By coming out on Friday, Tiger ensures that all of the golf talk will be about him this weekend when it rightfully belongs on one of the most interesting events of the year (I love Match Play!).<br /><br />He's a disgrace, and for the PGA Tour commissioner to enable him in this way is an equal disgrace. Accenture should get their sponsorship money back.<br /><br />Further, his behavior matters because his presence (or lack thereof) affects the economics of the tour, and most assuredly affects the economics of his sponsors. Worse yet, it casts a pall over the golf greats, past and present who have worked tirelessly to enhance the stature of the game we love so much.<br /><br />As to the moral relativists who claim that Tiger owes them nothing, consider this: do you enjoy being lied to? Is there no accountability? He has lied to everyone who has bought into the "importance of family" pronouncements, and lied to everyone who has ever considered one of the many products and services Tiger has so happily endorsed.<br /><br />As for Nike, Electronic Arts, Proctor & Gamble and any other sponsor who continues to back Tiger, you're being played for chumps.<br /><br />Go away Tiger.Marcom-PR Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727293783323371113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-77667652235414544282010-02-19T11:38:28.015-05:002010-02-19T11:38:28.015-05:00Well thank God there were two cameras allowed in.Well thank God there were two cameras allowed in.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06571657514113218053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-49459912127067790082010-02-19T11:33:23.497-05:002010-02-19T11:33:23.497-05:00I find it very interesting that, and I believe thi...I find it very interesting that, and I believe this to some degree as well, no details and his personal life are fair game, but he wants people to believe in him again.

You wouldn't like the way he answered, or you'd claim he didn't answer your specific question. It would be a never ending loop trying to satisfy a bunch of self-important writers who can't be satisfied. Why should he do that. Just to try and make you happy?<br /><br />As Bob Dylan once said, "Just because you like my stuff doesn't mean I owe you anything."<br /><br />Harsh. Caustic. Self-serving. Yes. But also very true.<br /><br />Just because Tiger is the world's best golfer, corporate sponsor, and a public figure doesn't mean he owes you anything.<br /><br />If you don't like it, don't talk about him.

He's a miserable human being. <br /><br />This is who he is, what he's always been, even if the golf media preferred to cough and turn its collective gaze elsewhere. None of this is news to anybody who understands the game and its etiquette. <br /><br />It's everybody ELSE who thinks that they deserve an apology. But they don't. Instead they deserve what they get for buying into Woods -- in spite of his default behavior setting -- as something other than just another dirtbag jillionaire who believes his own hype and figures himself to be infallible. <br /><br />What rational person could watch Woods's on-course conduct and deduce from the thrown clubs, shouted profanity, permanent scowl and constant whining about gallery behavior that he's a nice guy, worthy of our worship and adulation? <br /><br />Woods will win more majors than Nicklaus, and he'll have brought a new generation of young golfers to the game as did Palmer. But he's not even a pimple on the ass of Hogan, Snead, Sarazen, Nelson, Trevino, Watson, et al.<br /><br />Tiger's lemmings, hangers-on and sycophant associates deserve whatever they get.JT in Durham, MEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-32154348552421861102010-02-18T23:02:18.292-05:002010-02-18T23:02:18.292-05:00All 3 major networks are covering this joke.

I hope his bio is forever, Tiger Woods, 14 time major championship winner and 19 time maritial cheater. I just cannot see a non-golf product sponsorship ever coming his way. His peers on a historical sports level were Arnie, Jack, Samparas, Jackie Robinson, and Ali. I think now his peers are Pete Rose, A-Rod, OJ, Jordan, Bonds...great players, but seedy, unpleasant winners and people. <br /><br />If he goes to the TPC in Scottsdale, it could be really ugly.

He should necver, and CAN NEVER answer those questions you so salciously desire to ask. One, it would further heap humiliation on his wife, and he will never do that. Secondly, Glorai Allred is sitting out there waiting to parse every word into a $50 million lawsuit.
