   Let it go, Woods is just an ego-maniac and the media feeds into this hourly.

   JK nailed it – GWRX looks similar to tabloid newspaper or TMZ at this point.
   Please poll the membership on whether this type of meaningless info is desired.

   Put me down for a definitive — NO.
   Last thing … I really wish actors and athletes would just stick to performing and hit the MUTE button.
   Tired of the nonsense to be honest.

     Then don’t click on it? There’s plenty of equipment related drivel on here to satiate the boring crowd here.

   GolfWRX,

   WTF?!? Is this really the level of drivel that qualifies as news around here? Quickest way to lose your reading base is to start publishing MTV quality articles about Tiger, Lindsey, Rory and Wozniacki. Pathetic.

   Run Lindsey. Run away. Remember what he did to his wife? You’re just another ‘blonde’ to him.

     Get over it… Tiger owed nothing to you or anyone else off the golf course… frankly, what he does in his private life is none of our business. But you, like the gossipy high-schooler, Perez Hilton readers that you likely are, cannot stomach this.

       Uhhh, he owed something to his wife and kids. Failed at that pretty miserably.

       But yeah, he owes no one else.

         You mean to tell me his wife had no idea of who he was? That his potential to stay true to his colors, the same colors he used to collar her, where not always in the back of her mind? C’mon, you should be smarter than that. She was eagerly and patiently awaiting her pay-day… Cha-Ching! It was part of her plan ALL ALONG! Just track her behavior after the split!

           That’s a wonderful ability you have to read the mind of somebody you don’t even know, there.

       Is that right? What if he had molested children in his “private life”?

       Or is it that you just don’t think serial adultery — betraying, dishonoring, and humiliating your wife and children — is all that big a deal, as long as you get your golf entertainment fix?

       And incidentally, Woods himself, the Tour, and the sponsors for both couldn’t make ENOUGH out of his wonderful private life with his beautiful wife and kids, when it was making them money. Photos, video features, the whole nine yards. It was only after the cheating became public that they, and people like you, started screaming about how the “private life” didn’t matter and we should just stay out of it. (Until the “sex-addiction rehab” was over, at least.)

       Besides, nobody but 14-year-olds and people with the MTV-generation mentality use the “it’s his private life” excuse anyway. For one thing, marriage is a public institution with public benefits, starting but certainly not ending with taxation. For another, adultery is still a crime in most, if not all, states, and therefore is by definition a “public” matter. And for another, pretty much every sponsorship contract in history has the equivalent of a moral turpitude clause that allows the company a way out if the player pulls something like Woods did, and the company perceives that it’s hurting them. That is a recognition of the fact that the public certainly believes it has a legitimate interest in such behavior.

       Meanwhile, you and those like you use this “private life” thing as if it was an argument of “kind” — that is, if it excluded anything in that category. But it doesn’t. It’s a false argument, because there are certainly things he could do behind closed doors that would legitimately affect even _your_ opinion of him. The truth is, you can’t admit, or just don’t see, that this is an argument of degree, not kind, and that it comes down to the fact that as with so many other pro athletes, you’re willing to look past serial adultery so your player gets to keep playing. As in, serial adultery just isn’t as bad as other things Woods could’ve been doing in his “private life,” so you don’t want to worry about it.

       Meanwhile, we have a game that was supposed to be about more than just hitting a ball and scoring low. It was supposed to be about character and conduct, too. Do you seriously not care at all about that? Do you see this as just another pro sport like basketball, for instance, where a premier player can be guilty of either rape or cheating (depending on whose version of the facts is true), and anybody who objects to either is shouted down? That’s what you think this game should be?

         Are you that horrified at Tom Watson’s fooling around as you are of Tiger’s? What about Watson’s drug and alcohol use, is that ok with you “stevenf”? Or Phil Michelson’s gambling habit “stevenf”?

     Can you read? I’m not a Tiger fan so not used to defending him or anyone associated with him, but that’s not what the tweet says or implies…except maybe in your mind.
