In response to: Tiger Woods has now admitted that his 'transgressions' are being dealt with privately with his family & that he's very sorry he acted 'against his values' - the details of his affairs are still hazy, but I think Woods will be sleeping on the pull out bed in the study for a while.

Squillions of dollars, fantastic career, beautiful wife and child.....seemingly not enough for Woods. What a mess. His sponsors have publicly agreed to stand by him today, but I wonder if they'll feel the same in 3 to 4 weeks time when more details emerge.

Why do these high profile guys take these kinds of risks? Don't they realise they might get caught? - or is that half the fun? I'd be interested to know your thoughts.


Interesting comments from everyone so far, most leaning towards some pity for Woods.

I was taught, as a youngster, that Celeb's are in a position of great responsibility along with that Power.

They are the role models of the next generation.

Too bad and very sad many don't live up to that responsibility.

31 months?????


I would be asking some serious questions if I were his Wife, such as what is missing in the Marriage and where if any where we were to go from there. moping blues crying

I feel for his Wife and Children.

I did admire Tiger.

To bad he followed the path of others I also had admired such as Michael Jordan. There was much talk when His transgressions were exposed, as I recall.

The bottom line though, is He is Human as are we all. None of us is without Blemish. Disappointing or not, I will reserve judgement. I do not condone cheating. I also have no right to judge.

he is a disgusting persona nd is obviously never happy


that being said though


who knows what his family life is like?

he could have done it just because he could--maybe he and his wife really do love each other and personally werent communicating


whatever the reason his sponsors should not stay he should learn how to be humble and appreciate everything he has

I can only explain it by way of people such as Tiger, cannot help ending up thinking they are invincible.

After all, all they ever hear are words of adoration. A world of utter fantasy most of the time.

But bubbles sometimes do burst even in fantasy land.

And they have for him. I guess it can only be a good thing...to have his humanness returned within a public forum.

I played golf today with a man who is a caddy on the pro PGA tour and he knows Tiger, Tiger's wife and others and had some insights into this whole sad affair. He thoughts were very interesting.

newinsouth: Men are men.


I disagree! I knew my wife for forty years. I was married to her for 38 years. I never cheated once. Sorry all men are not the same.

Your wife was very lucky. I know there are a few exceptions. Glad to know one.

P.S. and it's not all men; there arent' too many poor guys that women are running all over to meet;

Fame, power and money; many young women are very very very into that.

There aren't a whole lot of rich guys with ugly women.

No...that picture was taken from the top of Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park in California. What a beautiful place that is... fantastic. Everybody should see Yosemite before they die. Go in the Spring time when the snow is still on the mountain tops.
