wow did not expect this much negativity. maybe now people will shut up at least about why he choose today to do it....its because he checks back into treatment tomorrow. go ahead, rip me a new one. i support tiger. and all of you calling him a tool better do that still 10 years from now.

Not too hard of a demand.

10 years from now he will have won like a dozen more majors and we all will have forgotten about this. but right now he is a tool

Love the guy as a golfer. He is a great athlete in that respect. However, I have zero respect for him as a person, and that will never change.

I will be! He was a tool a year ago too! Arrogant! Spoiled! Screaming at fans on the golf course because they took his picture while swinging? That happens to all players...and how do they respond?

I respect his performance...as good as anyone who ever played the game! Probably better! But he is a tool!

The one thing I found interesting is when he talked about changing his conduct on the course. I am sure he will be just as intense, but I think he may be a little more reserved. It will be interesting to see.

It happens a lot less than it happens to him. A lot. Also, a lot of them respond the same way.

I think this is what most expected. I personally don't think he needed to do this at all, meaning in public. I thought the part about Budhism was interesting. My wife said, "Tiger follows Budhism? I thought is was Bootie-Hism"

I did not know sex addiction classes were so tough to pass after a couple of months. Tobacco and drinking might be easier to do something about....

I think he will be a lot more frustrated on the course.

Taking a picture in your backswing is about respecting the golfer. He's only done it a couple times and the only reason it makes the news, is because its Tiger Woods. I gaurantee other golfers complain about it too if it happens. Actually it might not happen because all the photographers are following Tiger around. Only takes one idiot photographer..

It isn't the professional photographers that do it...it is the general fan that does it! And it is wrong...but he has acted like a spoiled brat on (and off) the course many times! Maybe that is what makes him a great player...I don't know. I agree with Tom Watson's comments about Tiger on the course. He would know!

I support Tiger in that I think he should just get back on the course. I will forever think his actions in this respect are utterly dispicable and I probably won't ever change my opinion that he's something of a dirtbag. I don't like athletes because they are good guys, I like them because they are good. If they happen to be a good guy like Brees or Warner then that's really nice.

Really good post! Well said!
