Between joining Twitter and writing a mea culpa in Newsweek, Tiger Woods has found himself once again front-and-center in the media. (It feels like November 2009 all over again … with better PR!) The golfer, who has spoke measuredly about his sex scandal in press conferences — for the uninitiated, he admitted to having affairs outside his marriage to Elin Nordegren, who he has since divorced — opted to write about his troubles in a Newsweek article titled “How I’ve Redefined Victory.” Writes Woods in the piece: “Last November, everything I thought I knew about myself changed abruptly, and what others perceived about me shifted, too. I had been conducting my personal life in an artificial way — as if detached from the values my upbringing had taught, and I should have embraced. The physical pain from that car accident has long healed. But the pain in my soul is complex and unsettling; it has been far more difficult to ease — and to understand. But this much is obvious now: My life was out of balance, and my priorities were out of order … Golf is a self-centered game, in ways good and bad. So much depends on one’s own abilities. But for me, that self-reliance made me think I could tackle the world by myself. It made me think that if I was successful in gold, then I was invincible. Now I know that, no matter how tough or strong we are, we all need to rely on others.” Click here to read the rest of the text.

You can’t just change who you are. You can maybe hide it better…but you’re still the same person.
He is a home wrecker. He wrecked his own home.
To the above posters. Time to move on with your lives and let go, people can change givin the chance to do so.
I do not think TW can do anything right to please some very jealous people in this world. 99.9 percent of men would have done what he did if they knew they will get away with it.
I don’t care if he wins a major again. He has won 14 next to only one other and young golfers like Rory Mclroy or whatever his name is should concentrate on their game and leave TW alone. At he Rory’s age TW had won a major. So my advice to RM and other jealous fans win a major before you start throwing gauntlets. TW is only human. Worse happens in board rooms etc. Only these hypocrites have not been found out.
As for the journalist on Golf.com please make sure you are purer than pure because I am tracking a couple of you watch your backs you will be caught for doing the same just like Colin Montgomerie.
I rest my case
Great site lots of information Looks like alot of time has Been taken here
