime and yet they don't make a big deal of it. We learn to forgive and and put it behind us. Better yet, forget it and move on!! Life is to valuable to waste on all the baloney they put out there! I say " Go FORE it Tiger"!!
The only ones he should apologize to is his wife and children. This is really none of our business.
Tiger Talked. What more can the man say. I wasn't sure that Tiger needed to apologize to us, but he did and if he feels better about it so be it.
The Press has had a field day with all of this. I guess they think they have to right to know what they want to know even when some of the questions they are asking is none of their business. When we let the press start telling us how to live we may be in more trouble than Tiger. Some of the TV Reporters after Tiger's Talk where certainly off their feet.
Why does Tiger have to apologize to the world for being unfaithful? Tiger apologized to his family. No further apologies needed! Since when in the “wonderful world of sports” has someone been knocked down and beaten up so badly for being unfaithful? Was it in the 1950’s? Tiger was morally wrong but he certainly did not break the law!
The first stone throwers are always the uppity people living in glass houses whose lives are in complete and utter chaos. They don’t take care of their own disorganized affairs because they are too busy interfering with everyone else’s.
Tiger should have refused to apologize publicly. As far as those good for nothing girls go, they knew darned good and well what they were doing and that he was a married man. My advice to the skanks is to pull your head out of your a$$ and breathe!
Once a cheat always a cheat all the tiger knows how to play the hole and if his pretty white wife can't see that then,God help her.But it so easy to blame the other girls,he is a grow man with half a brain.The SAD part is it's all about HIm WHAT about the kids that that have to grow up with it.Maybe if you got a purple brain you no the answer??????????????????
Tiger should of just started playing golf again. He owes nothing to the public (media). Why does the press feel they are entitled to an explanation? Whatever happened is between him and his family. The one mistake he made was the timing of this whole mess, it all happened on a slow news day!
Its good to see Tiger has said he is to blame and he is sorry for what he has done to his wife, friends and peers. But he is not the only one that was at fault. All the women he slept with are also to blame. They to must step up and say they are sorry for what they did with him. To his wife and everyone else. And no matter what he said or did to create the the act of cheating, everyone of the women knew he was married. And that's why they to are at fault.
Tiger has done enough,he has apologized and that should be it! Even tho others golfers(Ernie E) and a few more put on a front they are happy Tiger isnt there therefore they maybe able to win a few tournaments. As for apologizing to the women he was with,damn that! They knew he was married before they got together and remember he doidnt take anything, they gave it up, also the world is a safer place now that he has apologized............. Media should be ashamed of there coverage,its ove get over it.
Tiger is good! May God bless Tiger... And his family. Where did you get Smith for Saturday morning. He is wrong and a media grabbing bum. The women involved need to apologize to Tiger as well as he needs to apologize to them, it take two to tango.
i'm a dude and i think the moron should take a long walk off a short bridge
We don't own celebs and the crap about his being a role model etc. Well if the media didn't sneak around and gather as much dirt as they could, his kids and his fans who are kids wouldn't know.
What Tiger did was wrong morally but that is between him and his wife and his sponsors. He plays golf...very, very well. That is why Tiger is a celeb. There isn't a clause is there that says in order to play golf you have to be a faithful husband? If that's the case then they'd better start paving over those golf courses.
I hope he's truly changing his ways or that he realizes he can't change and will decently divorce his wife, provide generously for her and the kids and chase cocktail waitresses. That is his right if he's single.
As far as apologising publicly I think it's a huge mistake, creates a new feeding frenzy, every wanna be commentator in the press and tv has another week's subject material and it just keeps bringing all of the dirt to the top.
"We" don't need or deserve an apology, he didn't do anything to "US". We shouldn't even know about this crap. The "Ladies" who sold him out for money are to blame and I hope they each find out how negative fame can be.
He is wrong but it's his and his family's business.
Why do we castrate anyone who messes up, we are quick to judge , slow to forgive . Adam n Eve messed up big time, and for this we are who we are. When you wear the cost of untrustworthiness , then you may understand his dilima. If he is trying to make amends , who are we to judge. If he is giving just lip service ,then he will be judged by his actions . Iam not the judge nor are any of you.
Tiger Woods' apology was not just enough but actually much too much. A public apology was totally uncalled for. His love life is entirely private between himself and his wife and totally none of anyone elses' business. None of the "mistresses" deserve any description of an apology, least of all the Gloria Alred's bimbo who does porn movies and gets paid to have sex on camera. She and Gloria Alred are so full of feces that it is spewing from their mouths. All of them knew from the get-go that Woods was married. PUT A LID ON IT! ZIP IT!
Elin may find it in her heart to forgive him as she may have really loved him.
However, since the media has made this very private issue such public fodder, the shame and
embarrassment that she has been put through will never allow her to trust him again.
Unfortunately for him, that is his loss.
His childern, too, will suffer because of his selfishness for additional "self fulfillment".
We have soldiers dying in battle... children starving around the world... major disasters in other places... and the media is caught up with Tiger Woods!? WHO REALLY CARES!? Get a grip or a life and move on!!

Tiger Woods does not have to address the media for questions as Rodriguez and McGwire did, Tiger was morally wrong not legally.
