Oh don't get me wrong. He's great at what he does (even though golf is more of an insomnia cure for me) and nobody would be crazy enough to stop him from playing.

Can you not love them because of who they are, and love them only for the entertainment side of them. BEcause, I dont know about you, but my only role models, are people that I know. Superstars, have to maintain an image, so most of them claim, and show a squeeky clean image. But its just wrong to hold them to that standard.
I couldnt care less about Tiger Woods personal life and his marital issues. I only care about his golf skills.

I feel the same when people criticize Jenson Button, or any other athlete, for anything outside of their athletic accomplishements.

Well, yeah exactely, If people don't like him fine but whether he cheats on his wife or not, he can still play Golf which is what he's famous for and which is where his fortune came from.

lol, I feckin' hate Golf too but I don't see why him cheating on his wife would have any bearing on his career as a golfer, I mean if you're neighbour cheats on his wife his boss isn't going to fire him, is he?? (unless he works for his wife lol!!)

your example is invalid

Tigers "career" is not just the game of golf as he is pro tour golfer and his image and character are integral to his success package. The game of golf has incredibly high standards in terms of "playing the game" - there is a lot of honour involved etc

To be caught cheating a tiny bit (ie fractionally touching the sand with your club in a bunker and not mentioning it) can utterly ruin a career full stop, and has.

Now Tiger has not cheated in golf but he has done the bext worse thing and that is your family (in golf terms).

he will never recover. dont forget tiger is a grumpy unhappy player but people forgave him because he was untouchable. this has now ended and he will have to now deal with the wrath.


its over for Tiger.

My argument is not invalid just because you say so cheeky!!

So you think the No.1 ranked golfer in the world, no longer has a career playing Golf because of his personal life? I think not.

I get what you're saying, but their relationship is between the two of them. Not the media, not 'outraged' members of the public.

People ought to just get their noses out of other peoples business.

well, no doubt, it'll turn people off for a while so I suppose it will affect his advertising deals alright but I'm sure if he lies low for a while and continues to play good golf it will blow over.

I don't think he really needs the money anyhow!!
